Economy grows by 3.2% beating expectations !

[SAYIT]

Former leading economist and dedicated Trump hater Paul Krugman could not be reached for comment.
View attachment 257965

Wasn't Krugman the Nobel Prize winning economist who shortly after Shrillary's epic defeat at the hands of the political novice she outspent 3-1 predicted a global economic recession? One can only wonder if he put his investment dollars into gold for safekeeping in which cash he lost out on all the winning … BIGLY (Feb 2017 - $1,309/oz … Today - $1,282/oz).

Paul Krugman: The Economic Fallout
The economic fallout of a Donald Trump presidency will probably be severe and widespread enough to plunge the world into recession, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman warned in a New York Times opinion piece published early Wednesday...
"Now comes the mother of all adverse effects — and what it brings with it is a regime that will be ignorant of economic policy and hostile to any effort to make it work," Krugman wrote. "So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.

With this kind of booming economy, there is no way Trump loses in 2020, no matter how many times Left squeals "sexist, racist, blah blah blah..."

How does he manage that with 37% approval ratings?
Trump approval drops 3 points to 2019 low after release of Mueller report: Reuters/Ipsos poll - Reuters

/----/ You never cite Rassmussen - only a monthly poll of Reuters. Why is that?
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance.

Rasmussen is a flawed poll. They cannot call cellphones because they use robocalls. That means they can only call people who have landlines and those people tend to be Republicans. Also Rasmussen missed the midterm elections by a whopping 10 points.

/——-/ Your opinion is flawed. Here is the truth on how Rasmussen polls those without landlines:
Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Results are also compiled on a full-week basis and crosstabs for full-week results are available for Platinum Members.

Rasmussen clearly oversamples Republicans. They misfired badly in 2018. They had Republicans up by 1 and Democrats won the generic ballot by 8 points. That is a whopping 9 point miss. Everyone else got it right. The reason you support Rasmussen is because you like what they are saying and desperately want to believe it.

l polls undercount Republicans because they're often at work when pollsters call.

Rasmussen was the most accurate pollster in 2016, the last Presidential Election, but he also had Hillary winning.

They were the least accurate in 2018.

Yeah baby !!


US economy grows by 3.2% in the first quarter, topping expectations

• First-quarter gross domestic product expanded by 3.2%, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said in its initial read of the economy for that period.
• Economists polled by Dow Jones expected the U.S. economy increased by 2.5% in the first quarter.
• Gross domestic product for the first quarter was the best start to a year since 2015.

The U.S. economy grew at a faster pace than expected in the first quarter and posted its best growth to start a year in four years.

First-quarter gross domestic product expanded by 3.2%, the Bureau of Economic Analysis said Friday in its initial read of the economy for that period. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected growth of 2.5%. It was the first time since 2015 that first-quarter GDP topped 3%.

That is good but only about half of what trump said he was capable of.

Only if you accept a conman & fraud, liar, amoral POS as our leader.

Strange you should say that because clearly Democrats accepted and voted for the fraud, liar, conman amoral POS named Obama and were promoting Hillary who was just as bad....

Voters don't agree with you. During Trump's tenure, Obama's approvals have skyrocketed. Voters clearly prefer Obama to Trump.

/——/ Bid deal- all presidents’s approvals go up after they leave office

No they do not. Carter was a albatross around Democrats neck for many years.

And of course, sampling likely voters in a non-election approval rating poll is completely meaningless and does nothing other than to skew the results.

Which is exactly why rightards love Rasmussen.

People do not feel they have more money to spend. They oppose Trump's policies on taxes. They oppose Trump's policies on healthcare. They oppose Trump's policies on immigration. The world is more dangerous than ever and Trump wants to cut and run like Obama did. ISIS is hardly gone. The form they take may change and that is all. The unemployment rate was at a record low when Trump took office. You are the one who needs to deal with reality.

Even Bernie Sanders kept his tax cut, dweeb. Do you know anyone that face their tax cut back... Well 1st things 1st. Do you know anyone that pays taxes?

And the fact is that ISIS controls about 2% of the land mass Obama gave them

1. Voters recognize that the rich benefitted mightily from the tax cuts. The rich retained their tax breaks and got a new one which will benefit Trump mightily. The business tax cuts are being used for stock buybacks and dividends which benefit the rich mainly.

2. Trump is making the same mistake that Obama made. ISIS does not control land but that does not mean they are destroyed. Trump is prepared to abandon Syria just as Obama prematurely withdrew from Iraq.

Actually he's enjoying record high approvals of up to 51%, according to a few polls that got the 2016 election right, not the fake Leftist bullshit polls that not only got the election wrong but are now reporting more fake polls about Trump's low approvals.

You apparently have decided to live in a alternate universe. Trump is unpopular. Suburban voters and especially women and well educated voters have moved strongly to Democrats as we saw in 2018. Rasmussen missed the midterms by 10 points while the so-called bullshit leftist polls got it right. You are the one using fake polls.

2018 was actually a big Dem-flop and a blue wave that never actually came, considering Republicans held on to all the critical governors race and most importantly, increased their grasp of the senate. Highly unusual for what happens historically during midterms, and an epic fail by the Dems!

Latest House results confirm 2018 wasn't a blue wave. It was a blue tsunami. - CNNPolitics
Orange County is one of California's most reliably conservative areas; it's congressional districts have been red for generations. Trump turned every one blue, and that happened before Americans get to see his tax returns.

Never Underestimate Trump.

Orange County California? Ha ha ha. California is a solid blue state led by radical lunatics like Pelosi and newsome. The hilarious allegations you Leftards make!

Think for a second instead of copying and pasting propaganda, despite all the efforts and cash, the Dems couldn't convert Georgia and Florida governors races, and they actually lost seats in the senate. Who's to blame this time? Russians?

You need to do some thinking. In Georgia, Republicans had to resort to every dirty trick in the book to prevent people from voting. That included voter purges and even preventing older blacks form being bussed to a polling place. They also lost 1 suburban House seat and narrowly lost the other. In Florida, Republicans used signature matching to NOT count votes. Despite that, they won by only 30,000 votes despite the Democrat's legal issues. The Republicans gained fewer seats than expected. The 4 seats they gained were offset by 2 losses which included a loss in Arizona and a narrower than expected win in the Texas Senate race. They also picked up 2 of the 3 suburban Texas House seats that Clinton won in 2016.

Rasmussen was one of two polls that got the 2016 election right, dipweed.

Rasmussen got it wrong in 2018 dipweed. It is time to get out of the past. This is 2019 not 2016. We have actual votes and Rasmussen and the votes do not jive.

....You have to look at where they started and where they ended....

No I don't.

Sure, political hacks prefer to just look at the last month of the previous admin compared to the last of the failed one, that way they can ignore the other horrendous 47. The number just before the beginning always looks bad w/ a severe sense of foreboding, while month number 48 can look great in anticipation of an end to the war on business. So when the goal is just politics looking at just one month out of 47 makes it a lot easier to hide failed policies.

In my case where I'm working to feed my family, I have to care about what happens on everyone of those 48 months of a two term administration.

Thanks for demonstrating how handing a president the worst economic conditions in more than a generation can drag down their stats; while at the same time, handing a president the longest streak of job growth in U.S. history can boost their stats.

Wasn't necessary as anyone with a brain already knew that, but thanks just the same.
