A recent poll from Quinnipiac University shows that while most Americans continue to credit President Obama for the current state of the economy, the tide is turning towards President Trump. 
In a November 7 to 13 survey of 1,577  voters, 50% went with the former president and 37% chose President Trump, reports The Hill.
The responses are much the same as those given in June and August, but a look further back reveals a rather significant shift. 
Quinnipiac poll results posted on March 7 show only 19% of participants deemed Trump as being behind the nationwide economic situation.
It wasn't until late April that his numbers climbed into the upper 20% range, rising to 34% towards the end of June.
However, based on Trump's various tweets and remarks, he seems to suggest that his administration is largely responsible for the recent economic growth.
"Very little reporting about the GREAT GDP numbers announced yesterday (3.0 despite the big hurricane hits). Best consecutive Q's in years!" the president tweeted in late October.
