A new Reuters Ipsos poll tells the Daily Business News that the top two issues for most voters in the approaching midterms will be employment and immigration. Even as the long-awaited tariffs between the U.S. and China both kicked in today, a series of positive jobs data sparked a rise in the markets. These will be part of our evening ‘what’s driving the market’ snapshot.

James Carville’s famous line, “it’s the economy, stupid.” is the counterpoint to his equally infamous, and prejudicial “trailer park” line. It’s a classic example of the necessity for discernment, for sifting the wheat from the chaff that MHProNews believes is essential for understanding the industry’s realities today.
Wheat, Chaff, and the Monday Morning Manufactured Housing Sales, Marketing Meeting
Publicly traded manufactured home producers routinely point in their quarterly and/or annual reports how rising employment and rising pay are good for new home sales. Duh, of course, right?
The latest Reuters Ipsos poll could, of course, shift between now and the midterms. But the two hot topics, according to other polls, tell us these are issues that should play well for President Donald J. Trump and his party’s partisans.
For those who watch a Trump rally with an open mind, it has a similar feel to the ones in 2016, with one key difference. Then, those rallies were about promises being made. Now, they are about the results of promises being kept.
Workers and most businesses alike have reason to smile. The anti-Trump resistance isn’t giving up. It will be an interesting, perhaps historic ride to the midterms.
