I can't link to the Bloomberg story here, but Biden's economic recovery has exceeded any other president since Carter. This shouldn't be surprising for two reasons. First, the problem in the economy was largely due to the pandemic and partly due to our chronic economic inequality. Second, the Democrats addressed both in their Covid relief packages. By putting a massive influx of money into the bottom of the economy, they increased aggregate demand a lot. The "problems" in the recovery have been related to supply, and they are in the process of sorting themselves out.
It takes months for an economic recovery to sink in with voters. The fact that consumer confidence is rising now is good news for the midterms, so let's hope Covid fucks off and becomes a common cold.
