Democrats on diminished Joe Biden_ Don’t believe your lying eyes.<br />Biden goes into 2024 with the economy getting stronger, but voters feel horrible about it<br />The U.S. House of Representatives is nearing a vote on formalizing its impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden goes into next year’s election with a vexing challenge: Just as the U.S. economy is getting stronger, people are still feeling horrible about it.<br /><br />Pollsters and economists say there has never been as wide a gap between the underlying health of the economy and public perception. The divergence could be a decisive factor in whether the Democrat secures a second term next year. Republicans are seizing on the dissatisfaction to skewer Biden, while the White House is finding less success as it tries to highlight economic progress.<br /><br />“Things are getting better and people think things are going to get worse — and that’s the most dangerous piece of this,” said Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who has worked with Biden. Lake said voters no longer want to just see inflation rates fall — rather, they want an outright decline in prices, something that last happened on a large scale during the Great Depression.<br /><br />
