polling memo

Washington Examiner | Cami Mondeaux

March 11, 2024

The race to replace Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) in the House is expected to
be one of the most competitive elections of the 2024 cycle, and it could
come down to which party has the most money to spare.

Republican candidate Tom Barrett leads Democrat Curtis Hertel by 7
percentage points, garnering 44% of the vote compared to Hertel's 37%,
according to internal polling commissioned by the Barret campaign and
obtained by the Washington Examiner. The polling memo shows Barrett holds
an advantage over Hertel thanks to stronger name recognition in the
district, which he likey accumulated after running against Slotkin in the
2022 midterm elections.

WG Economy: Snickers Fights Back on

President's Claims of Shrinkflation

WG Economy | David Winston

March 13, 2024

The new inflation report showed the Consumer Price Index hovering above 3%
(3.2%) for the ninth month in a row, with cumulative food price inflation
at 21% since the start of the Biden presidency. From our latest survey for
Winning the Issues (February 24-25), people judge the state of inflation by
the prices of items they regularly buy such as groceries and gas (82%) over
the CPI, government statistics, and economic news (13%). It is no surprise
the President is searching for an answer on high food prices going into his
re-election campaign.

The President's State of the Union address targeted "shrinkflation" as a
cause of high food prices, accusing companies of deceptive pricing and
reducing the size of products without a cost reduction: "Snack companies
think you won't notice when they charge you just as much for the same size
bag but with fewer chips in it... You get charged the same amount and you
got about 10% fewer Snickers in it."

WG Discussion Points: WH Goes After Shrinkflation As Solution For Food
Prices

WG Discussion Points| David Winston

March 8, 2024

In last night's State of the Union address, we heard President Biden talk
about food prices and "shrinkflation." The White House has been unable to
convince voters that ifnation is getting better. By a very large margin,
voters determine the state of inflation by the prices of items they
regularly buy such as groceries and gas (82%) more than the CPI, government
sources and financial news (13%). Food prices are among the most difficult
household expenses, and the Biden campaign seems to realize this is a big
problem. Based on the latest CPI report, food costs have increased 20.8%
since the start of the biden presidency. As shown in our trend chart, the
cumulative weekly wage increase is 12.8% - meaning that weekly wages have
lagged 8% behind the increased cumulative food prices.
