(CNN) Hillary Clinton on Saturday acknowledged the state of the economy is good, but cautioned that other factors should go into selecting a president. "It is the economy, it's always the economy, but that's not the only reason that we should elect a president, or in this case retire one," Clinton said to cheers during an "Evening with the Clintons" in Los Angeles, California. According to data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the last time the unemployment rate was this low, at or under 4%, was from December 1965 to January 1970. Clinton continued, "Yes, maybe the economy is still pumping along, but all of a sudden you've got tens of millions of Americans who are much less secure because their health care is gone." The comments come in the wake of new CNN polling last week that showed 56% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the economy.
