Reagan (R) beat Carter (D) in November 1980 by asking the question “are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?”
When Carter took on 20 January 1977:
- Gas was inflation adjusted $2.93/gal
- Inflation was 6.5%
When Carter left Office:
- Gas was Inflation adjusted $4.14/gal
- Inflation was 13.3%
If Biden were to have to run today the question would be, “are you better today than you were 2 years ago?”
On Inauguration Day 20 January 2021:
- Gas was $2.38/gal national average
- Inflation was 1.4%
-- Because of Biden's Inflation the average American worker has taken a 3.5% pay cut in terms of buying power
- CBP Illegal apprehensions at the Southern Border:
-- FY20: 646,822 (Trump's last year in office)
Today:
- Gas is $3.87/gal
- Inflation is 8.6%
- CBP Illegal apprehensions at the Southern Border:
-- FY21: 1,148,024 (Biden's first year in office)
-- FY22: 2,766,582 (Record Breaking) + another ~600,000 "Got Aways"
The answer is obvious. Biden has tanked the economy in 21 short months. Biden is Carter 2.0 so: “are you better off today than you were 21 months ago when Biden & Harris took office?”
