Despite positive economic indicators, many Americans perceive the economy negatively, driven by partisanship and disinformation. A recent poll shows that less than half of respondents accurately answered questions about the economy. Democrats suggest focusing on policies that led to economic improvement, but rising prices contribute to negative perceptions. In Texas, despite better economic performance, people feel worse off. The disaggregated news environment and foreign disinformation campaigns contribute to misperceptions. Both parties have failed to effectively communicate the benefits of trade, leading to acceptance of protectionism. The 2024 election presents an opportunity for a new inclusive and equitable public bargain on trade. #Economy #Partisanship #Disinformation #TradePolicy...
