Trump isn't getting more popular, but his policies are

Of the surveyed, 48 percent give tRump credit for the economy while only 41 give Obama credit. This is somewhat surprising to me. What has tRump done to improve the economy. He is merely riding the Obama's coattail and soaking up the credit. We probably need to improve our messaging to make sure Obama gets more of the credit.

better messaging to make sure obama gets credit?

ffs, he never got much credit in the media for 8 years of a steadily improving economy, the longest expansion in history, and the longest bull market in history.

the media isn't about to give him credit for it now.
