June 2018...
•President Trump’s tax cuts have revitalized the American economy, with 54 percent of Americans now rating the economy as good or excellent, the highest ever recorded by CNBC.
•Businesses are bringing money held overseas back to the United States. •In the first quarter of 2018, more than $300 billion was repatriated back to the United States, setting a new record high, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
•Optimism among employers has reached historic highs in the 6 months since the tax cuts. •Manufacturer optimism has reached its highest level in the 20-year history of the National Association of Manufacturers survey.
•Small business optimism stands at its second-highest level on record since the National Federation of Independent Business began its survey 45 years ago.
•The economy looks poised to continue its winning streak, with many economists expecting second quarter GDP growth to exceed 4 percent.
A WIN FOR AMERICAN WORKERS AND FAMILIES: American workers and families have seen some of the biggest benefits from President Trump’s tax cuts.
•Americans are seeing more money in their paychecks following President Trump’s cuts.
•More than 6 million American workers have received a bonus as a result of the tax cuts.
•In the first 3 months of 2018, nominal hourly compensation for workers grew at its fastest rate in at least a decade.
•Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe now is a good time to find a quality job, according to Gallup.
•The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.8 percent, matching the lowest level in nearly 50 years.
•Job openings reached a record high of 6.7 million in April 2018, topping the number of job seekers for the first time on record.
•Families are benefiting from lower utility bills, as 30 million Americans in at least 30 states have had their utility bills cut as a result of the tax cuts.
•American workers can expect to see even more gains moving forward, as employers plan to hire more workers and boost compensation according to recent surveys.
CRITICS’ PREDICTIONS FALL FLAT: The positive results of President Trump’s tax cuts are proving the alarmist opponents flat-out wrong.
•The dire predictions by critics of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act simply do not match up with the incredible results seen over the last 6 months.
•House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) referred to the bill to “Armageddon.”
•Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed, “what has been sold as a job creator and wage booster will, of course, do little of either.”
•The day after President Trump’s election, the liberal columnist and economist Paul Krugman said, “we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.”
July 2018
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly jobs report today, revealing that more than 200,000 jobs were added to the economy last month. Average hourly earnings for workers increased, as well.
Critics' pessimistic predictions about the U.S. economy under President Trump have not held up. Business fixed investment grew by 9.2 percent during the first quarter of 2018, while hourly compensation for private-sector workers grew at a 4 percent annual rate—the fastest pace in at least 12 years.
The President's tax cuts played a huge part. "Not only are American firms putting money back to work in the U.S., but foreign firms are as well," Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett said. Treasurer of the United States Jovita Carranza called tax cuts a "great, great return for the taxpayers."

Donald Trump Approval Rating Polls Show No Recovery For Underwater Numbers, State Polls Showing Decline
June 2018
https://www.inquisitr.com/4987565/donald-trump-approval-rating-states-recovery/
If all the Whitehouse.gov claims is true, how is it that Trump has the lowest polling in history?
Answer: He's a disaster and hated not only in the US, but globally.
The Left plans to continue the good economy that Trump INHERITED, restore affordable healthcare that the majority of Americans favor, and restore international order that Trump fucked up.

Well, they are telling the American voter that 4.1% GDP is bad and tax cuts are meaningless scraps.
They really needed the economy to crash, but it's not going to happen soon enough if it does. They needed the tax cuts to result in government receiving less tax revenue.

The left also made a lot of of plans last time around. Good luck. Hope you guys can make it an election season without calling white people racists every five minutes. Maybe you guys can make it without telling everyone how they don't understand their own interests. Maybe you can convince people a booming economy is a recession. Maybe you can keep doing the same things over and over again... That'll work.
Good luck, lefties. You are going to fucking need it. You are fun to watch when you whine so I'm stocking up on popcorn.

Evidently optimism, patriotism, encouragement to the middle class working community and restoring pride in America can do it.

