And the case that the connection has been frayed is at least plausible. Most economic indicators support the perception of a fairly strong economy. And it's not the first time we've seen something odd in this area: approval ratings were less responsive to the economy from 08-20 — PolitiTweet.org

#1, otoh, is an important hypothesis. The role of the economy in politics is a really central finding in political science. If the media environment and/or polarization has severed the connection between economic reality and public perception, that's really important — PolitiTweet.org

But from 08-20, I do think public perceptions of the economy were fairly credibly tied to economic reality. It would be a step further if voters now reached a fairly erroneous conclusion about the economy — PolitiTweet.org
