A new CNN analysis fretted that American voters might care more about the cost of their food than they do about the Jan. 6 hearings. Noting Thursday’s Consumer Price Index data which showed inflation reaching 8.2% in September, as well as a cost-of-living index at its highest level since 1982, CNN's Stephen Collinson noted polling has repeatedly reinforced that the economy is the top concern to voters heading into the midterm elections.The data included information about frozen potato products, as well as pork products, which have increased 10% and 5.5%, respectively.
"While it would be too simplistic to say voters are more preoccupied with the cost of French fries than the price of democratic freedoms, it wouldn’t be far from the mark," Collinson wrote. A new CNN/SSRS poll from Thursday also showed that 59% of registered voters say that the economy is an "extremely important" factor in their vote, rising to 67% in competitive congressional districts.The poll also found that only 32% of respondents approve of the White House's handling of inflation. On the economy as a whole, only 36% approved of Biden’s performance.
It was determined back in July that the U.S. suffered back-to-back consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, which has long been the indicator of a recession.
However, both the Biden administration and many members of the media have dismissed that long-standing definition. But, Biden acknowledged in a recent CNN interview the possibility of what he described as a "slight recession" could occur in the near future.
