Real GDP growth inflation adjusted 

Its not impressive the economy grew 5.8% when everyone went back to work after covid. Any president in office could of achieved that.
Notice Biden's second year is worse than Trump's first three years.

Biden
2021-2022   5.8%
2022-2023     1.93%

Trump
2017-2018   2.46
2018-2019   2.97
2019-2020   2.47
2020-2021   -2.21

Source Fred (federal reserve economic data)

I made a mistake. The aforementioned numbers were annually averaged over the year, so they're smoother than they should be.
Here are the numbers based on Q4 percent change from a year ago. No averages involved.

Real GDP Growth (Inflation Adjusted)

Biden
measuring end of Q4 
2021   5.42%
2022   0.65%

Trump 
2017  2.99%
2018  2.13%
2019  3.18%
2020  -1.08%

The economy is larger today than pre-Covid 
GDP fell during Q1 in 2020 because of Covid. 2019 Q4 was pre-covid. Lets calculate percent change of Real GDP from 2019 to 2021.

Q4
2019  20,951 (2017 Billions dollars)
2021  21,847 (2017 Billions dollars)
2019-2021  4.28%  (Real GDP growth from pre-Covid to a year after covid) 


Biden performed 1.10% better than the typical 3.18% Real GDP average. He grew the economy 0% in 2022. It looks like 2023 will end with 2.1% growth and 2024 a recession. Go Brandon.

Notice Biden added more jobs in his first 30 months than Trump did in his first 30 months?
Unemployment rate pre-covid 3.6%. Unemployment rate now 3.8%. Amazing, people went back to work after Covid

Different sources slightly different numbers. I could call you liar for not having numbers consistent with me. However, it's literally tenths of a percent your talking about here.

Biden already beat Trump’s best unemployment rate of 3.67%. Loser!
2021 - 3.61% and 2019 - 3.67% so a 0.06% difference. Dam Biden.

Trump oversaw a 22 trillion dollar GDP in 2019

Biden had a 25 trillion dollar GDP in 2022. Loser!
Outstanding!

Do you understand the difference between GDP and real GDP?
That has yet to be demonstrated. That would necessitate a fervor to consider information in context, and abandon partisan talking points.

As usual you lie and distort. The poll did not say Democrats dislike Biden. You are a liar.

But most Libertarians are liars.

That's not what the poll said. It 67% of Democratic voters wanted another candidate, which is a very different thing.

To that point, no other candidate got more than 3% of the "other" vote, which tells us what any pollster already knows; it's nearly impossible to run against people's imaginations. Up against a generic candidate the polling will always be lower than the reality of another human being with actual human flaws.

Moreover, looking at the issues driving this by far the number one reason democrats want someone else is because of his age, which goes to show how pointless and intellectually vapid this criticism of yours is. The respondents you are pointing to to make your argument are not basing their answers on anything he has done or even has any control over. It's entirely about age discrimination. His mental competency and fitness for office are listed as separate issues, none of which account for more than 7% of people's top concerns.

According to this link, it hasn't.


There was a spike in 2021, but that's understandable given there had to be a bounceback from Covid year 2020. 2022 saw a meager 0.65% growth, which I guess was the bounceback from that spike, combined with Ukraine stuff.
Admittedly the figure for 2023 looked high considering it stopped halfway through the year. This is likely going to be another bounce year. But in any case, what we haven't seen under Biden is a consistent, uninterrupted economic boom. The two impressive years we have seen are outcomes largely "borrowed"  from the year previous to such.
If 2024 is also considerably better than average, then you might have a point. But it's too early to tell.

On an unrelated note, 2020 saw most of the US workforce literally staying home for months at a time, and a cool million excess mortalities among the working age population, and a global economic downturn, yet less than half the drop we saw in 2008.
This might have been pure luck or otherwise not attributable to anything Trump did, but in any case the Trump economy remained fairly stable even in the face of a once-in-a-century pandemic. It's impossible to tell whether the economy would've fared worse under a 2020 President Biden, but I think it's fair to say a president openly hostile to commercial interests wouldn't have helped keep the ship afloat.

Well here's a crazy idea... Read your own source. It's right there as I already explained.
