Do you ever post anything that disagrees with your stance?

Few more quotes from the article, likely, no one will bother to read.
I think the poll speaks to the understanding, on both sides, that fiscal conservatism can help bolster the economy, especially after all the spending Obama did, but at the same time, they feel trump is an overall poor president besides this aspect. This derived from his low approval ratings and how people feel the country is not on the right track. Overall, interesting poll even if it is limited data.
quote:
The survey found that 61 percent view the economy as strong, against 39 percent who say it is weak.
quote:
A plurality, 42 percent, said they believe the economy is on the right track, versus 39 percent who said it is on the wrong track.
quote:
Among Republicans surveyed in the Harvard-Harris poll, 60 percent are satisfied with the economic trajectory, versus 23 percent who are dissatisfied. Only 33 percent of Democrats said the economy is on the right track, while 48 percent said it is headed in the wrong direction.
At 65 percent, Trump voters are the likeliest to say the economy is headed in the right direction.
quote:
Still, only 27 percent of Americans said their personal financial situation is improving. Twenty-five percent said things are getting worse for them, and 38 percent said they’re doing just as well as before.
quote:
The economy aside, Americans have a far more pessimistic view of the nation’s trajectory as a whole, with only 34 percent saying the country is on the right track, against 52 percent who say things are headed in the wrong direction.

The online survey of 2,148 registered voters was conducted between Feb. 11 and Feb. 13. The partisan breakdown is 39 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican, 27 percent independent and five percent other.

Right, he's talking about trump...trump apologists and obamabots share many of the same traits including a lack of self-awareness.

He's pushing an agenda. It amazes me how people can read an article and literally not comprehend what it said because their mind was made up before reading it.

Well that point went over your head. To be expected though.
And you didn't read the link

Exactly. Talk about spinning an article. You could have just as easily said 52% of the country believes we're on "the wrong track."

Too bad the poll doesn't even say his approval rating is in the 60s. OP just has reading comprehension issues.

But MSM said the world would end if Trump won? Were they wrong? Did they apologize? Still waiting.

Are you saying the OP article has no bearing on reality, or are you just blabbering?

A strong majority of Americans say the U.S. economy is running strong, and most believe the upward trend will continue under President Trump, according to a Harvard-Harris poll provided exclusively to The Hill.
The survey found that 61 percent view the economy as strong, against 39 percent who say it is weak.
A plurality, 42 percent, said they believe the economy is on the right track, versus 39 percent who said it is on the wrong track.
Trump and congressional Republicans have claimed credit for the turnaround, noting numerous polls in 2016 that showed that many Americans wanted change in the nation's capital. Democrats counter that former President Obama handed a healthy economy to Trump and point out that the unemployment rate has dropped under 5 percent. At a press conference on Thursday, Trump said he inherited "a mess."

That's a really dumb question.

Almost 3 trillion dollars of wealth has been added to the stock market since Trump was elected in November. I don't need a poll to tell me which way the wind is blowing.
