Dems worry Trump will win over economy

Democrats are starting to get worried that with the improving economy,  and with President Trump’s messaging about his economic stewardship, will help Republicans in this year’s midterm elections and have an even greater impact in 2020. 

But if the signs start to show a chance they could win back the House,  the party is concerned that their hopes of a blue wave could turn into something smaller if Trump and the GOP are effective on their economic messaging ahead of November.

Democrats suggest a number of people in the party are worried that Democrats aren’t doing enough to provide a counterargument.

The economy is the No. 1 issue out there for people and right now Trump has a very aggressive economic message that seems to cross traditional party lines to voters.

And also under Trump, unemployment has  fallen even more than when Obama was president.

Democratic strategist who served as the executive director of the New York State Democratic Party, also said Democrats are losing the messaging war when it comes to the economy. 

In a recent CNN poll, it shows that 57% of those surveyed think the country is doing well, an uptick from 49 percent in February. At the same time, a CBS poll also out this month showed that 66 percent of those polled believe the economy is good. 

Democratic strategist Jim Manley acknowledged that “the last thing Democrats should do is try and knock down the economy.” Still, he agreed those in his party can point out that the administration’s tax policy is “skewed to the wealthy” and Democrats should seize on that opening. 

In order to win the midterms, Democrats have to come up with something new to sway voters.
