    Unfortunately, yeah. While there are so many economic factors that are out of the president’s control, “the economy” as a whole is always, always used by republicans as a cudgel against any sitting Dem president if there’s any amount of decline (and when it’s growing, they look for any other issue to yell about). Uninformed or stupid voters invariably believe that the head of state is solely responsible for everything.
