I expect Biden to remind (and in some cases inform) voters of his economic accomplishment. Biden and the Democrats have to correct misconceptions and misinformation. For example, did you know?
An unemployment rate 3.7% at the start of Biden's fourth year in office was lower than every other president's in the last 50 years.
Wages and salaries have risen much faster under Biden than under Trump.
During Biden's first three years more U.S. manufacturing jobs created 791,000 manufacturing jobs created. That's more than Trump's first three years.
Biden, in his first three years, oversaw +3.4% G.D.P. growth.
Black unemployment dipped below 5 percent for the first time on record under Biden.
As for the stock market, the S&P 500 has reached an all-time high under Biden.

Curt,
I know that the economic numbers look good. I could not have cited the particulars. And, I'm surprised that Joe's approval for his handling of the economy is so low. (-16.9 RCP)
I can only guess that voters blame him for the cumulative inflation since he placed his hand on the Bible. And, there's his dismissal of citizens' pain in, falsely, claiming that inflation will be transitory.
Food prices are higher. Gas prices, too.
But, still, IMO, Joe's numbers should be better.
