Press coverage

Trump's high point in ratings was 49% just before the pandemic hit and then it dropped to 34%. At Trump's high the economy was booming. Lowest unemployment in history including minorities and women, inflation less than two percent, low crime, first real wage increases in 40 years, a secure border and exporting oil and gas. Biden started out at 57% and has fallen to 39%. Even though the economy was doing well the press coverage of Trump was 90% negative, while the first year of the Biden administration’s relationship with the U.S. press has been an almost complete reversal of the Trump administration.  Some say this is because Trump was hostile toward the press calling them fake news but is the news supposed to be dependent on how nice the president is.
