Some individuals who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 said they could support former President Donald Trump this year because they were tired of his “gaslighting” them on the economy and other matters.
One person, simply known as “Omar,” took part in a focus group of “undecideds” who met earlier this week to discuss the 2024 election and the variables impacting their choices to vote, according to The Daily Wire. He appeared to share the group’s views on Biden, particularly with relation to the status of the economy.
During the conversation, they were asked to compare their current economic condition under Joe Biden’s presidency with that of Donald Trump’s. Surprisingly, each one of them expressed that they believed they were better off during Trump’s administration.
A follow-up question was then posed to the focus group: “Are you pretty much convinced that Trump’s policies would be better for the economy, or is there anything Joe Biden could do or say between now and the time you vote that would make you feel differently about feeling that his policies would not be as good for your family on the economy?”
First to speak, one of the women expressed her opinion that Biden didn’t seem to be taking the time to really address the economy.

“It seems like he doesn’t really accept responsibility for anything that’s happening. And not even responsibility, as if he doesn’t believe it’s happening,” she exclaimed.
Omar went on, “The point is that Biden needs to hear the people.” Because he isn’t considering homelessness or unemployment when he talks about how well the economy is doing, and he isn’t considering the cost of groceries when he discusses the stock market. And all the while, he’s gaslighting practically everybody.
According to the ABC/Ipsos poll conducted between March 8 and 9 of 539 adults, 36 percent of respondents said that they trusted Trump compared to 33 percent who said they trusted Biden, while 30 percent said neither candidate had their trust.
Trump received higher ratings than President Biden on all issues except abortion and climate change when respondents were asked about their opinions on the job performance of both presidents, The Post Millennial reported, citing the survey.
Trump garnered a 49 percent favorable rating on the economy, contrasting with Biden’s 37 percent. Regarding inflation, 45 percent approved of Donald Trump, compared to 31 percent for Biden. Regarding crime, Trump was viewed more favorably at 41 percent compared to Biden’s 35 percent. Similarly, on immigration, the former president received a 45 percent favorable rating, while Biden trailed with 29 percent.
