Biden Economic Policy Tag

When thinking and writing about politics, we often focus on the left and the right. However, the people who fall somewhere in between are often more important in elections. The 2022 midterms are still quite a way off. but Biden is not polling well with independent voters. If that trend continues, it could be very bad news for Democrats.

The April jobs report showed the U.S. added only 266,000 jobs during the month and the unemployment ticked up to 6.1%. Economists are usually off the mark, but holy cow. They predicted 978,000 job growth and unemployment of 5.8%. I have never seen such a huge difference between prediction and numbers. Miserable considering the U.S. started to see some growth at the end of former President Donald Trump's term.
