Each campaign has been using their own set of data points to create a favorable economic picture of their time in office. But for many voters, their view of the economy will vary greatly on how they fit into it.
The economy may be booming per statistics, but who is it benefiting, people who need the benefit, or no?
The answer is low wage workers
That is excellent news and something that I did not know. It certainly isn’t being publicized. Like you I agree that the media is mostly to blame, especially for the part where you mention “my local economy is great but the country’s sucks!”. They have a vested interest in keeping people on edge and hungry for more info, which is terrible and one of the reasons I think we should have a hell of a lot more nonpartisan publicly funded news sources than we do. Not to mention bringing back the Fairness Doctrine.

100% agree
And yes the media in the US is mostly a big corrupt grouping of useless bleating dickholes
