And for reference, here is a comparison of the GDP Now's early forecasts to the official GDP figures.

Yes it was. And the trend comparing 2017 quarters to the same quarter in 2016 showed a promising trend. Although 2017 was lower than the 2.6% and 2.9% growth we had in 2014 and 2015.

It's not a gotcha. Those are facts, although Q4 is still subject to revisions so the Q4 and 2017 estimates may change. Regardless, the data shows that GDPNow's early forecasts overestimated growth by a significant amount every quarter of 2017.

And here I thought a stats guy like you would appreciate a little more data.

hey guys, regardless of this research group's forecast for 1Q2018, Trump remains firmly planted in the "failed to reach 3% annual" club with yall's boy Obama

Probably talking about his own absence from the discussion regarding the BEA's estimates last week. For a stats guy, he seems to really value an inaccurate forecast but not the official data, so long as it fits his view.

i've already taken a mountain of shite from you fanboys just for pointing out -consistently correctly to date- that y'all keep falling for hype and promising a boom that is way oversold.

maybe i'm seeing the writing on the wall pretty well and y'all just don't like it

Based on the average forecast of economists, they are expecting 2018 to have about 2.7% growth in 2018. 3% is clearly possible, but I don't think it's a realistic to argue that 3% is essentially a given over the next few years of his term, especially sitting with the 2.3% in 2017.

i actually think low 3's is quite attainable this year

sustained 3's because of anything this administration has done, let alone 4's? hell no

Are you referring to me because I don't know what bias objective and official data can confirm?
