Sixty-seven percent of College graduates and 64 percent of those without a College degree say the economy works for them. So do 68 percent of whites and 61 percent of nonwhites.
WARREN APPARENTLY GETS THE FACTS WRONG IN ANECDOTE DURING CNN INTERVIEW
So are Americans of every generation: 63 percent of generation and Millennials; 69 percent of generation X; 63 percent of baby boomers; and 69 percent of Great Generation and quiet Generation voters.
So it is in every region of the country: 60 percent in the West, 65 percent in the northeast, 67 percent in the Midwest and 68 percent in the South.
So do most voters in every type of American community: 63 percent of both large and small city voters; 64 percent of small-town voters; 66 percent of rural voters and 72 percent of suburban voters.
Most everyone seems to say the economy is working for them.
The only groups that disagree, Marist found, are progressive (59 percent), democratic women (55 percent) and those that are liberal or very liberal (55 percent.
So when Warren declares that President trump is “part of a corrupt, rigged system that has helped the rich and well-connected and kicked dirt in the faces of everyone else,” he resonates with almost no one but those on the political left.
There’s a good reason for that. Unemployment is near an all-time low, and the United States has about 1.6 million more jobs than the unemployed to fill.
Not only are jobs plentiful, but wages are rising. And in may, the New York Times reported that ” over the past year, low-wage workers have experienced the fastest wage growth.”
Americans don’t just think they’re doing better in the trump economy, they’re doing better. Unsurprisingly, Democrats barely mentioned the economy in Tuesday’s debate.
This progress is bad news for Warren. Why would Americans rally to her call for “big structural change” in the economy when they say the economy is working for them? Especially when they find out the structural changes Warren proposes will cost tens of trillions of dollars, and – whether she admits it or not – will require them to pay more taxes?

“Total cost: $ 38 trillion to $ 48 trillion,” says Riedl. And that’s before calculating the cost of providing free public health care to undocumented immigrants, which Warren supports.
There’s no way to pay for this miasma of spending with Warren’s wealth tax; it would require massive middle-class tax increases.
No wonder the so-called moderates went after Warren so hard at Tuesday’s debate; they know it would be a disaster if she were to capture the Democratic nomination.
To win in 2020, Democrats need to win over voters who like trump’s policies but don’t like trump. They can’t do it by telling these voters that they’re wrong about the economy working for them and that they should make peace with socialism. Instead, they need to convince voters that they can ditch trump and preserve their prosperity.

If Democrats nominate Warren, they will give voters suffering from trump’s attrition no safe haven. Her nomination would turn the election into an existential threat to the American economy.
And since Warren said Tuesday that if she is elected, and Democrats take back the Senate, they will “repeal the pirate,” she will be able to pass her radical agenda with a simple majority. That means trump’s message – “whether you love me or hate me, you should vote for me” – will hold true for millions of Americans whose votes might otherwise be up for grabs.
