in March and April. So far, the U.S. has recovered less than half of the jobs that disappeared this spring.
Although the current recession is much deeper, Trump's economic approval rating continues to hover near 50%. He believes many Americans are still judging Trump by the economy as it was six months ago, before the coronavirus took hold here. Trump may also be getting a pass on the economy because Americans are more concerned with other problems, including race relations and especially the pandemic itself.
Because we have the shutdown from most 50 states, now we have the partial shutdown. Biden says he will shutdown America again to seal the COVID-19. So can you tell me what is the number of unemployments will be?
FaithTwenty20 When did NPR detach from reality? In ANY other timeline, the newspapers would have huge headlines screaming 'PANDEMIC RAGES, JOBLESS NUMBERS AT RECORD HIGHS, EVICTIONS LOOM, PRESIDENT HAD SEX WITH PORN STAR!' NPR helped normalize all that by reporting these things calmly.
1, the opinion of a pollster is completely irrelevant. 2, the extra unemployment money is the reason. This isn't rocket surgery here.
Does anyone follow the news from around the world? It doesn't matter what country it's bad for all over.
Widespread pain? We're at record unemployment and teetering on the edge of a Depression, NPR. People are being evicted and the government is so far offering nothing sustained to help them. Still doing trump's heavy lifting?
Once the virus is tamed (vaccine) GOP policies will allow the economy to take off; the socialist DEM party policies will hobble the US economy, no more growth, only Japan like stagnation for as far as can be seen! The middle class will evaporate!
Trumpers are so disillusioned, they cannot see that Trump is the devil reincarnate himself. Stock market is NOT the entire economy. Its just allowing investors earn more money. Nothing more. Average Joe who lost his job in March is most likely NOT an investor.
Maybe the polling is in error.
I bet this really triggers the liberal fake news media. Get ready for 4 more years.
Because people think the economy is the stock market.
GOP pollster 🙄
They are either drunk stoned or stupid. Ask Falwell about all three!
What country has a great economy during the pandemic? American voters aren't stupid...or are they?
Because there is little talk about all the un-employed and amazingly no percent number are announced by the government. Wonder why.
The hard sell is all the man knows, so he's gonna go with it no matter what the actual, factual situation is.
I live in Chesapeake and I’ve seen plenty of Biden paraphernalia around town and widespread disappointment and disgust in the President.
Too much adderall 😳
So again, living in the ‘glorious’ past, definitely NOT dealing with today’s reality. Denial, lies, obfuscation. Par for the course with trump.
The Donald: grabs credit for the good economy his first week in office; accepts no responsibility for the crashed economy in his fourth year in office
What is this BS?
Only thing saving a Godless philosophy of economics fed by the flames of the base passion of greed from falling on its rotten face is what Republicans falsely define as socialism. It's not socialism. At this point it is more like corporatist fascism, robbery of the U.S. Treasury.
Children can’t go to school - but principals still are getting high marks for handling education.
For who ? The billionaires
The Stock Market is not the Economy, +30 million on unemployment, trade deals gone awry, and many industries on verge of collapse. Yeah, he’s good on the economy? Compare to other developed countries it’s dismal.
The GOP is exploiting the memory of the economy before the pandemic, but conveniently failed to credit Obama for the economy Trump inherited.
Get your political & convention news from CSPAN Drop the filtering of the mainstream media NPR is the press corp for the DNC Democrats CultureOfDeath KKKlannedParenthood
The operant words are 'selling point.' Trump Used Car Emporium.
Probably because the alternative is talking about shutting down the economy again.
So, all of you call for shutting down the economy and then blame realDonaldTrump for crashing the economy? Are you that stupid?
It's not memory, its propped up. They have poured tons into this market. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.
Except the economy was on the downturn even before the pandemic
We are in chaos because of his poor leadership...still his cult follows
The funny part is that everywhere I go there are help wanted BILLBOARDS!
High marks for nothing, Trump’s influence started being felt around February this year.
Isn't he the one that pushed people back to work right when the pandemic was slowing ? Does he not get demerits for causing the reopening to fail?
NPR gets it wrong again. The current economic difficulties are not related to an endemic economic cause. Not all sectors are affected. This is why the market responds as it does.
DonnieDraftDodger realDonaldTrump has personally presided over the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression. All while allowing over 177,000 American's to die while he 'wished away' COVID-19 and didn't nothing to stop it. American can't afford 4 more years of Trump.
And what is sad is that Trump was destroying the economy he inherited with short-term boosts to the market with things like the tax cut for the rich. Makes the stock market look good but hurts long term economic growth.
GOP pollster, without bias. Humorous.
30 years of globalization hollowed out America + made us a supplicant nation. DJTis bringing manufacturing home,it's a long process that the Dems and Rep don't want . it just hit a speed bump that's going to accelerate things bc ppl r woke to🇨🇳
He inherited Obama's economy and then started tanking it B4 the pandemic hit. Everyone seems to forget that it was falling prior to the pandemic. Stock market does not = the economy.
401k's Thats the single reason I keep hearing from people. The economy is bigger than the average person realizes. Stock market should not be the only indicator for a strong economy.
What’s going on is that people understand the pandemic knee-capped the economy. And, that Trump has done everything possible to salvage as much as possible to set us up for the recovery.
Yes, he appeals to the greedy and glutenous. He always has and those will be the supporters that will circle the bowl with him and ride it all the way down.
Nah, you, the media promoted his lies about what has done to grow the economy. All he did was like he does all the time, inherit something significant and then take credit for it. He then in short time destroys it all, ex. Fred Trump inheritance then Barack Obama economy.
Defund NPR for being such fake news!
What a joke. Trump did nothing at all on the economy except cruise along with President Obama's recovery. Trump doesn't have the ability with money any more than he does with coronavirus: he's a talent-free loser.
People aren’t stupid. They know exactly why they are unemployed. Communist China lied about the virus, destroyed evidence, disappeared witnesses and released thousands of infected people worldwide, killing 100s of 1000s and shutting down the global economy.
Trump has had far better handling of economy then Biden. Fact
I wonder what those marks will be when the foreclosures and evictions start.
And yet Trump crashes the economy with mismanagement.. it’s not all about trade deals!
T_Rump is a LegendInHisOwnMind and those of his T_Rump Cult followers!!!
You mean the Obama Biden economy.
An economy that the Obama administration largely built, Trump inherited and true to form squandered with his criminal mishandling of the pandemic. Just like his casinos. Trump is looking for 4 more years of grifting amidst the chaos. AmericaOrTrump
Where is this information coming from? Polls are very bias and not indicative of what’s really going on. Obviously, the pollsters didn’t sample the 30M unemployed?
The rich get richer
The economy Will Continue to Grow Despite Domestic Terrorists Burning Our Nation.. Funded by Globalists Leftism.. Even When The Mafia Media Makes Them Transparent By not reporting Sick Events..example building with family trapped while burnt by rioters..NPR You Are an Ass bridled
Trumps followers are some of the most gullible people I know.
U r being disingenuous & u know it! This took ALL world leaders by surprise! It’s like someone getting sucker punched & then robbed, and you coming along accusing the guy 4 getting robbed! But we r in a great pl. considering! Be just in ur evaluation! Apples 2 apples....
