Hassett blames 'partisan pollsters' for weak consumer sentiment
Original: Hassett blames ‘partisan pollsters’ for pessimistic consumer sentiment and says ‘the economy is booming’
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett dismissed pessimistic US consumer sentiment readings, accusing pollsters of partisan bias and insisting 'the economy is booming'. His comments push back against survey data showing Americans downbeat about prices and jobs, and are drawing criticism from economists who argue sentiment reflects real cost-of-living pressures rather than polling methodology.
Why now: The administration is publicly contesting negative economic data as consumer sentiment remains weak.
