    It really is incredible. The original article implies it is ELITIST to think that poor people thought the economy was doing badly (despite the fact that real wages were lower than when Biden took office).

    "Our mechanism doesn’t rely on voters acting irrationally by ignoring the strength of the economy and focusing only on the price of milk and eggs. "

    The price of food, famously an irrelevant concern that people would be irrational to be bothered about. (of course, their main evidence that the economy is good is primarily the GDP)

      Agriculture is only 5% of the GDP so food is pretty much irrelevant
