But none of these explanations is fully satisfying. The turn against Democrats wasn’t limited to parents, or Virginia, or white women. Compared with the 2020 election, support for Democrats decayed across states, genders, ethnicities, and counties. Democrats lost because of something bigger than any demographic or issue. They lost a vibes war. Despite many positive economic trends, Americans are feeling rotten about the state of things—and, understandably, they’re blaming the party in power.
......If 2021 was the year of negative shocks—Delta, labor shortages, supply-chain madness, and general shopping woes—2022 could be the year of pleasant surprises, when the economy’s statistical recovery becomes a bona fide vibes recovery.

Does "vibes" here mean "a general emotional feeling"?
 
I would understand it that way.
