"The paycheck power index indicates that during the Biden/Harris years, typical US paychecks grew only 17%, while consumer prices surged 21%, indicating a significant decline in purchasing power."
"This yardstick, like the presidential election, incorporates a hint of small-state favoritism by weighting results based on a state's electoral college votes, which ultimately played a role in determining the election outcomes."
"Despite an average 4.2% unemployment rate during Biden's presidency being lower than Trump's 4.8%, the 21% rise in consumer prices had a more significant impact on voters' perceptions of economic stability."
"Ultimately, the decline in the paycheck power index during Biden/Harris years, a 4% drop after a 5% gain under Trump, was pivotal for voters, as economic concerns drove one-third of voters to prioritize the economy, favoring Trump's candidacy."
