Americans are increasingly confident about the state of the U.S. economy, a new Bloomberg poll released Monday morning shows, but that confidence does not extend to the performance of President Donald Trump.

Fifty-one percent of those polled said they believe the stock market will end 2017 higher than it is right now, while 30 percent said they anticipate a lower finish. Fifty-eight percent of respondents said they feel they are moving closer to reaching their career and financial hopes.

But just 46 percent of those polled said they approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 47 percent said they approved of his record on job creation. Overall, just 40 percent of respondents said they approve of the job Trump has done as president. Fifty-five percent said they view him unfavorably and 61 percent said the nation is headed down the wrong path, both numbers that climbed 12 points relative to a Bloomberg poll taken last December.

The president’s net favorability rating was 41 percent in Monday’s poll, a nine-point dip relative to last December, when Trump was president-elect.

1. Ridiculous

WTF has he done FOR the economy except not delve us into depression yet?

[Loki Liesmith]

2. That's all it takes.

[FakeNoose]

13. Bloomberg is just making up fake polls now

I don't believe they're actually calling anybody because those can't be real numbers.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

3. 46% think best way to handle anything is to talk a big game but never follow through with any action

[itcfish]

4. Who the Hell are they Polling?

He has not done a thing to help the economy. He killed the tourist industry in the US that is for sure.

[TexasBushwhacker]

18. When you have an Energy Secretary who doesn't understand

something as basic as supply and demand, how can we hope the general electorate knows much about economic policy. They still believe the "trickle down" myth.

5. He put 10 billion miners back to work

7. Wouldn't surprise me if that changes to minors if he and the rest of the Repugnants have their way.

[Juliusseizure]

6. Why even take a poll?

Most Republicans think college is a bad idea. This is 'Merica. You're just gonna get random answers.

A good follow up question is "why do you approve?" and listen to kindergartener level answers, or just a grunt.

[cstanleytech]

8. Or a massive amount of hate fueled sewage spewing lying which I am shocked that you

forgot as it is their favorite one to use.

11. Completely Missing Of Course. . .

. . .that they had a job and gas was cheap 9 months ago. Idiots

14. Well....you know......OBAMA!

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Saying That, But Actually Thinking. . .

. . ."that black guy". Or worse.

[chowder66]

12. The Republicans are trying to tear down the benefits of Obama's economy. Futures are not looking

good if they have their way.

[LiberalLovinLug]

16. This ongoing myth that Republicans are better at handling the economy

because they are all about the bottom line, and business. And now, there is an actual BUSINESSMAN in charge so he MUST be doing things more prudently........right?
