In a survey conducted of 2,001 registered voters by media and polling company and Fortune partner Morning Consult, 70% of those questioned said that the country has gotten off on the wrong track. And when asked about the issue most important to them in the upcoming election, 37% said the economy, well ahead of the next most important issue, security, which was most important for just 17% of voters.
So who do Americans think can get the economy back on the right track? Donald Trump, if their expectations for the stock market are any guide. According to the Fortune-Morning Consult poll, when asked, under which president would the stock market do better, more answered Donald Trump than any of the remaining candidates, including Hillary Clinton.
Not only does Donald Trump win on this question by a healthy margin, a deeper look into the numbers shows the diversity of his support.
As you can see, while Clinton has the confidence of Democrats and voters with a postgraduate degree, Trump commands respectable support from both of these groups. Trump is campaigning on the promise that he can bring the same success to the U.S. economy that he did to his business empire, and this poll shows that this message is appealing to a wide cross-section of Americans.

“This nation will be savaged for four years to prove once and for all Trumps ideas are the cause of it all.”
Yes, they will pull out all the stops. But this is why We the People need to remain diligent and actively support the things that will make us strong and free, and strongly resist the things that will result in making America weak and dependent.
If Trump becomes President Trump, he will need us as much as we need him.
But not before the excesses and dislocations have been allowed to run their course. Mighty painful and many casualties along the way, but theres no other way.
But a renewed America will rise from the ashes stronger and radiating with justified optimism not seen since Ronald Reagan

You’re 100% right
In order to get back to “heaven on earth” we’ll have to go through a sort of “ hell on Earth”
We are not past the tipping point of no return. We are past the point that all this can be correct without some pain, however
The question is, will the American people see it the way you and I do?
Cheap labor is only cheap on the front end. It is the US taxpayer that is saddled with the true cost of ‘cheap’ labor. Soaring medical costs to cover the uninsureds, soaring property taxes to cover the cost of county hospital shortfalls due to said uninsured (read illegals and their git), and ever increasing federal taxes to pay for the same illegals’ ill-gotten government benefits due to the misapplication of he 14th Amendment for their non-American bratlings.
Eliminate the cheap labor and the tax burden for Americans will be greatly reduced.
Between minimum wage laws and tariffs we're sure to be in Utopia.
I think the market will explode under Trump. There is so much pent-up demand that has just been idling, waiting for the obama nightmare to be over, that any business-friendly president (read “conservative”) will cause the dam to burst. Companies are cash rich, technology is advancing, and people are tired of being poor. It’s the same kind of “malaise” Jimmy Carter created, and a conservative president will stimulate the market just like Ronald Reagan did.

I agree.

There is no fixing this economy. There is no fixing the dollar.
Think dead man walking.
Just has not fallen down yet.
The true power brokers would work a crash if they disapprove of the person elected.
Makes you wonder how bad the globalists wanted Obama.
Not! As soon as he takes office they’ll jack up interest rates causing a crash so they can blame him for it.
it got to tank at least one more time BEFORE any real growth in the market can start...too much of a bubble to deal with before we get to that point and on a sound footing to have the real growth!

After that we are going to need that to move onto real cuts in federal spending
I have watched the Dow Jones with interest, since Donald entered the race.
When he was first in the race, it seemed the market went every which way, but up. It went straight down, for quite a while. Down, down, down.
Then recently, it turned around. It is now back up. I’m not exactly sure why, but Trump seems as strong or stronger then he did originally, so the market seems to like the idea of a Trump presidency.
If Donald’s program gets passed, over a trillion dollars which has been warehoused off shore will come home. Talk about a shot of stimulus. His reelection in 2020 will be a 57 state sweep.
I really don’t give a damn about “the market”.
I watched Cavuto grind his teeth for months complaining about how low oil prices were hurting Americans.
Bullcrap. It hurts speculators, and may hurt someone’s portfolio (it hasn’t hurt mine one bit, but it should have according to Cavuto).
Low oil prices help business owners like me, who when gas was $5 a gallon had a monthly fuel cost bill of over 20k. I bid on jobs sometimes a year in advance, and I have to guess what gas will cost. For nearly 2 years I took it on the chin because of inflated gas prices.
I had to stop bidding on larger projects that required more than a few pieces of heavy machinery because of gas prices, there were too many people low balling those bids, and I learned my lesson.
The average guy driving 30 miles to work, who is making $14 an hour is not getting hurt by low gas prices, he’s being helped.
So, when they talk about “the markets” I just don’t really give a damn. I’m more concerned about Americans, like my kids, who refuse to ask for money, but when I go to their homes to visit, they have half empty fridges, are working as much as they can, can’t get their cars fixed and are struggling to pay babysitters while they are at work.
My kids age group don’t have “portfolios”. They have bills and need more and better American jobs.
Low oil prices produce those things they need. The “markets” be damned.
You both beat me to it. If Trump really does step on their toes in that way I wouldn’t predict the stock market to rise much more than a lead balloon.
It’s the small businesses which create jobs and drive the economy. So no worries.
