That is to say, the economy has consistently been pretty good under Trump. And it was consistently mediocre but recovering at an OK pace under Obama (except at the very start of his term, but voters probably weren't blaming him for the previous recession). — PolitiTweet.org

I think this theory is a liiiiiiiittle under-evidenced since there haven't really been major economic shocks under either Trump or Obama to test how approval ratings changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Both Obama and Trump's presidencies suggest that presidential approval is decoupling from economic performance: https://t.co/Z0PNnULzxy

@gelliottmorris But there's lots of evidence that voters don't blame a new president for a recession that began before his term. Almost all of the variance in economic performance under Obama came in 2009 and it was rather steady from 2010-16 (unless you're cherry-picking indicators). — PolitiTweet.org
