Biden blames the press for his underwater economic polling

President Joe Biden suggested Friday that the media is choosing to selectively cover negative sentiment regarding Bidenomics.

For months, if not years, Biden's economic polling has been underwater, but a new poll from NBC showed just 38% approving of his economic policies, a low mark for his term in office. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has surpassed Biden among voters under 45 in a poll from PBS NewsHour, driven primarily by discomfort with the current economy.

"You all are not the happiest people in the world in what you report. I mean it sincerely. It gets a more — you get more legs when you report something negative. I don't mean you're picking on me. It's just the nature of things," the president told reporters when asked about his polling following remarks on the September jobs report. "If you just listen to what's going on around the world, there's reason for people to be concerned."
