It’s been six months since the GOP tax cuts went into effect and the good news keeps coming! A new CNBC poll released today finds that the majority of Americans approve of President Trump’s handling of the economy.
The survey found that 54% of the public approves of the Trump economy, the highest approval level recorded in the survey’s ten-year history. For the first time, the number of Americans reporting the economy as “excellent” has surpassed the percent calling it “poor.” After months of shining jobs reports and record low unemployment levels, it’s no surprise that the majority of Americans are enthusiastic about the economy, and that’s bad news for Senate Democrats.
Heading into the midterm elections, red state Democrats will be forced to explain to voters back home why they opposed President Trump’s economic agenda and voted against the GOP tax cuts. A thriving economy helps everyone from middle-class families to small business owners – and folks across the country will know Democrats didn’t stand with them when it mattered most.
