Each campaign has been using their own set of data points to create a favorable economic picture of their time in office. But for many voters, their view of the economy will vary greatly on how they fit into it.
I asked my brother this four years ago. He said he was. It was a bad question to ask him because there are many factors that can determine this besides who the president is. Still… he was unemployed from 2017 to 2021 and he felt in 2020 he was doing better than he was when he had a job and could support himself. I bet he’d answer no today despite being employed for most of the last 4 years. He was fired briefly for saying “something they interpreted as racist” but he got a new job real quick. He bought a house under biden. I think it was a mistake and he could wind up upside down real soon, but he went from unemployed to rushing into home ownership. People who are committed will believe the reality they want to.

That’s quite a stretch. Did he have health issues that prevented employment?
