Let's skip to the end (like I do with novels)
Lame-ass excuse: ( "I suspect" )
I suspect a lot of pessimism about the economy is “referred pain.” Just as part of your body can hurt because of injury to another, pessimism about the economy may reflect dissatisfaction with the country as a whole. Lately, there has been a lot to be dissatisfied about: intensifying political and cultural conflict and intolerance, the pandemic, the border, mass shootings, crime, war in Ukraine and now the war in the Middle East.
Why? Because this is all you see in the MSM and "social" media.
They control the message.
What matters:
The good news for Biden, if you want to cal it that, is that people may not be as upset about the economy as they tell pollsters. The bad news is, they are pretty upset about everything else.
MESSAGING, MESSAGING.
