After a Gallup poll reported that over half of Americans believe they are “better off” now than they were four years ago Biden said those Americans should not vote for him. During a campaign stop in Cincinnati, Ohio the Democrat Presidential nominee was asked by reporter Kyle Inskeep, “Gallup reported last week, 56% of Americans said that they were better off today than they were four years ago, that would have been under the Obama-Biden administration. So why should people who feel that they are better off today, under the Trump administration, vote for you?”

According to The Daily Wire:

“Well, if they think that, they probably shouldn’t,” Biden responded.

Biden incorrectly repeated the percentage in the poll and suggested Americans had faulty memories. “They think — 54% of the American people believe they’re better off economically today than they were under our administration? Well, their memory is not very good, quite frankly,” Biden said, according to Fox News.

Prior to the coronavirus lockdowns, wages were rising and unemployment rates were hitting historic lows.

Polling suggested that Americans were optimistic about the economy at that time. A December 2019 CNN survey revealed that 76% of those polled said that the economy was either “very or somewhat good.”

Biden went on to insult hardworking Americans who say they have prospered under President Trump’s administration as opposed to the Obama-Biden administration saying, “well their memory is not very good quite frankly.”
