More bad news for Republicans as the latest NBC News/WSJ poll revealed that a plurality of Americans gave President Obama credit for improving the economy.
Via NBC News:
Additionally, 49 percent believe the economy has improved during Obamas presidency, and they give him credit for it, while another 15 percent acknowledge that its improved but dont give the president credit.
Just 36 percent of voters say the economy hasnt improved during Obamas presidency.
The 36% who suggest that the economy didnt improve under President Obama is right in line with the standard percentage that makes up the hardcore Obama-hating base of the Republican Party that can be found in nearly every poll.
The 13 point margin between those who give Obama credit and those who dont closely mirrors the 12 point lead that Hillary Clinton has enjoyed over Donald Trump in recent polling.
President Obamas importance cant be overstated in this campaign. Obama is a popular president. His approval rating is remaining above 50% for the third straight month. Obama can appeal to appeal to Independents and the Democratic coalition that powered him to victory in two presidential elections.

I've been saying this for a couple years. Wage growth has easily been outpacing inflation for years.

Comcast/NBC/CNBC and those POS's at Fake Business News as well as Bloomberg have been all in with the false Narrative that Mr. Obama was killing the Economy and that Unemployment numbers were phony.
Well well,now that their Pal Trump is in deep do do,it is face saving time.
