Thanks for clarifying this.
What strikes me when looking at that image are the years. Did they explain why they are comparing 2025 with that specific range of dates from 2023 and 2022? It would have made more sense to compare with opinions before the election in 2024 and have two sets of dates that matched timeframes after the first 100 days for the current and previous administrations. That’s 2024 and 2021 - not what they used here.
I can think of two reasons.
I’d go so far to say that corporate news sources blame Democrats for Republican economic crashes then chase squirrels during Democratic economic booms.
I specifically remember even MSNBC talking about job reports during the Biden admin saying things like “The US economy added 250,000 new jobs in April, more than doubling expectations, but economists warn that a recession is coming.” A recession that never happened - until T**** was in charge.
And even there, he really had to work hard to trash that booming Biden economy. But he did, and somehow blamed it on Biden. The MSM seems to be backing him in this, and his people believe it. So, there you have it.
Even during the Biden administration, and in the run up to the election, there were Democrats who didn’t believe that they’d delivered a booming economy. On one hand, if you’re struggling, I understand that it’s tough to hear that the economy is booming (without you). On the other hand, people forgot just how bad it was in 2020 and even in 2021 as the economy was recovering but not yet recovered. By 2024, people had jobs (often better ones than they had prior to the pandemic) and wage growth exceeded inflation 3.2% to 2.4%.
Yeah, your source of information really shapes how you see events like how the economy is going.
Here’s a link to the actual poll, including the questions, methodology, etc., if anyone is interested.
It’s such an obvious and extreme bias that I can’t bring myself to watch any of it.
Yeah, I haven’t watched any tv news since the election.
The Trump Economy sinks all boats.
