US ‘satisfaction’ best in 15 years, Trump's high four times Obama’s low
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 24, 2020 | Paul Bedard

Satisfaction “with the way things are going” in the United States has reached a 15-year high, about four times better than the low points registered under President Barack Obama.

In its latest survey, Gallup said that 41% are satisfied with the direction of the nation. The last time it hit that level was in 2005, during the administration of President George W. Bush.

Under Obama, it hit about 10% in his first and third year, but it rose to the mid-30s in his last year.

Gallup suggested that the strong economy was the driver in boosting U.S. satisfaction levels.

“The higher level of satisfaction measured in the Jan. 2-15 Gallup poll comes at a time when Americans' evaluations of the U.S. economy are the best they have been in nearly two decades, perhaps because of continued low unemployment and record stock values,” said the analysis, which was accompanied with a photo of happy younger people.

President Trump has made improving the economy and lowering unemployment his key focus and the basis for his reelection argument.

But like everything political, the sides are divided. Some 72% of Republicans are satisfied versus just 14% of Democrats.

The satisfaction level is also higher than Gallup's historical average.

How easy it all seems when you have a pro economy, pro business president. We can see where our money and future went with the Obama and rats in charge, lying, scheming, stealing, filling their own bank accounts, making themselves and everyone in the crime family and their overseas friends rich at our expense. This is a lesson learned, stay awake, be vigilante and never fall back to sleep

I love it when my High is four times better than my low :)

For various reasons the Trump economy is making my life better but I cannot take advantage of it as much as I could when I was a younger man.

I voted for Trump more for my nephews and nieces, almost all in their 20s and early 30s and I am SO HAPPY at the opportunities he is providing them.

And they have taken advantage.

And honest, seeing them doing incredibly well and thriving, at this point in my life, makes me 1000x more happy then me making a fortune.

Amazing how priorities change as one ages.

You and President Trump think alike. He does what he does for his kids, grandkids, their kids, and the rest of his family as much as out of his love for America.

He is a man who needed nothing and can afford to give it his all.

I’m pretty confident that the President and our Melania won’t be sniffing around for Netflix deals in 2025.

No they won’t.

And yours was truly a compliment indeed.

Thank you.

We’re both NYC boys who grew up in the outer suburbs where sanity still existed and worked in Manhattan.

But we never let Manhattan define us.

God Bless POTUS Trump.
