economy: More people consider the economy to be good today than did at the start of the year, according to The Japan Times. But significantly fewer approve of Trump's handling of the economy, even as it remains a relative strength compared with other issues. Americans give Trump mixed reviews for his economic stewardship despite the growth achieved during this presidency, according to a new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. ; Nearly two-thirds describe as good an economy that appears to have set a record for the longest expansion in U.S. history, with decade-long growth that began under Barack Obama. The survey indicates that most Americans do not believe they're personally benefiting from his trade policies. These doubts create a possible vulnerability as Trump highlights the economy's solid performance in his campaign for re-election in 2020. And only 17 percent said they received a tax cut, despite government and private-sector figures showing that a clear majority of taxpayers owed less after the president's tax overhaul passed in 2017.
