But one of the interviewees was a African American woman who was unhappy with the economy. She was threatening to not vote in the general election. I can understand she may be frustrated with aspects of the economy (her main point was that it was hard to earn enough working 40 hours a week to support a family), but to think that it will be better for her under Trump? That does not compute.
Biden really shot himself in the foot with his Administration's response to high inflation, and I think it's coming back to bite him. They were all on "Team Transitory" for the longest time, and pointing to global inflation rates as evidence that it wasn't their fault. But voters hate inflation, and minimizing the problem - rather than very visible efforts to try to fight the problem - was 100% the wrong choice. Adopting a green energy bill (which is basically the main part of the Inflation Reduction Act) doesn't help; while most Democratic voters are generally supportive of efforts to fight climate change, it's not much of a priority for most of them.
Voters are very much aware that when Trump was President, prices (not inflation rates) and interest rates were much lower. And they're ticked off about it.
