  • With the US election looming,

  • four in five registered voters say that the economy is going to be very important to their vote.

  • That makes the economy the top issue above healthcare, foreign policy and immigration.

  • And for a lot of this year, that seemed like bad news for the Democrats.

  • Even though the data on how the US Economy was doing seemed pretty good, the vibes were bad.

  • This week we are going to ask one of the President's key economic advisors where we are now are the vibes catching up with the data.

  • This is the Economics show with Samaya Keynes.

  • This week I'm joined by a very well informed guest,

  • Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors.

  • Jared, hello.

  • Hello.

  • Thanks for inviting me on.

  • Okay, so before we begin, I feel like there is something that you need to get off your chest.

  • Would you like to share any comments on the title of my podcast?

  • Oh, yes, yes.

  • No,

  • I wanted to praise you for the creative sessions it must have taken to come up with the title the Economic Show.

  • And just note that I suggested a subhead, which is the Economic show colon a show about economics.

  • And I just wondered if you're thinking along those lines.

  • Yeah, I could suggest that to my editor, Rola.
