Title: Americans say the economy is in good shape
Post by: chuck_curtis on 03 21, 19, 03:01:02:PM
A sizable majority of Americans say that that economy under the Trump administration is flourishing, according to a new CNN poll (pdf) conducted by SSRS, an independent research company. At the same time, President Donald Trump’s approval rating shot up.

The polling data, released on March 18, revealed that 71 percent overall think that the country’s economy is in good shape, the highest number since February 2001 and the best rating Trump has received during his presidency—by two points. On the same question, 26 percent said they thought the economy was “very good.”

Another majority, 51 percent, approved of the way Trump has handled the nation’s economy. In the new poll, the president’s approval rating ticked up to 42 percent. The percentage who disapprove of Trump’s job performance was at the lowest number since CNN has polled his presidency. Meanwhile, a daily presidential tracking poll by Rasmussen—the most accurate poll in predicting the 2016 presidential election results—showed that 47 percent of likely U.S. voters approved of Trump’s job performance as of March 19.

Other sections were more partisan. When asked to compare their current financial situation to three years ago, 65 percent of Republicans reported an improved financial situation while 19 percent of Democrats said the same.

A different poll earlier this month showed Trump’s handling of the economy reached the highest point of approval in his presidency, according to a Gallup poll published on March 5.

Polling data revealed that 56 percent of Americans approve of how the president is handling the economy, marking a new high for Trump by Gallup. The percentage was also the highest number out of all the 14 domestic and foreign issues tested in the latest Gallup poll. Not far behind was Trump’s handling of unemployment, where he gained an approval rating of 54 percent.

Gallup pollsters noted that Trump’s overall rating “appears to be stabilizing at a higher level than it had been in late 2018 and early 2019.” Trump wrote in a March 19 Twitter post that “We now have the best Economy in the World, the envy of all.”

For the moment, but not so much next year.  Fed says inflation is coming back.

They could be right, have you seen gas prices lately?  Veggies will get expensive too!
