President Joe Biden’s predicament:

• Unemployment has plummeted.
• Lower paid workers are getting big raises.
• The stock market is at a near all-time high.
• COVID rates are down – vaccines and masks are generally working.

Yet, Biden’s poll numbers are in the tank. Why?

A panel of Democratic politicos weigh in:

• Rick DeGraw is a longtime political strategist and campaign manager.
• Tony Cani was deputy director of Biden 2020 in Arizona.
• Bob Lord is an attorney and onetime Democratic candidate for congress in Arizona.
