2 Out Of Three U.S. Voters Say Trump Economy Has Not Helped Them Personally

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T

A new Financial Times survey shows 2 out of 3 Americans say that either they are worse off in the Trump economy , or nothing has changed under his direction. 

The only group in the FT survey that reported they think they are better off financially since Trump took office are white men.

Among white women, almost as many say their financial situation has become worse under Trump as say it has become better. 

These results would seem to belie the Trumpian claim that the economy is the "greatest ever" .  At the most, only 1 in 3 Americans seem to believe that. At least as it effects themselves.

Americans who say they are financially better off under Donald Trump’s presidency are overwhelmingly white men, despite the president’s claims that “almost everyone” has felt the benefits of US economic growth since he took office. The sharp ethnic and gender differences over Mr Trump’s economic performance, revealed in a new poll of likely voters for the Financial Times and the Peter G Peterson Foundation, underscore the challenges facing the president as he seeks re-election and the uphill battle for Democrats in winning back the votes of white men who helped propel Mr Trump’s 2016 victory. The recent caucuses in Iowa pointed to the importance Democrats have placed on peeling working-class whites from the president’s column.

Two days ago you brought us Trump stooges from off the street, presenting them in the light of honesty. How am I to believe that this random sampling is lucid enough to critique economic policy - or even understand the difference among tax withheld, tax owed, and refund?

Your comment is incomprehensible.  I'll check back later to see if you have said anything that makes any sense.

Trump's approval rating on the economy is the highest of any President since the early days of the Bush Presidency.

Your comment is bizarre. If the poll is accurate, Trump wont get re-elected. 

Your belief that people who dont have as much money as you are jealous of you is weird and self-serving. .

socialism is the result of jealousy. so yes they will be pissed.

people know the economy is better regardless of the dollar amount in personal financial gains.

the hope they will vote against that growth and against trump because other people experienced better financial gains?   that is bizarre my friend - truly bizarre.

That and the tidbit about the lady who couldn't take Trump separating the children from their parents.  And think about this.  The article didn't say anything about cages as I mistakenly said above, so I guess all these children came over by themselves.  Not likely.  Of course there was no writing on the originals with Jeb.

The date is not the date of the photo above, but the article date.  You have to ask yourselves, why did they have to use race and why did they have to put the crap in the article about the woman who couldn't vote for Trump now.  Media Bias Fact Check says these people are the least biased.  Can you believe that?  That has to be biased in itself.

Isn't FT Peterson - "A Socially Diverse Responsibility Group"  Based in London - and affiliated with Nikkei Inc - "Change for a better world" ?

I wonder how unbiased they really are. jrSmiley_26_smiley_image.gif

I find this entirely believable since nearly 44% of Americans already paid no net Federal Income Tax as of 2016. 

So a Federal Income Tax rebate would not have directly helped those folks in the least.

To quote the late, great Billy Preston:

"Nothing from nothing leaves nothing ..... "

My healthcare went up 21%    I get hammered in taxes on my first pay raise this year which should have been fairly good and it turned out to only be about 80 bucks more in my check.  Now I'm terrified how my 2nd scheduled raise is going to be raided because that one is more substantial. 

I make a good living but under this President I have not benefited.  I've gotten screwed.  Normally I wouldn't mind getting taxed to help those less fortunate but I'm probably paying for the top 1% and old as phuck trump supporters and their medicare/medicaid/SS subsidies.

I have said all along that my "tax break" was bullshit.

And someone I know that is a trump supporter and a business owner said the same thing.

Republicans were never going to "help them", any more than Trump was going to "help them". They have dropped the mask and are raiding the coffers, conning their base as usual and helping themselves to unbridled power, un-American power, and corrupt power.

What I got from the Trump tax break.

I got a $5.00 US raise in income during 2019. and got 130.00 US less in Fed return than 2018 Fed, and 20.00 US less in State return.

Yeppers....Trump's tax break sure has helped the middle class and Seniors. /s

No.  The Trump Economy is a mirage.  US economy is currently experiencing an eleven year growth rate.  Trump is riding that wave.  Unfortunately, it will also be Trump that brings it to an end.  Every business or enterprise he had a hand in has failed.  For the past decade and a half at least Trump and Trump businesses have been floated with outside cash from sources which have not yet been determined.  Public debt is increasing quickly.  Private debt has reached levels not seen since the 1920s.  Cities and states are strapped for cash, being forced to raise revenues through taxes, fees and service cuts.  Trump's economy, like everything else he touches is a Ponzi Scheme.

This too.  The Stock Market has attained historic highs.  A closer look at that should make people and investors to wonder this----Based on What?