Polling could be missing reality, again
The biggest “fake news” story of the last few years was that Donald Trump had almost no chance of being elected president. The entire pundit-polling-news establishment (including myself) was wrong, and the expectation was that these institutions would recalibrate their coverage to reflect a true picture of the country. They made an enormous miscalculation and they would, of course, make changes.
Almost two years later, very little has changed in polling and analysis at major institutions and news media. If anything, the polling has drifted even further from reality when you look at the questions being asked and, more importantly, the questions not being asked. You don’t need polls to see the America you live in. You need polls to understand the part of America you don’t know, don’t see, and don’t understand.
I believe that, in 2016, many of the national election polls were basically accurate, depicting a fairly close race, but the analysis of them was sophomoric, failing to understand the electoral college power of the unique coalition Trump amassed. His daily Midwest rallies were dismissed as curiosities of a desperate candidate with no real chance of winning. Boy, were they wrong.
This disconnect could be happening all over again. Take a look, for example, at the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll for July. It’s very professional and a generally accurate poll. Look at what it found this month: Trump’s approval rating edged up 1 point and his “strong approval” went up 3 points. His personal image improved several points. The congressional horserace closed 4 points in the direction of Republicans.
Yet, the rest of the poll documents how people want more immigration, want to continue the Robert Mueller investigation, see tariffs as increasing prices for consumers and, of course, that Trump was too friendly to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The headlines on NBC screamed negative clickbait, while the poll shows Trump and the Republicans advancing. The more intense support for Trump was attributed by one of the pollsters to Trump’s attacks on the press.
Notice a disconnect between the polls and the people? The questions focus on the anti-Trump storyline as though the point of the questions is to prove the validity of that coverage. Except for a single query about Trump’s performance on the economy, the rest of the questions are framed in ways that would lead any reader to believe everything the president does is wrong and opposed by the public. Some of it is. But not to the extent depicted. That’s the danger in polls that miss the full story.
Look at the questions on immigration. NBC asked if people think immigration helps or hurts the country and found that 56 percent think immigration is helpful. It also asked people to rate Trump in his “treatment of immigrants and their families” — a question I have never seen before — to capitalize on the separation of children, which we already know was overwhelming disapproved by 88 percent in a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.
But the questions ignore the heart of the issue: The battle is not over immigration per se but over illegal immigration. The public is quite sour on illegal immigration. Yet, you rarely if ever see a fair question on sanctuary city policies, which 84 percent oppose in the last Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. Or on chain migration or on immigration lotteries.
The real picture on immigration, especially in those areas of the country that have experienced lost jobs, is that many people believe illegal immigration reduced their wages. Despite compassion for those who are already here, most voters have low tolerance for continued illegal immigration, and most believe even legal immigration should be limited below current levels. Yet, none of those key points that depict two sides of this very emotional issue comes through in the questions asked.
Next, let’s look at the questions on tariffs. They find that most people don’t like tariffs and think they raise prices more than they help workers. But while pointing out that the prices people pay could be higher, the questions gloss over potential concentrated benefits to people in the most distressed areas of the country who have lost jobs in the last decade while coastal areas boomed. Nor do they ask if people think the tariffs are a good idea if used as a bargaining chip for better trade deals.
Rather than criticism of the press fueling the rise in the president’s base, it could be that his economic policies are targeted toward helping people in “old economy” states, as Trump promised in his campaign. Those people are his base, and their intense support grew last month. It’s certainly a more plausible theory than the one advanced.
Finally, the questions on Russia echo the idea that Trump’s actions were inappropriate and weak in Helsinki, and most people do believe they were. But the questions didn’t ask whether the president’s actions were “treasonous,” as former CIA director John Brennan said, nor do they ask whether people thought having better relations with Russia made sense as a way to push back against Iran and China. Consistently, the questions leave out the other side of the story or the extreme rhetoric that would be rejected, and focus on a few trodden talking points.
Maybe there is a blue wave coming. Or maybe it’s just another mirage. I tend to think there is blue edge. But with polling as one-sided as most of the polling in the mainstream media today, no one can know for sure. When the president takes an absolute pounding from Democrats, the media and even some anti-Russia, never-Trump Republicans, yet is still standing steady in the polls, it’s a stunning result.
It’s like Luke Skywalker in the last “Star Wars” film when they pound him with all their weapons. (Or, if you are on the other side, it’s like when the resistance throws everything at the Death Star and it remains unscathed.) When events like that happen, you need to reexamine your assumptions about what’s going on. These one-sided polls with slanted issue questions could once again easily miss the impact of 4 percent growth combined with more muscular trade and immigration policies. Unless the polls really reflect all the sides of the national debate on the issues before us, they will never reflect the nation they are supposed to capture.

"Restoring pride to America"
And THAT right there is at the crux of the difference.
Some want to run America down, change from her from a Constitutional Republic to Socialist, turn citizens into victims to be pitied, ignore laws, remove borders and all 'round be ashamed of ourselves as a nation.
Others? Don't.

Just trying to keep life simple, enjoying it, be grateful for I have AND don't have. Love my country. Love the "norms" coming back. Love my dog and good jazz. Love not having a bunch of new rules to master while walking on eggshells being politically correct or figure out which one of 32 genders I might be introduced to at a gathering, guess the wrong one and be arrested by the pc police. I love laughing at some of the outrageous stuff Trump says while embracing the good things he's actually doing. I love laughing at the left freaking out over an old billionaire's former sex life. I enjoy living life dangerously on the edge by hiding my contraband plastic straws. Simple stuff.

You can't hate Trump that much if you'd rather see him win so you can gloat.
Let's see, investigations up the ass with possible criminal charges, indictments and prison all over his staff, he's a national embarrassment and international buffoon, and he's been underwater in the polls since he was elected. Any idea how many seats are lost in the midterms when an administration is below 50%.
Other than that you're in real good shape to gloat and stick your tongue out like a baby after the midterms. :0)
