What you need to know: Thanks to Biden's economy, Americans are struggling to afford basic goods as their paychecks continue to shrink. Overall wage growth is slowing while inflation remains high, meaning workers are seeing a massive pay cut under Biden. U.S. average gas prices currently sit at $3.57 per gallon which is more than $1.00 higher than when Biden became president. Americans are not happy with Biden's economy. Almost 80% of Americans say Biden’s policies have not helped them, with almost half saying that Biden’s policies are actively hurting their family. Just 33% of Americans approve of Biden's handling of the economy according to an AP-NORC poll. Only 37% of Americans approve of Biden's handling of inflation according to a recent Harvard/Harris poll. 83% of Americans say the economic situation is negative and almost 80% say that Biden’s policies have not helped them according to the latest Fox News survey. Republicans are doing everything in their power to combat Democrats' disastrous economic agenda and deliver economic prosperity for the American people. Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery. The latest state jobs report shows that 8 of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and all 10 states have Republican-controlled legislatures. Out of the top 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 8 are led by Republican governors.   Tweet of the Week Republican Party of Arkansas | 1201 W. 6th St, Little Rock, AR 72201 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Sent by [email protected] in collaboration with Try email marketing for free today!
