If you weren't aware, things are going great economically in the United States and the country is better off than ever! But that's only if you ask anybody in the Biden White House or some of the rich people the president does fundraisers with:
President Biden forgets date of Jan. 6 Capitol riots at glitzy fundraiser hosted by Michael Douglas https://t.co/hupXSMWvqf pic.twitter.com/5HHLIHcb35

January 6th was "worse than Pearl Harbor" but Biden forgot the date? He actually got it mixed up with D-Day so all will be forgiven on the Left.
Douglas confirmed that for the country's wealthy things are still going well, so Biden deserves a second term:
The Hollywood actor had noted his wife was absent because she was filming a new television series in Dublin, Ireland.
“Number 46 must become number 47,” the “Wall Street” actor said, referring to Biden as an “extraordinary, seasoned veteran.”
The election is still months away and anything could happen, but as it stands right now there aren't enough rich liberal celebrity types around to drag Biden's approval out of the mud. As a matter of fact, among presidents who served a full first term since the 1950s, Biden comes in dead last when it comes to job approval:

Biden's White House team likes to say his presidency will be historic, and they just might be right.

Lowest approval ever for a president at this point in his presidency. https://t.co/e3Q33YV3Fz

What Team Biden has to be most concerned about is Joe's numbers keep going down. So much for that anticipated "State of the Union bounce."
From Gallup:
President Joe Biden averaged 38.7% job approval during his recently completed 13th quarter in office, which began on Jan. 20 and ended April 19. None of the other nine presidents elected to their first term since Dwight Eisenhower had a lower 13th-quarter average than Biden.
George H.W. Bush had the previous low 13th-quarter average approval rating, at 41.8% in 1992. Donald Trump and Barack Obama, Biden’s immediate predecessors in office, averaged 46.8% and 45.9% job approval, respectively, at the same point in their presidencies.
Jimmy Carter is the only other president with a sub-50% average in his 13th quarter. Three of the four prior presidents who had 13th-quarter approval averages below 50% lost their reelection bids, with Obama the exception.
That's the result of "Bidenomics" and an open border.
Are Dems really gonna ride this guy into November? https://t.co/g0cxMGAymx

It sure does look that way.
Biden is the least popular incumbent President in the past 60 years. https://t.co/WFGFEeXZLQ

And the Biden campaign's strategy to counter that is to gaslight like crazy about how great things are going. It isn't working.
