If the CPI report had come out last week, I wonder how that would have affected the election.
Rs had been hammering the Ds on inflation when, as it turns out, it's yesterday's news.
I'm not saying that Biden cured inflation. Nor am I saying that inflation hasn't been a real problem. I'm just saying that the Rs won on exaggerated fears that just a few days later, we know were disinformation.
My guess is that if the public had this info last week, the election outcome would have been more favorable to the Dems. Enough to make a difference? Who knows?
