Americans Are More Optimistic About The Economy Than They Have Been In Decades

As the 2020 election cycle hits full swing, and as the Democratic Party’s quest to topple President Donald Trump got off to a fairly catastrophic start earlier this week in Iowa, polling now indicates that Americans are more optimistic about the economy than they have been in decades.

“For the first time in its history, the Gallup ‘Mood of the Nation’ economic survey found that 59% of people believe that they are ‘better off,’ a trend that has soared under Trump,” Paul Bedard reported this morning for the Washington Examiner. “It is higher than when President Ronald Reagan made his economy a campaign rallying cry and better than the so-called dot-com bubble under President Bill Clinton.”
