The latest jobs figures confirm that the U.S. economy is surging toward what soon will be the longest expansion on record. So why hasn't Trump been able to translate that into political support?

“The moral obligation of our time is to rebuild the middle class. When the middle class does well, everyone does well,” former Vice President Joe Biden, the current Democratic front-runner,this week. Regardless of whom the Democrats nominate, the candidate likely will use some form of that argument.

The last recession ended in June 2009, making the current economic expansion close to 10 years old. In July, the economy will almost certainly break the record for the longest period of sustained growth in U.S. history. But no economic law requires economic expansions to die of old age. Some countries with smaller economies have gone decades without a recession.

Things looked bleaker a few months ago than they actually were because of the partial government shutdown, which lasted a record 35 days into late January. The shutdown deepened pessimism that had set in from December’s stock market woes.

😂😂😂😉😏👉🏿

Because media like you are always sweeping the truth under the rug and all of you instead put your dirty laundry out

But has prices keep going up for no reason---well we don't know why but bullshit.

Because he's a horrible racist?

Hmmm. Because the liberal media bashed him every day

Americans expect more than a strong economy from the President. I am worried that the next president may sacrifice the economy to appear moral. I'm not a socialist because I think all who work deserve healthcare nor am I a bigot because I want to control immigration.

Because the mainstream media, such as yourselves, refuse to report any positive news and spend 24/7 trashing him. Why is your circulation down?

Because people are unreasonable and delusional

Because he’s also a criminal

Trump has it. Your just asking the wrong people

With FakeNews like you no longer able to control the agenda for the emerging Obama Spygate Indictments The truth will be suppressed much less Nice try

Look in the mirror, therein lies your answer.

Because not everyone will sacrifice their soul for economic gain.

As a gay guy from Pittsburgh I voted for realDonaldTrump in 2016 and I plan to do so again in 2020.

POTUS is a awesome President the economy is booming which was stagnated under the Obama & Biden Administration! Even though the liberal news media which you are one, does not like it! His approval rating is growing & I see a republican Hurricane in 2020 VoteRed2020 VoteRed

Because liberals hate him and are blinded by their own evil?

POTUS is a awesome Presidentpresident the economy is booming which was stagnated under the Obama & Biden Administration! Even though the liberal news media which you are one, does not like it! His approval rating is growing & I see a republican Hurricane in 2020 VoteRed2020

he kows he's a crinimal and it's comming to light !

Because he is a nasty SOB

There are 2 reasons. 1people dont like his style; 2some people are better off than with Obama, but not better off than b4 greatrecession cc nytimes potus chicagotribune gma todayshow theview

Because the money is going to one side of the table, and he is ass-hole!

If the economy continues this trend, 2020 will be a wrap. Never thought that would ever happen.

Why? Because of the constant attacks from the leftist-infested news media, lib teachers contaminating classrooms, lib bureaucrats undermining the American way, that's way

He is not a leader. He is a small business owner that does not know how to build connections.

He has! for those that don’t listen to mainstream media anymore ! “You are FakeNews “

What's more important on Election Day, political support or the vote of the people? Approval rating at 56%. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

He has my support! I just started working, making good money. Thank you President Trump

If i sold all the copper piping out of my home i could have a long liquor party too. Until the cash runs out and im hungover in a ruined house.

The silent vote will make fools of you all once again because you cannot stop with the deceitful claims. Trump will win by a landslide in 2020.

Because the realDonaldTrump “economic expansion” is like a toddler on Red Bull. Artificially jacked up, and heading for a messy meltdown.

He is the GOAT

Because the jobs being created are low paying, with no benefits, so people aren’t feeling like there’s an economic boom. In many cities, even people making “good money” can’t afford the high rents, health insurance, etc. This economy is mostly great for those at the top.

Because they are jobs. You have to work and that makes people upset because all the cupcakes want everything free. We have a special van for all of you complaining about the POTUS. Trump will be President in 2020. Don’t like it leave the country or take a ride in the van.

Because it's not his accomplishment? Oh, plus he's crazy and talks about everything else under the sun. Those are two good places to start.

Will winning a second election in 2020 be considered “political support”?

Because his detractors are unhinged and insane

Because he's a dick, people! It's pretty simple!!!

depends on your news source i guess....

Because America doesn’t want a corrupt fascist leader.

Because of the partisan media sources like the LA Times

You haven’t been paying attention.

Seriously? With 95% negative coverage your going to blame him? You’re a disgrace and a joke.

He has. *spoiler

El Chapo created a massive empire, why hasn’t he been able to translate it into a positive image?

There's no doubt it's because MSM, utilized by liberal elitists as a propaganda machine, is not kind to Trump because he ruined the pathway for agenda 21 & possibly 30. Obama was very close, Hillary would have been completed destruction of U.S via economy. Trump2020 🇺🇸 FakeNews

Because of the media and insane democrats. Still, 51% aporoval is pretty dam good considering the 24/7 attacks

Maybe the LA Times reporting and OpEd writers have something to do with Trump's ratings. So many wrong reports and so much hyperbole. The President definitely has his faults but he has been falsely accused and attacked by the media. Correct your record.

