Voters are shedding some of their pessimism about the economy, a new Wall Street Journal poll finds, but the more upbeat mood is producing only a marginal improvement in views of President Biden.
Some 31% of voters in the survey said the economy had gotten better over the past two years, during the majority of Biden’s tenure, a rise of 10 percentage points from a WSJ poll in December. And 43% said their personal finances are headed in the right direction, a 9-point increase from the prior survey.
