Precisely this! Because of the Biden Administration’s lack of effective messaging, the news media echoed three-and-a-half years of Republican shit-talking of the economy, thus creating a very negative "vibe economy".
Regardless of the positive reality, and positive measures for which Biden-Harris never received due credit, with regards to inflation and crime and the border, Kamala Harris was fighting a steep uphill messaging battle.
Again, the Biden Administration was out with positive messaging on the economy, IJJA, IRA, CHIPs routinely. Everyone wants a Monday morning whipping boy but there's no magic bully pulpit elixir Biden could've unleashed if the media-who wanted Trump back bad for revenues-didn't want to cover it.
I think the problem with saying that inflation is down is that doesn’t mean that *prices* are going down - it just means they aren’t going up fast. People are still in sticker shock about what things cost these days, and they aren’t really placated by “Well, it’s not getting worse…”
True, lots of people improvement requires prices to come down, i.e. actual deflation. Many might also be ignoring that their own salary has grown at a higher rate than inflation. But somehow lots of Republican voters believe, that after Trump won, the economy is now magically better. (Look at the Axios chart!) Go figure!

Take a look at the Axios chart to which I linked!
Re the chart, that happens every time. The right-wing media report only good news when the GOP is in charge and only bad news when Dems are in charge.

Stop blaming the media for Biden's empty pulpit.
