While President Biden walks on the beach in Delaware a new devastating poll was released.
An ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 83% of Americans say the economy is extremely or very important to them and it will dictate how they will vote in November.
The poll also found that only 37% of Americans approve of the way Biden is handling the economy and only 28% approve of his handling of inflation.
From ABC News:
In the poll, 80% of Americans say that inflation is also an extremely or very important factor in how they will vote and for gas prices, it is 74%.
Joe Biden’s approval ratings for his handling of these key issues are all well underwater, suggesting trouble for the president and Democratic candidates ahead of the midterm. Only 37% approve of Biden’s handling of the economic recovery, and even fewer approve of his handling of inflation (28%) and gas prices (27%).
The poll also found that Democrat voters are dreading the midterm election. Only 35% of Democrats are very enthusiastic about voting compared to 55% of Republicans.
Meanwhile, Biden sent out his boy, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg who said the economy is doing great.

Forgive my frankness but these people are driving me nuts.
Biden has a “clear plan” for inflation? Really!? Less than six months ago Biden said it was “transitory.”
CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: “As recently as six months ago, you were calling inflation ‘a short-term problem, not a long-term problem.’”
