Hassett dismisses weak consumer sentiment as partisan polling
Original: Hassett blames ‘partisan pollsters’ for pessimistic consumer sentiment and says ‘the economy is booming’
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett pushed back against gloomy consumer sentiment readings, accusing pollsters of partisan bias and insisting that "the economy is booming." His comments came as surveys show Americans remain pessimistic about economic conditions despite strong headline indicators, highlighting a gap between official data and public perception that the administration is aggressively contesting.
Why now: The administration is under pressure to reconcile strong economic data with persistently pessimistic consumer surveys.
