Os Números Recordes de Trump para Economia de Hoje

Hoje foram anunciados números fantásticos da economia americana na gestão Trump:

• 3,9% de taxa de desemprego (taxa mais baixa em 18 anos); 
• 6,6% de desemprego entre os negros (número mais baixo da história);
• 4,8% de desemprego entre os latinos (número mais baixo em 12 anos);
• Previsão do FMI de crescimento econômico para os Estados Unidos em 2018 é de 2,9%. Maior previsão de crescimento entre praticamente entre todas as principais economias do mundo, com exceção da China e da Índia;
• Aprovação popular de Trump bate recorde e chega a 51%. 

O  Daily Wire escreveu sobre como esses números de Trump são péssimos para a oposição democrata: 

Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating, despite all the bad press about his personal lawyer Michael Cohen and the Stormy Daniels "hush money," continues to outperform President Obama at the same time in his presidency. Rasmussenreports:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-nine percent (49%) disapprove.

Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans like the job the president is doing; 75% of Democrats don’t. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 47% approve; 51% disapprove.

The latest figures include 33% of all likely voters who Strongly Approve of the way the president is performing and 40% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7. (see trends).

The positive trends in the unemployment numbers and Trump's approval is not the only troubling news Democrats have received this week. Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro provides a summary of recent Morning Consult polls suggesting that the "blue wave" might end up having a far redder tint than Democrats hope:

Republicans have serious leads in West Virginia, where incumbent Democrat Joe Manchin trails by 14 points; North Dakota, where incumbent Democrat Heidi Heitkamp trails by 8; Indiana, where incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly trails by 5; Missouri, where incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill trails by 5; Montana, where incumbent Democrat Jon Tester trails by 5; Florida, where incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson is locked in a near-deadlock with Rick Scott; and Pennsylvania and Ohio, where incumbent Democrats Bill Casey and Sherrod Brown are leading by less than two points each, plus Virginia, where Tim Kaine leads by just 3 on the generic ballot. In the best-case scenario for Republicans, then, they could win up to nine additional Senate seats.
