Just 14% of Americans think Biden has made them better off as president: Another dire poll shows 70% believe Bidenomics has 'hurt' them
- Yet another poll spells out the challenge facing Biden's reelection campaign
- Although Biden has overseen reduced inflation, voters still face higher prices
- And only 14 percent of registered voters think they are better off under him
A new poll spells out the steep economic cliff that President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is facing.
Just 14 percent of voters think his policies have made them better off, according to the survey published Monday.
And overall almost 70 per cent said Biden's economic policies had either hurt the US economy or had no impact, including 33 per cent who said they believed the president's policies had 'hurt the economy a lot.'
The results come after a series of polls show the president losing to former President Donald Trump, his likely Republican challenger, in the key battlegrounds that could decide the 2024 election.
For its part, the Biden campaign points out the only thing that matters is what voters do at the polling booth and that Democrats scored a slew of victories in elections last week.

And Biden administration officials believe they have a good news story to tell on the economy after reducing inflation from post-pandemic highs of more than nine percent.
The president himself has frequently leaned into 'Bidenomics' — his effort to reinvigorate the nation's industrial sector and create well-paying jobs.
'When Donald Trump looks at America, he sees a failing nation,' Biden said during a campaign stop in Chicago on Thursday. 'When I look at America, I see the strongest economy in the world ... leading the world again, the ability to set the world standards.'
A new monthly poll conducted for the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business suggests most voters are closer to Trump than Biden in their analysis.
Democratic strategists Global Strategy Group and Republican polling firm North Star Opinion Research surveyed 1,004 registered voters nationwide.
Only 26 per cent said Biden's policies had helped.
When asked what was causing them most financial stress, some 82 percent of those surveyed said price increases.
'Every group — Democrats, Republicans and independents — list rising prices as by far the biggest economic threat . . . and the biggest source of financial stress,' said Erik Gordon, a professor at Michigan's Ross School.
'That is bad news for Biden, and the more so considering how little he can do to reverse the perception of prices before election day.'

The Biden campaign has dismissed bleak polls as nothing but 'noise' and pointed to similar negative headlines a year before Barak Obama was reelected president in 2012.
Last week Michael Tyler, Biden-Harris 2024 communications director, circulated a memo after Democrats had a strong set of election results, with the party taking control of both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly, holding the governor's mansion in Kentucky, and with voters in Ohio enshrining a right to abortion.
'It will be a close election, but this is a president and a team that doesn't shy away from a fight,' he wrote.
'Joe Biden has been counted out time and time again and proved pollsters and pundits wrong. Now is the time to put our heads down, execute, and bring this thing home one year from now.'
