Trump's presidency isn't all bad, even in the eyes of democrats. New polling shows that the approval rating of the U.S. economy has risen by 20% since trump was elected, and now sits at a higher rating than any point since before the 9/11 terror attacks. While this seems like it would be good news for trump, it seems to be quite the opposite. The president's approval rating is at a all-time low of 36%. This gap has left man political experts wondering at how much of a factor the economy will play into the re-election of Trump in 2020, as one of his main platforms that he ran on was that of a cool-headed businessman who would put "America first". And as much as that phrase has been used in as many contexts, (such as an example of both negativism and secularism) Trump has delivered on his promise to bolster the U.S. economy, fact that has been largely neglected by many popular media outlets. So while many see Trump as all bad, (and he does have some unacceptable beliefs that will not be discussed or form an part of my statements) he does seem to be doing some good, pushing the stock market up and unemployment down, and many economists see that he could be the first president in years to break the your percent threshold, the so far unbreakable 4% unemployed. Obama left office at an astounding 4.85 unemployed, and the trend has continued into trump's presidency. Whether or not the trends will continue remains to be seen, and Trump has yet to impact the average wages, a statistic that even Obama had a difficult time affecting. This economic growth gives some hope, even in the shadow of many other darker parts of the culture of the current presidency.
