Here's why the gap between Americans' perception of U.S. economic performance and reality has doubled since 2019, according to economists
Briefly

The U.S. economy grew by 10.6% under Biden-Harris, surpassing Trump’s 7.4% growth, and reaching a peak GDP of $22.9 trillion, reflecting superior economic performance.
While the economy's performance under Biden-Harris is statistically stronger, many Americans still perceive the economy as performing poorly, highlighting a significant perception gap.
Employment under Trump peaked at 152.3 million, but by September 2024, under Biden-Harris, total employment reached a record of 159 million, demonstrating significant job growth.
Despite the objective data showing superior economic performance under the Biden-Harris administration, a substantial majority of Americans believe the economy is fairing poorly.
