About a hundred times a day one of the White House’s social media accounts brags about how historically awesome the Biden presidency has been for the American economy. In spite of the gaslighting, the approval needle doesn’t seem to be moving upward (it’s almost as if reality tells a different story):
ABC's Jon Karl with bad polling news for Democrats: "More than half of the country disapproves of Biden's job performance…40% say they are worse off financially than they were two years ago. The most negative response to that question in nearly 40 years of our polling…" pic.twitter.com/Di2kvS5lBb

"4 in 10 Americans say they've gotten worse off financially since Biden became president, the most in ABC News/WP polls dating back 37 years."
"Nearly six in 10 Democratic-aligned adults don't want to see Biden nominated again for the job"https://t.co/YK9Vf1pHjL

And why is Biden’s approval rating low and not budging no matter what happens? “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd teed up a softball question for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg this morning. Buttigieg’s answer? Biden’s done such a great job in all aspects that Americans just can’t grasp it all:

PETE BUTTIGIEG explains why Biden's approval numbers aren't better:

So Americans are so overwhelmed by the successes of this administration that they’re just unable to translate it into greater approval for Biden? Oooo-kay.
The funniest one-liner I’ve heard this year. Bravo @PeteButtigieg https://t.co/6MJlHvr376

“The American people are too stupid to comprehend all our successes” is an ingenious messaging strategy! https://t.co/rxnIGJVAZk

It’s really all they’ve got.
