That was the incumbency effect that narrowly saved him. I imagine it will work against Trump. The biggest mystery in all of this to me, is how everyone is convinced things are so horrible in this country right now. All the visible signs seem really good to me. I haven't heard of anyone I know losing their job in a layoff for a few years. Anyone looking for a job, usually has no trouble finding one. Commercial and residential construction is booming. Restaurants are thriving. My 401k is up 10% on the year.
It's weird how everyone is convinced that the economy is terrible. Hopefully, when it comes time to go to the polls, most people realize that things really are ok, and don't want to risk the big unknown of what a crazy person will do to upset the apple cart.
