Poll: More Americans credit Obama than Trump for economy

More Americans are crediting former President Obama for the state of the economy than President Trump, an ABC News/Washington Post poll found.

The poll, released Sunday, found that 50 percent of voters believe the Obama administration deserves credit for the U.S. economy, compared to 38 percent who said the same of the Trump administration.

Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the state of the U.S. economy, lauding records set by the Dow Jones industrial average since he took office, along with lower unemployment numbers.

The president most recently tweeted about the economy over the weekend, bragging about the “Record Stock Market.”

He also tweeted that those participating in the Women’s March, a protest against him and his policies, should be celebrating the “unprecedented economic success and wealth creation” that has taken place during his administration.

Unprecedented success for our Country, in so many ways, since the Election. Record Stock Market, Strong on Military, Crime, Borders, & ISIS, Judicial Strength & Numbers, Lowest Unemployment for Women & ALL, Massive Tax Cuts, end of Individual Mandate – and so much more. Big 2018!

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!

Trump signed the GOP tax plan into law late last year, creating incentives for businesses to come to the U.S.

However, voters have regularly said in polls that Obama is more responsible for the economy than Trump.

ABC News/Washington Post interviewed 1,005 adults by phone from Jan. 15-18. The poll has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
