Biden struggles to boost economic approval as he promotes 'Bidenomics': Poll

President Joe Biden is having difficulty persuading voters that he is handling the economy well.

In the past weeks, Biden and his team have pushed "Bidenomics," a catchphrase to represent his economic priorities and a callback to President Ronald Reagan's "Reaganomics." However, rather than championing a trickle-down system, Biden is adamant about a ground-up approach. For him, this means building the economy back "from the bottom up and the middle out."

However, according to a new Associated Press-NORC poll, this isn't sinking in with the public. Only 36% of adults said they approve of Biden's handling of the economy. The figure is lower than the 42% who approve of Biden's performance overall. These numbers are not a significant departure from where they stood in past months despite the administration's efforts to highlight improvements in the economy.
