Analysis: President Trump wants credit for the 'fastest GDP growth in history.' Here's a reality check.

of his response to the coronavirus, according to polling averages tracked by RealClearPolitics. The economy is a rare issue on which battleground state polls show Trump holding an edge over Biden.

Trump's claims that the economy is ready to be the"best ever" could have a ring of truth for one group of people: college graduates who are comfortably working from home. Those Americans are saving money on commuting, meals and entertainment expenses. Some who are invested in markets have seen their portfolios appreciate as the Federal Reserve buys large amounts of securities.But millions of Americans remain unemployed, with dim prospects.

Rising coronavirus case numbers have caused some states to enact more restrictions. And the coming winter could hit small businesses hard, especially restaurants."With the virus surging again and much of the country still locked down, no one in America is happy with the economy right now — no matter what the statistics say," said Michael Steel, a consultant who worked for Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign and for former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Hows the stockmarket going Donkey, I havent heard you mention it for a while?

Trump was handed a thriving economy and he destroyed it. Just like everything he puts his name on.

When you start from historic lows, almost anything else looks good by comparison.

Our economy is somewhere between Russian and East Recession...

a liar will always be a liar.

He is directly responsible for it. Here let me go find some random fact checker that supports me, just like CBS does.

He can only get credit for the fastest growing dead American's number by UNCONTROLLABLEB! coronavirus

The 'job growth' isn't NEW jobs....it's just the return of *some* of the EXISTING jobs that were lost. We are still in a negative loss from before covid! Don't be fooled!!

wow.

Why don't the media do a real check on this!

The dow is down 600+ right now....just sayin'

in short.

TonyBobulinski

Oh, he'll get some kind of 'credit'..

Trump also wants credit for being the first black US President and for ending slavery

Are you guys ever gonna talk about Hunter Biden's laptop or Tony Bobulinski's interview?

You guys are a joke when you going to mention this?

What ever happened to real news!

Why are you burying the biggest political scandal in American history? Why censor information to the people? Biden is compromised to the Chinese.

Those jobs are recovered jobs. We're still more than 10 million jobs down from before the pandemic. That is not new growth. Trump is so blatantly lying than even really unintelligent people can see it.

After one of the biggest crashes in history LOL

Funny y’all a check everything but that Biden story 😂😂 and I’m not even a Republican 🥴
