New WaPo poll: 60% of Americans say we are headed to a recession

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

Now for the methodology:

28% of respondents were Dems
24% of respondents were Repubs

So even if everything else about the poll is on the up and up, the poll is already garbage because it doesn't reflect reality.

35% of Americans are Republicans
25% of Americans are Democrats

If the polling reflected that, the takeaway would be "Majority of Americans say we aren't headed to a recession".

Again, the MSM doesn't use polls to show public opinion, they are used to SHAPE public opinion.

Critical thinkers get this. Sheep say 'A-Ha! So CNN was RIGHT!'

We're always headed for a recession.

We all die. It's just a question of when.

First it was Russian Collusion.
Then it was Obstruction of Justice.
After 2+ years and 25+ Million tax payers paid to Demorat lawyers, egg on their faces in an EPIC FAIL...

So now it's a (FAKE NEWS) coming recession...
The Demorat Socialists will never cease with their lies in an attempt to subvert a sitting President, being the traitors to their 'Oath of Office' that they are.

PS
Trump is being witch hunted over some AF personal and the VP choosing to stay at a Trump hotel.== BS claims of 'Emolument Clause' violations.
He's the ONLY President in U.S. History to donate his entire salary to charity every quarter.

I wonder why they ignore these facts.
Clinton's broke entering office,,, now multi-millionaires....
O'Bomba also leaves office as a millionaire, now buying a 7 Mil. beach mansion.
WHERE DID THEIR MONEY MAGICALLY COME FROM????

We're always headed for a recession.

We all die. It's just a question of when.

The liberal faithful will blame Trump if there's a recession...but that same faithful bunch refuse to look at global debt...the much worse mess China is in or the instability of TBTF banks...or the years of Q.E. gone global.

Oh well.

The NASDAQ crash came in March 2000. G. W. was elected in November, 2000. Amerikan Pravda and the left blamed George for the recession he inherited in January, 2001.

Just like they credited Clinton for the amazing economy of the mid to late 90s, when it was driven by the rise of ecommerce. Anyone who was President at that time would have overseen a nice economy because ecommerce was a business transformation.

Just like any President was going to oversee a bad economy when the bubble popped then we had the worst terrorist attack on US soil a year later.
