In response to months of stagnant polling, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum suspended his presidential campaign, which heavily relied on Burgum self-identifying as being uniquely qualified as a job creator who is equipped to rebuild the economy.
According to a recent poll conducted by The George Washington University and YouGov, perceptions of the economy are growing increasingly pessimistic. More than half of those surveyed believe the economy is getting worse.
Faculty experts at George Washington University are available to offer insight, analysis and commentary on Burgum’s suspended campaign, including which issues related to the economy should be top of mind for presidential candidates.
