Biden’s economic messaging should ‘hit Trump’ and highlight his mistakes, data reveals

Biden can revive ailing poll numbers by reminding voters Trump was a threat to social security and cut taxes for the wealthy

Joe Biden should sharpen his economic message by acknowledging voters' pain and drawing a more direct contrast with Donald Trump to revive his ailing poll numbers, according to research presented to the White House and seen by the Guardian.

Surveys by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), a grassroots organisation aligned with Senator Elizabeth Warren, found that voters trust Republicans over Democrats to handle the economy - but there are ways to close the gap by highlighting Trump's past mistakes and threat to social security.
