Here’s the price, stupid.
President Biden is struggling to connect with voters — and has become more unpopular as a result — because he has not emphasized the same issues they care about, such as lowering inflation, a poll released Tuesday revealed.
“Bidenomics doesn’t resonate with most voters, because they don’t see it as focused on their top economic priorities: lowering the prices of goods, services and gas,” the survey conducted by BluePrint/YouGov found.
According to the survey, 64% of voters said the prices of goods, services and gas were the parts of the economy they would most like to see improved.
Meanwhile, Biden largely touted job creation, citing only 7% of voters as most important to them.
About three-quarters (73%) of respondents want lower costs when factoring in the 9% who most want a decrease in mortgage and credit card rates.
One in five voters (20%) said they wanted higher wages the most.

However, the poll found that 43% of voters said Biden focused on jobs while only 23% of respondents said he focused on cutting costs — the top economic priority of most voters.
By comparison, a total of 72% of voters said Republicans are more focused on cutting costs — with 54% citing lowering the price of goods, services and gas and 18% citing interest rates on mortgage and credit card debt.
Similarly, 73% of voters said former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, is focused on reducing these costs.

Biden is also losing the messaging war, survey finds.
More than three-quarters of voters (77%) said they were aware of a sharp rise in inflation since 2021, but far fewer (38%) knew it had fallen from those record highs, the survey said.
Voters were almost evenly split when asked about “Bidenomics” — with 51% saying it’s good for the economy and 49% bad.
Another aspect of the messaging deficit is that voters are hearing more about Biden’s unpopular policies, according to Blueprint, a new public opinion research initiative.
For example, 84% of voters said they were aware of Biden’s policy to cancel student debt — but only 52% of voters supported it.
Meanwhile, 74% of voters support increased oil and gas drilling to increase energy supplies that has happened under Biden, but less than half of voters say the president is responsible for it.
Elsewhere, only 46% of voters have heard Biden’s questionable claims to reduce the federal deficit by $1.7 trillion — a feat supported by 89% of voters.

“Biden is defined by his progressive policies,” said Evan Roth Smith, founding partner of Slingshot Strategies, which oversaw the YouGov poll conducted for the Blueprint.
Smith also said Biden and Democrats’ attempts to paint Republicans as too extreme have failed.
According to the survey, 64% of voters said the prices of goods, services and gas were the parts of the economy they would most like to see improved. AP
The poll found that voters do not see Trump and the GOP as more ideologically extreme than Biden and the Democratic Party: 43% of voters believe Biden is “much” more liberal than them; about the same share, 41%, believe Trump is “much” more conservative than they are
Similarly, 60% of voters see the Democratic Party as “somewhat” or “much” more liberal than them, while 57% of voters see the Republican Party as “somewhat” or “much” more conservative than them.
“Refused [the] The ‘extreme’ angle on Republicans doesn’t work,” Smith said.

Biden’s exit may help explain why Biden trails Trump in five key battleground states, according to a recent NY Times/Siena College poll.
The Blueprint-commissioned national poll conducted by YouGov questioned 1,063 voters from Oct. 26. to Nov 2, using web panel respondents.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
