David Gergen : If Americans think Biden did a bad job on the economy, they should give similarly low grades to his co-pilot, Kamala Harris .

He says Biden 's misery index, after spiking at 12.6 in June 2022 , plummeted to 6.7 in August .

Gergen asks: Are voters only now realizing that the economy is actually in good shape? Or are we witnessing the death of a tired trope of election analysis?.

Voters are still saying the economy and inflation are top worries.

This makes little sense, but then, Americans don't always behave or vote the way they say they will.

In October 2022 , Democrats freaked out over a New York Times/Siena College poll showing that just a few months after Dobbs ruling, only 4 percent said abortion was the most important issue to them.

The next month , Democrats overperformed and the vaunted “red wave” never came to pass.
