The Disconnect 0
The Star-Ledger’s Tom Moran looks at a recent Monmouth poll showing that over half of the populace thinks that the economy is doing poorly, then he runs the numbers, which indicate quite the opposite. A snippet:
Here are some inconvenient facts for Biden’s critics:
Since he took office, the economy has added 13 million new jobs, the most ever created in a single term. The unemployment rate is 3.6 percent, the lowest it’s been since the 1960s. The rate among Hispanics hit a record low of 3.2 last year, and for Blacks, the all-time low came this spring, when the rate dipped to 4.7 percent.
The man deserves a thumbs-up. But the Monmouth poll shows that 48 percent disapprove of Biden’s performance on jobs, with 47 percent approving.
