More Americans are crediting former President Obama for the state of the economy than President Trump, an ABC News/Washington Post poll found.

The poll, released Sunday, found that 50 percent of voters believe the Obama administration deserves credit for the U.S. economy, compared to 38 percent who said the same of the Trump administration.

Overall, 58 percent of respondents said that the economy is in good shape, the highest number in 17 years, according to the poll.Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the state of the U.S. economy, lauding records set by the Dow Jones industrial average since he took office, along with lower unemployment numbers.

The president most recently tweeted about the economy over the weekend, bragging about the “Record Stock Market.”
