The left always blame the messaging and not the policy

An
NPR/Marist poll released in December had some sobering numbers. While 4 in 5 of those who received direct one-off Covid relief checks earlier this year said they helped at least a little, only a quarter of people said it helped a lot. The survey also found that the percentage of households reporting they received the child tax credit is significantly lower than the percentage of households eligible for the tax credit, raising the question of whether some of them didn't know they were receiving enhanced support as the product of a Biden policy. Moreover, two-thirds said the tax credit only helped them a little.
The survey also found that Biden isn’t receiving credit for bills he’s pushed for. Per NPR’s
analysis of the poll:
When it came to those direct payments, respondents gave Democrats in Congress a plurality of the credit for getting them to people (40%), while 17%, credited Republicans — even though zero congressional Republicans voted for the March relief bill.
The same percentage — just 17% — felt Biden was most responsible for sending the cash.
"It doesn't look like he's leading the charge even though it's his bill," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
"It's an issue of the messaging out of the White House," Miringoff said.
Those numbers aren't
all bad for the Democrats; it’s at least good that congressional Democrats are receiving significant credit for policies they passed. But the fact that the Biden administration is getting as much credit as Republicans who tried to
block a bill he lobbied for isn’t promising, especially given how Republicans will make the midterm elections a referendum on Biden’s leadership.
That NPR/Marist poll isn’t an outlier.
Plenty of of other surveys have found that voters who have personally benefited from Biden’s policies don’t think they have, and don’t readily give him credit for his own policy wins.
