On Friday, the Labor Department reported that American unemployment has reached a record low of 3.7%. However, according to a Gallup poll conducted in September, only 12% of Americans view the economy as “most important.” The poll also shows that 82% of Americans are more concerned with healthcare, immigration, and the government.
The Economy and Politics
Over the past few weeks, talks regarding the economy have increased. Many of these conversations pertain to Republicans and the upcoming midterm elections. Moreover, individuals across the nation seem to have different ideas about how much the current state of the economy will help GOP midterm candidates. Some commentators advised Republicans to focus on economic gains. However, others, like Wilson, have warned that economic growth is not enough to win over voters.
Many right-leaning Americans have lauded President Trump for the current state of the economy. Conversely, other individuals have expressed displeasure regarding certain occurrences in this country. Immigration reform and the possible confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh are prime examples.
