Opinion | Voters punished Biden for problems he didn’t cause and effectively addressed
msnbc.com
Summary
President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.
His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.
However, Biden's approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.
Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

Historically, President Trump has never taken blame for anything - only credit.
His 34% approval rating when he left office disagrees.
No president ever stands up and says "I take the blame for what my predecessor did." But they are all quite whiling to take credit for things that they had no hand in.
