He's giving himself straight A's on economic performance—literally A+++++. Yet the polling numbers tell a different story entirely.
When you look at voter feedback, it breaks down pretty starkly. About 22% of voters are on the same page, handing out A grades for economic management. Fair enough—there's always a base that agrees with any given position.
But here's where it gets interesting: 36% of voters are going the opposite direction, marking the economy with an F. That's more than one-third of the electorate seeing things very differently.
So you've got this wild disconnect between the self-assessment and what people are actually feeling about their wallets and the broader economy. The gap between those two perspectives—the A++++ versus the F—says something about how polarized views on economic policy have become.
It raises the usual questions: Is this about how economic data gets interpreted? Whose data gets highlighted? Or is it just the natural divide when people experience the same economy in completely different ways depending on their circumstances?
Either way, this kind of economic sentiment split tends to ripple through markets and investor confidence. Worth watching.

Giving myself an A++++, while others give an F—what a difference... hilarious, data speaks for itself.

Self-rated A+++++, public rated F... The gap is really a joke; reality and self-perception are completely two different things.

Giving myself an A+++++ while reality scores an F—what an outrageous gap... just a self-indulgent economist.

Haha, giving yourself an A+++ is really something, but it's outrageous that 36% of people give an F. No one can really say how this economy is doing.
