As 2019 comes to a close, the US economy earns its highest ratings in almost two decades, potentially boosting President Donald Trump in matchups against the Democrats vying to face him in next year's election, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Overall, 76% rate economic conditions in the US today as very or somewhat good, significantly more than those who said so at this time last year (67%). This is the highest share to say the economy is good since February 2001, when 80% said so.

Almost all Republicans (97%) say economic conditions are good right now, as do 75% of independents and 62% of Democrats. Positive ratings are up across parties compared with August of this year, when 91% of Republicans, 62% of independents and 47% of Democrats said the economy was in good shape.

MORE FROM CNN ( UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY WOULD PUBLISH THIS ):

Looking ahead, nearly 7 in 10 expect the economy to be in good shape a year from now (68%), the best outlook in CNN polling since December 2003. The new finding includes 63% who say things are good now and will continue to be good next year, while just 9% say they economy is currently good but will turn south in 2020.

As perceptions of the economy have brightened, the poll also shows matchups between the top Democrats vying for the 2020 nomination and Trump tightening. In October, four Democrats tested in hypothetical head-to-head contests with Trump among registered voters lead by anywhere from six to 10 percentage points, all advantages outside that poll’s margin of sampling error.

Now, just two of those candidates hold edges at or above the error margin: former Vice President Joe Biden leads Trump nationally 49% to 44%, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders tops Trump 49% to 45%. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg each run about even with the President.

And it’s all due to that great president Barry Soetoro! How could fake news say it any clearer?

Bait and switch

[Kickass Conservative]

Are they still calling this the Obama Economy?

It just took eight years to finally kick into high gear.

[rdl6989]

More winning please.

[Kickass Conservative]

Well, the Rat Party and the Rat Media still have eleven Months to do whatever they can to tank the Economy.

Imagine the current conditions with just one difference:

Hillary is President.

What would we be hearing from the media?

[tomkat]

I love it when the Communist Nonsense Network is forced by overwhelming evidence to report anything positive re the US and DJT.

It has to grate every last nerve of the seditious bastards, and I absolutely relish the thought of their gritted teeth and misery.

Some producer at CNN is going to be fired for allowing this news to air.

Maybe Nan can have the economy impeached for obstruction of democrat?

[Skooz]

Anyone note the many recent news articles concerning poverty and homelessness?

You know, those problems that magically disappeared for 8 years and have now returned with a vengeance? MSN is particularly vigilant.

[BenLurkin]

Parking lot at the mall is packed.

[The Great RJ]

But didn’t crazy Joe Biden just tell us the economy is struggling? Of course Joe also said he would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of energy jobs on the altar of the global warming hoax...boy that would sure help a “struggling” economy.

Hillary is the new normal
