I've never counted on anything less than I am right now in regard to the welfare -- the existence -- of my country as a democracy. But if there is anything that will sway voters who still, inexplicably, remain in the grey area of the so called undecided, it is the economy.
Yes. People know when they are happy. The ACA was so important but it didn't register on most people's happiness meter. It doesn't until someone who didn't have insurance because they couldn't afford it or qualify for Medicaid reluctantly signed up for it and then ended up in the hospital and had their life saved. The Biden Plan(s) will make a lot of people very, very happy and it is going to register on the happiness meter in 2022...already has and it's barely begun.
David, I'm talking right now about a contrast, a contrast from this past year plus. But this administration also aspires to more. However, being able to pay their bills is a lot for many people, before and since the pandemic.
People will notice if they can put food on the table and pay their rent/mortgage.
Don't count on it

But will they associate it with Washington? Same with the ACA, many people did not know it is Obama-Care.
I think the economy is different. I don't want to quote James Carville, but I bet you know the line I'm thinking of.

Exactly. The economy is a different animal.
You are correct. It will be slow to show in the press and polls because. Outrage and anger sell. But it will happen.
True, but most people aspire to more than that, at least in the US.
