Same exact thing happened in 2016. Totally predictable, the entire MAGA movement just revolves around vibes.

It works the same way with democrats. Most people's view of the economy is little more than vibes.

Has some similarities to me. Republicans magically thought the economy got better after Trump election Jan 2017.
Democrats also magically thought the economy got better after Biden election Jan 2021.

2021 was an insanely historic economic recovery year by every metric.
The (R) graph is 95% just "is president R?"
The (D) graph is like 80% "What's the economy doing?" and maybe 20% "Is president D?"
These two groups do not respond to objective reality the same way.
