More voters credit President Trump than former President Obama for the current state of the economy, according to a new poll.
The Harris Poll, conducted with Harvard University’s Center for American Political Studies, found that 47 percent of respondents said they believe President Trump is responsible for the current economy, compared to 21 percent who said they believe Obama is responsible.
Among those surveyed, 15 percent said they think Republicans in Congress are responsible for the state of the economy, versus 10 percent who said the same of Democrats in Congress.
Trump has frequently touted the success of the stock market during his presidency as evidence of his administration’s influence on the economy.
“The Economy is soooo good, perhaps the best in our country’s history (remember, it’s the economy stupid!),” he tweeted last month.
The stock market this week, however, experienced a massive drop, wiping out the entirety of its gains in 2018. Republicans have sought to wield the state of the booming economy in the run up to November's election, but economists warn the stock market may not bounce back. Trump has remained silent about the stock market since the drop.
The Harris Poll was conducted online between Oct. 26-28 and surveyed 1,835 registered voters. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
The booming economy was created by the Economy Fairy’s magic wand
Obama asked the Economy Fairy if he could use her magic wand, but the Economy Fairy is racist and told him no.
President Obama begged the fairy to reconsider her decision on the basis of professional courtesy, but the Economy Fairy would not relent
When Donal Trump was elected President, he asked the Economy Fairy if he could borrow her magic wand. The Economy Fairy was swayed by Donald Trump’s charm and intimidated by his white privilege so she lent him her magic wand and we all lived happily ever after.
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but morality was lacking throughout the Obama presidency so what does it matter anymore
After the 8 years of the unbelievable fairy tales we were told by Obama’ and his media enablers, this one should be easy to believe in

Your comment is so far removed from reality, I will not respond.
[WINNING INTENSIFIES]
Obama had destroyed the economy so much that the FED had to keep interest rates at zero for a large part of his presidency.
The hard. core morons.
In other polling news...99% of those polled believe the sun rises in the East...
Decisive.
But you did.
Obama and every media outlet has been telling us, 'Trump didn't do that'.
Thankfully most people, in this case, see the obvious.
As someone noted - it sure is funny that Obama denounces everything Trump does, then tries to take credit for what Trump does....
That is a real no brainer
