Poll: Trump Gains Minority Support from Growing Economy | Breitbart

Great to see! Like it or not President Trump has shown the GOP HOW to win national elections from now on.

It's amazing how few people can actually see the reality.

You take over a rising economy, then people think that the president is the one responsible for this.

Not just Trump supporters either, it happens all over the world.

In the EU every country, except Germany, saw a change of leadership after 2008. Left went to right, as if it were the left's fault. And right went to left, as if it were the right's fault.

it was Bush's fault. And yet the EU suffered because of it, and govt's changed as if they could have done something different about it.

The problem is that the economy isn't growing. I think the poll just illustrates the growing lack of understanding of economic theory and monetary policy among the electorate.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, I'm just saying.

In 7 years a lot of the middle class will likely be bumped into higher tax brackets because that so-called tax break was actually a tax increase. It's just gradual and its full effectwon;t happen for another 7 years. But it will happen.And we're still 21 trillion dollars in debt. And we're still kicking that can down the road. And we're still printing money. The stock market, that's nothing but bubble. That's illusioanry gain caused by inflation. And our dollar is worth about 4 cents. It'll get lower in value when the effect of the tax increase comes to fruition, too. And now we have more taxes in the form of more tariffs. Tariffs are taxes.

I'm sorry, but I have to politely disagree with the the sentiment of the poll.

The economy isn’t growing but GDP is up, stock market is up, real estate values are up, consumer confidence is up, unemployment is down.
What constitutes a growing economy?

The economy is growing.

Slowly. 2.2% growth for the first quarter. All this tariff foolishness could easily kill that.

Tariffs are an incredibly stupid idea.

But real GDP has grown 2.8% under Trump, and 2.2% in Obama’s last term. It is going to grow 3-4% this quarter.

LOL Trump and governor Walker just scored 13,000 jobs, a $10 billion dollar manufacturing plant, and $52 billion in revenue for the great citizens of Wisconsin. Trump is winning at a furious pace try to keep up. MAGA!

You missed your chance open border anti ICE democrats!!!!!
Lets see ya impeach him now suckers......

These Leftists are just phony-baloneys. We know, and they know, that GDP has a good chance at coming in at a crooked number...….meaning 5%. That hasn't happened since 2003!

Now I have posted all over this board what the chances of the LEFT doing ANYTHING in the midterms becomes if it comes in over 4%, or hits 5%, lol. But let me put it in terms that even LEFTISTS with a sign in their hand marching around can understand------------> You are screwed, so screwed, do not pass go, and do not collect 200 dollars!

We know you are getting MORE belligerent because it is all caving in on you LEFTISTS, lol. Guess what! Welcome to America, and welcome to reality. Everyone knew that if a Conservative economically got in the Presidency, you were screwed. Your nonsense about the economy was fostered, so your side could CONTROL it; to the detriment of jobs. You are now going to be exposed for what you really are, and if I was the REAL Democrats, I would be plotting in preparation, to regain control of a once proud party that has been hijacked by MARXISTS!

Last I read, that was only for this quarter not the next quarter.

I hope there is better growth in the future, but so far I'm not impressed. Especially when paired with increasing deficits. We should never increase deficits in a growing economy.

We shouldn’t be increasing the deficit during an expansion, which is what is happening.

But the economy is an expanding.

So there are a lot of things to not be happy about. There is still time of course, but I don't see anything great so far.

They spent 4 billion in tax dollars on a foreign company that will send it's profits back to China. WI won't break even for 25 years, will Foxconn still be in business in 10? Could be a huge waste of tax dollars.

Governor Walker said it will bring $52 billion to the state, sorry swing and a miss sour puss lib.

What our Liberal Friends don't realize, is that The Donald is no Dubya.

Donald J Trump's name was synonymous with Success long before he decided to serve the nation he loves as its President. He's got things under control to the max. He really could care less about the attacks of the Mule and other leftard busybodies, he's got a job to do and will do it.

Expect the name of our next Supreme Court Justice in a few days. The correct political move IMHO, is nominating Mike Lee. Young enough to serve 40 years, Lee would be our first Mormon SCOTUS judge and would help President Trump shore up support with our polygamous minority out west.

Wages have been rising about 3% after inflation.

And how long will that take? So you are for big government? You think we should pay off companies with tax dollars? Now that we are giving away billions, where will all these tax dollars come from?

The left have lost all credibility. They are trying to run the 2006-2008 playbook against Trump, constantly harping how horrible the economy is only Trump keeps scoring huge wins proving them liars.

The key question for the rest of the year, however, is whether the first half of the year’s major points of uncertainty become concrete changes to the macroeconomic environment in the second, and whether those changes will extend what’s already a historically long bull market, or bring it to a halt.

“We’re in the late stages of one of the longest bull markets in U.S. history, and this year’s volatility comes as investors wonder when and how it could end. Every potential threat is magnified,” said Chris Hyzy, chief investment officer for Bank of America Global Wealth & Investment Management.

Not sure where you have seen that. I'm seeing lower:
Companies Can't Hold the Line on U.S. Wages Much Longer

The April jobs report revealed that wage growth remains tepid, rising just 2.6 percent from a year earlier.

Using headline measures of the consumer price index, the news is even more disappointing, with average real wages up just 0.2 percent from a year ago. Real wage growth in this range would be well below productivity gains, which have averaged 1.3 percent the past four quarters, and inconsistent with the lowest unemployment rate since 2000. Nevertheless, I expect wages to rise in line with inflation, keeping growth in real wages in a 1 percent to 1.5 percent range. That’s anemic, but consistent with conditions just prior to the last recession.
