NBC News exit polls from Tuesday’s elections showed voters are deeply worried about pocketbook issues and the direction of the country.

Ahead of Tuesday’s elections, Donald Trump assured Americans that prices are coming down, the economy is picking up and the nation is flourishing in ways that make it the world’s envy.

Voters don’t seem to be buying it.

Democrats swept key races, as exit polls depicted an electorate gripped by fears that the U.S. is careening in the wrong direction, far from Trump’s glowing portrait of a nation ascendant.

    The post-covid economic recovery was relatively strong under Biden. Biden had double the job growth Trump did in his first turn. What metrics are you using to back that claim?

    You know what did just start? Trump’s ruinous economic policies, the ones you’re currently excusing.

      You heard a critique of the economy under Biden, which was shit, and assumed it was excusing Trump? Despite them telling us everyday that we are not struggling and everything is good we knew it wasn’t. Good economies don’t have 2 record back to back levels of homelessness, people living paycheck to paycheck skyrocketed, Biden tried to take credit for those returning to work after closedowns as job recovery. Liberals only see that it’s shit now because it’s not their team doing it

      lolwut? The economy under Biden was terrible. Yes, it’s gotten worse under Trump, but pretending that Biden was doing a good job is just putting your head in the sand.

      What metrics are you using to back that claim?

      Generatl inflation, Housing, Medical costs, Education costs
