It’s time for a change. Not in presidents but in the incumbent’s economic message. There are less than five months left until Election Day, and the first presidential debate is June 27. There’s still time for President Biden to hone a new economic theme on the road in the battleground states before the great debate.

Biden’s approval rating for handling the economy is the biggest obstacle he faces on the way to a second term. That’s the reason the president finds himself in a closely contested race against a convicted felon who nearly destroyed the economy and democracy while he was in the White House.

A new national poll for The Economist indicates that barely over a third of the voters and only a quarter of independent voters approve of President Biden's handling of jobs and the economy. That’s after he’s created more than 15 million jobs during his presidency. Are Americans ingrates? No. Does the Biden campaign need to do a better job of selling his economic messages? Yes.

He has moved mountains to turn the economy around after it went belly up during the failed Donald Trump presidency. But voters still suffer while Biden’s message team lurched from “Build Back Better” to “Bidenonmics” without much........
