Announcement
In year three of the Trump Administration, with a U.S. election looming in November 2020, and a slowing economy and a growing trade war with China, Americans lament the direction of their country but remain fairly positive about President Trump's handling of economic issues. But such sentiment is increasingly polarized, suggesting politics, not underlying fundamentals, will drive the policy debate in the months ahead.
