A Politico article Thursday questioned why Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t getting a polling increase from the present “dream economy.”
Beneath the headline, “Harris is riding a dream economy into the election. It may be too late for voters to notice,” Politico economics correspondent Victoria Guida wrote that the present numbers on inflation, unemployment and GDP confirmed “a solid economic picture” for the vice chairman forward of the election.
“The question now is whether it’s too late for Vice President Kamala Harris to get credit for it,” Guida wrote.

Guida pointed to the morning’s report that inflation charges have cooled to the bottom ranges in three years final month at 2.4%, although that is greater than economists’ unique prediction of two.3%. She added that the unemployment charge stays low whereas the S&P 500 inventory index grew by 20%.

“The positive economic picture is a remarkable victory for both Biden and Powell, even as consumers still feel squeezed by higher prices,” Guida wrote.
Whereas inflation has declined from its near-record ranges in 2022, costs have continued to extend within the final 4 years. In line with a FOX Enterprise evaluation, meals costs rose by about 22.8%, power costs rose by about 42.4% and new car costs rose by 19.5%.

Fox Information contributor Joe Concha wrote, “A dream economy? You guys and gals have really outdone yourselves. Take a bow and enjoy the ratio.”
“Only if the ‘dream’ happens to be a nightmare,” writer Carol Roth joked.
Radio host Erick Erickson wrote, “This is why Harris is losing. She and the political press reside in the same bubble where everything is fine while the rest of America has had to cut back because of gas and groceries over the last three years.”
“Once again, we voters are just too stupid to notice that the economy is really great,” conservative person Amy Curtis wrote.
