Maybe it's also the case that poor consumer sentiment is capturing some degree of (COVID-related) poor overall well-being rather than poor financial circumstances per se. But that's still useful to know, because poor overall well-being is likely bad news for Biden politically. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, if people are unhappy, that's bad for the incumbent party (Democrats in 2022/2024). And people have lots of good reasons to be unhappy. I'm not sure if it matters so much to sort out whether they're unhappy because of COVID or the economy per se. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org
