Poll: More Americans credit Obama than Trump for economy

Thanks Bush for destroying the stock market so I could make a massive profit under Obama.

According to the article footnotes, only 23% of those polled were Republicans.

Gee, I wonder if that had anything to do with the outcome?

2% chance of winning

Hhhmmm

They could only get 50% of Obama voters to credit him using a skewed poll. Damn

1. Go look at the # of people polled based on political identity, it’s always like 49%Dem, 28%GOP, 23%Independent.
2. Do that survey again in a month after people get more money in 2 of their paychecks in a row...

Didn’t republicans credit Reagan after his tax cut plan wasn’t realized until after his term was finished?

I’m a Trump supporter but this has always puzzled me.

1) Polling has become totally mendacious on all sides. It is always a political act, and never truly representative of opinion.

2). People are stupid. More ignorant and blindly partisan now than ever.

3) Factors that contribute to the relative health of an economy are vast. Only a few of them have anything to do with the actions of the POTUS.

4) Having said that, there are numerous actions taken by Obama that almost certainly created uncertainty and/or strain on the economy, including Obamacare, energy policy,, corporate tax policy, immigration policy, and a whole assortment of added regulations.

Trump’s modest changes and reversals on these policies undoubtedly helped promote economic growth. Anyone who argues against that is a dem-bot dolt.

Having said that, the principled Dem position should be that there could be/will be societal problems created by these changes: income disparity, run away capitalism, harsh effects on workers and the environment, growth of national debt, etc. Those effects are yet to be observed, if they ever come, but arguing that pro-business policies didn’t help the economy is just being obtuse.

The truth is that Obama inherited a really shitty economy and growth and improvement was steady over his 8 year term, so Trump had a rolling start. Deregulation has added heat to the current economy as well as the tax cut for corporations. The economy is very hot at present. The lingering question is if it can be sustained or even worse, if there is another looming recession due to several factors.

You would have to be an idiot to credit Obama for the economy’s recent success.

Most of these geniuses don’t realize how all the Obama era regulations were strangling the economy!
