Half of Trump Supporters Don’t Believe Government Economic Data

48%

The latest Marketplace-Edison Research survey shows economic anxiety “is up to 36 from 30 a year ago (the scale runs 0-100). But that’s not the depressing part of the poll’s findings. It’s this: 25 percent of Americans ‘completely distrust the economic data reported by the federal government, including statistics like the unemployment rate, the number of jobs added, and the amount of consumer spending.’ Perhaps unsurprisingly, that number soars to 48% of Donald Trump supporters compared to just 5% of Hillary Clinton supporters.”
