While Trump foes and the media have played up the gloomy surveys, the latest Gallup poll shows that American optimism in personal finances is just three-points shy of the all-time record, and significantly higher than it was under former President Obama.

The numbers:

• 53% call their personal finances "excellent" or "good," compared with 49% in April.
• The Gallup high was 56% last year. Under Obama, it never hit higher than 48%.
• By 41% to 37%, Americans said their situation is getting better rather than worse.
• 61% of Republicans said their finances are getting better, up from 47% in May.
• 27% of Democrats said their financial situation is improving, compared with 28% who said the same in April.

S&P 500 index is up for the last 12 months. We’ve mostly recovered from the March COVID crash.

Gosh, it's almost as if the DNC's media stooges are upset about this.

It took a worldwide economic shutdown to get down to Obama’s highest numbers.
