Despite continued economic growth, the president's politically branded \"Bidenomics\" pitch has largely fallen flat on the campaign trail, according to the polls.

Rising prices, even if they are rising more slowly than in 2021 and 2022, still seem to weigh on the minds of voters. (Officials like Fed Chair Jerome Powell have said that to truly decrease prices would mean having a broad recession -- which creates other problems.)

A late-January NBC News poll showed that just 33% of registered voters said Biden would do a better job than rival Donald Trump handling the economy, while 55% of respondents said Trump would be better than Biden.

Small business owner Arick Davis, owner of the Last Mile Cafe in Grand Rapids, said he's still reeling from the impact of inflation.

With many of his customers pinching pennies and shopping less, the financial toll has affected his bottom line, he said. He's had to dip into his savings to keep his business afloat.

\"There's definitely been a lot of sacrifices in this period to turn this into the place that we want it to be,\" Davis told ABC News.

Like Johnson, he said that he isn't experiencing the lower rates of inflation that are making headlines.

\"If inflation is going down, that's great, but I have not seen any of my bills get cheaper. It does not feel like it's gotten better. It does not feel like access to capital has improved,\" he said, adding that he wants to see more solutions for helping small businesses and reducing overall spending.

Davis voted for Biden in 2020 and said he plans to do so again in the 2024 election. And while he cannot see himself voting for Trump, he wishes there were other viable candidates to choose from.

\"I do not think Joe Biden should be the nominee for the Democrats,\" Davis said. \"There was a time where [Biden] presented himself as the best candidate, but I think that there are a plethora of people out there who probably would do a better job at the job.\"