Because of extreme negative reporting by MSM including LA T

That’s because socialists like the El Segundo Times tell lies .

Biased main stream media?

Thanx Obama.

Because all the money is going to the rich and everyone understands that.

Because Trump is a corrupt, destructive “leader” intent only on making himself rich with no thought of the legal or social framework he operates in. This is not a surprise for anyone who has done any reading of fact-based information on him.

Ummmm, I think he has. At least with the public. No one wants to speak out because your lot will destroy them in the media.

too many Americans have morals

... because tRump is an inept traitor. ✅

Because it is not due to anything he has done...

Because it’s Obama’s polices that are responsible for it.

Maybe the fact that the top 1% have an invome greater than the bottom 50% combined and therefore stock values dont mean a damn thing to the average citizen's life?

' So why hasn't Trump been able to translate that into political support?' Because of our national mainstream media's success in keeping the information out of the hands of the broad electorate. Instead - they've focused on crap like this:

Really LA Crimes? What opinion are you trying to turn into a fact now? MediaBias

Minimum wages jobs are not the sign of a surging economy, teachers and hospital staff working 2 or 3 jobs are not a sign of health. Voters don't believe press lies

Because it's not true. I have seen layoffs and false jobs announcements all around me. Lots of exploration.

Because he is a CRIMINAL!

Because are coming at the expense of quality of life. Met 3 people at my pizza who all just got off their 8 hr day job to come and serve me za. That’s wrong.

Because he sucks

You guys need to get out of SoCal more often...

He is not modi

Mainly because Trump hasn’t has anything to do with it. It’s a straight line continuation of the Obama economy. Trump has succeeded in killing jobs in solar energy (35k), international tourism (125k) and the manufacturing of products with steel and aluminum due to his tariffs.

Because all the major papers and news outlets are run by leftist kooks who bash him nonstop.

I don't like Trump. So it pains me to say that if the economy is strong going into elections, I think he'll win a second term.

Because the jobs don’t pay anything.

So why hasn't Trump been able to translate that into political support?. Let me help you understand it.. His support is working their asses off .. Thank you President Trump. All of us working in this thriving economy will be at the poles for you in 2020.

I can’t quite put my finger on it...🧐

Living wages are disappearing.

Because of media like this left wing rag. Don’t worry he will win by a landslide in 2020. No one wants radical socialist democrats.

The losers will always be losers and always vote Democrat. TRUMP 2020

Not to be a conspiracy theorist but have the numbers been verified? Genuine question.

He’s not that intelligent. Only crafty

Because of the hateful media that does not report real news, spreads lies and fake news! They also only report what the far left liberal Democrats say! Look at your own paper!!

Because it’s not close to election time...

Easy, he isn't responsible!

Fake News They are out to get him and spread lies.

How many complementary articles has this newspaper written about POTUS ?

Maybe because fools like LAT have been screaming “Putin’s puppet” for three years?

The vast majority of the gain was under OBAMA, and only after Obama stopped the SECOND REPUBLICAN GREAT DEPRESSION in its tracks.

Because he’s s douche bag for a human being! At least that’s how he’s perceived based on his rhetoric and perception is reality.

Because he’s a lying, corrupt, narcissistic, incompetent, cruel plutocrat?

Because the media refuses to publish it. Publications like yours just bury it and never give his policies credit for improving the economy and job market. If Obama had turned in these numbers your paper would of nominated him for the super hero award.

Because of the fake news media like yourself reporting a fake Russia collusion story for the last 2 years.

Because we can't back all the other stuff he does.

Bully’s don’t belong in the WH

Because his supporters aren’t big on Twitter?

Because most Americans also have integrity.

Is this a rhetorical question? 🤨

He has tons of political support. That’s why you keep writing hit pieces.

Is there any data on type of jobs with full time and part time or lower wage jobs? Seems a lot of companies are doing more part time or hours just under 40 to not pay benefits

Maybe because he’ll only be “responsible” for 3 of the record 10 years🤷🏾‍♂️

Because the boat was already in the water , he just stepped into an already rising tide ,,, one can only wonder if he had inherited what 44 had to deal with ,,, probably like most of his (45) misadventures , jump ship and run 🏃🏃

You know why!

More people vote with their wallets than would ever publicly acknowledge..... talk is one thing, but when it comes to suburbanites and their 401ks, gains often translate to votes in the voting both, regardless of what their social media may say.

We'll find out in November 2020.

Prolly cuz he's not a good person

See: Trump’s every waking moment, statement and action.

Duh!!!

Because it doesn't have anything to do with him?

Because he didn’t create it, he inherited it.
