First Read: These numbers from our recent NBC/WSJ poll should be getting more attention: The percentage of Americans believing the economy will get worse in the next 12 months is at its highest point since 2013. Overall, 28% say the economy will get better in the next year, 33% think it will get worse and 37% believe it will stay the same.
Those numbers were essentially reversed last January: 35% said the economy would get better, 20% said it would get worse and 43% said it would stay the same.
Associated Press: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell again Monday, the latest dip in the roller coaster markets amid the strain of Trumps trade war, rising interest rates and worries about a slowing global economy.

This is ALL Trump's doing from here on out.

But it seems he's going flop just like he has so many times before.

a pattern has developed. We are seeing what is called a "dead cat " bounce every Tuesday with a sell off on Wednesday. And these gyrations only intensify the last week of the month.

because the dems are about to control the House. Cult 45 will believe that.
