With the unemployment rate still among 18-year lows and the Dow Jones Industrial Average still among all-time highs, voters are slowly giving President Trump more credit than President Obama for the improving economy, though there remains a stark partisan divide. Voters agree, though, that impeaching Trump would be a detriment to the nation’s economy.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters now believe the improving economy is due more to Trump than Obama, while 40% think it is more the result of the policies Obama put in place before he left office.
>Fuming Yikes. Well, for what it's worth, Obama supporters also rage when you point out their cherry picking of numbers. At least you guys have one thing in common - you don't like to bring up the national debt or the billions of dollars going to countries like Israel.
We're not discussing unemployment figures you braindead fucktard.
This is about the percentage of people who credit trump/obama for the current economy. Are we too stupid to undertaker such a basic premise, or should I dumb it down for you a few dozen IQ points?
lol, look at the pathetic leftist desperately change the topic and pretend he doesnt know what we're talking about even though it's clear as day in the OP

>We're not discussing unemployment figures you braindead fucktard. Literally the first sentence: >With the unemployment rate still among 18-year lows and the Dow Jones Industrial Average still among all-time highs, voters are slowly giving President Trump more credit than President Obama for the improving economy
Whoops, looks like you're a retard and can only double-down on it hoping you'll come through the other side eventually.
>Literally the first sentence: You mean "Voters More Likely to Credit Trump for Economy Over Obama"
The rate is only referred to in order to frame the claim that there's an economic improvement. The poll and the data this thread is about (for those of us who can read) is about the opinions of Americans and who they credit the improvements to.
You have to grasp at the unemployment rate straw because you dont want to address the fact that they people are supporting Trump.
That's great, in what way is that related to the OP article?
Can you even explain that? Can you even tell me what OPs article is about? You seem to be avoiding it in order to point out that Trump didnt like the metric that obama used, which would still show that Trump is better.

>You mean "Voters More Likely to Credit Trump for Economy Over Obama" No, I meant the very first words in the sentence. Here, I'll quote it again since you're understandably having trouble. >With the unemployment rate still among 18-year lows You can't credit someone for something unless you have accurate information. The information the government released is no more accurate now than a few years ago when Trump was ranting about how inaccurate government numbers are, and thus can't be used as a gauge for growth. For what it's worth, your irrational behavior is completely normal. It's a feature of partisan politics. Pseudo-intellectual Reddit-spacing liberals tried to pull the same shit you're trying to pull, and It didn't work then and it won't work now.
>the first word in an article define its substance ahahahaha The article isnt about the unemployment rate you fucking retard, and yes, if you examine the UE rate with the same metric over time, as flawed as it is a low is still a low.
>The information the government released is no more accurate now than a few years ago Meaning it's consistent and can be compared apples to apples with obama's >Trump was ranting about how inaccurate government numbers are Right, but this article isnt about Trump or a claim he made, just people's opinions of him, which are positive apparently. >and thus can't be used as a gauge for growth Sure it can, but that's not the premise of the article.
>For what it's worth, your irrational behavior is completely normal. It's a feature of partisan politics. Pseudo-intellectual Reddit-spacing liberals tried to pull the same shit you're trying to pull, and It didn't work then and it won't work now. blahblahblah justification for you ignoring what is actually being said in the article and the information revealed in the polls.
Care to tell me how this article is about the real UE rate and not people's opinions on who gets credit? I'd love to see you show me how this is the case.

In short: the accuracy of the UE info was never the point or the claim of the article. Focusing on it only serves as a means of ignoring what the article DOES address.

>Meaning it's consistent and can be compared apples to apples with obama's Yup. Consistent in that people not looking for work are not factored in and Trump is just as dishonest about it. The poll starts with the presupposition that more people are unemployed now than under Obama, the results of the poll are proof that people are more easily fooled by Trump than Obama. >Right, but this article isnt about Trump or a claim he made, just people's opinions of him, which are positive apparently. Opinions based on the presupposition that unemployment has dropped, as proven by government numbers that Trump used to claim cannot be used as proof. >Sure it can, but that's not the premise of the article. No it can't, and yes it was. Literally the first sentence, brainlet. >justification for you ignoring what is actually being said in the article and the information revealed in the polls. All the poll proves is that the Trump administration is better at creating a false premise and using it to fool the American people. Congrats lol >Care to tell me how this article is about the real UE rate and not people's opinions on who gets credit? It's almost as if context matters. The context in this case is Trump flaunting numbers he criticized Obama for flaunting and now refusing to mention that it doesn't factor in people not looking for work, which Trump used to rant about constantly.
What would the results be if Trump was honest and gave the American people accurate information like he did was Obama was in charge? We don't know because he's not and doesn't.
>The fact that the poll started with a false premise and the results of the poll are based on the American people receiving inaccurate information from Trump's government doesn't matter. It only matters when a Democrat is president. Proof that partisan politics causes brain damage
