Biden and Trump ask voters if they’re ‘better off’ than they were 4 years ago. It’s complicated
bostonherald.com/2024/03/21/biden-and-trump-ask-voters-if-theyre-better-off-than-they-were-4-years-ago-its-complicated/
Quick Glance: Biden Contrasts Himself with Trump Through 'Are You Better Off Today' Question
- President Joe Biden used the 'are you better off today than you were four years ago' question as a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump, reminding voters of the challenges during Trump's term.
- Biden also criticized Trump for his 'bloodbath' comment, emphasizing the need to reject political violence. He redirected the narrative by focusing on the 'better off' theme and highlighted the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S.
- Furthermore, Biden underscored the progress made since Trump's presidency, including COVID-19 control, the return of 15 million jobs, and stock market recovery. Biden's campaign sees a resurgence of interest in a Biden-Trump rematch among voters.
- The article also mentions Biden's comments on U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and his support for Rep. Colin Allred, positioning Cruz as an ally of Trump. Biden conveyed the message that the focus should be on Trump's intentions and actions, rather than on himself.

Quick Glance: Seattle Emerges as Least-Religious Hub in the U.S.
- Americans have witnessed a decline in religious adherence over recent decades, with attendance at religious services dwindling nationwide. Recent survey findings point to Seattle standing out as one of the least religious areas in the country.

- The survey data is derived from the ongoing Household Pulse Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. A novel addition to the survey, the inquiry into religious service attendance was executed from early January to early February, with a comprehensive national sample of approximately 68,500 respondents.
- When compared to the nation's 15 largest metropolitan regions, Seattle emerges as the least religious locale, narrowly surpassing San Francisco. In Seattle, 63% of residents never or rarely attend religious services, placing it at the forefront of this trend, followed by Boston at 56%.
