I'm not so sure. The various healthcare bills were not really popular unless you were anti-Obamacare and still are now. Some were but aren't now while others were and realize it needs fixing, not scrapping.
The issue I see is that there is likely a divide between where the economy is booming. In suburban Phoenix, there is an economic boom with many new fast food places popping up as well as a few more retail stores. However, other places may not see this yet see the stock market going up and wondering "Why aren't we booming too?"
You may also find the information in this link interesting, about where the gains are happening (or not). As to the question "why?" Not all that hard to guess in some cases, and/or easy enough to find out if further interested...

I find it interesting that Obama had similar jobs gains in his last two/three years, yet it was not him that led those gains, yet Trump does and he is trumpeted for the job gains despite their previous stance.
Yes, baffling, going all the way back to when he was center stage with all those other GOP contenders for POTUS. His supporters who made it all happen, beyond baffling...
Trumps ratings at historical lows while Dow Jones at all-time high - what does this mean? (Congress, middle east)
It means when you combine unrelated things in a sentence, they're still unrelated.
Might also help to demonstrate what is unrelated, and/or that not everyone is unable to determine whether all things that are positive are thanks to Trump, the GOP and/or conservatives...

That Obama inherited two wars and a recession...and spent 8 years Fixing what Bush screwed up?
And then after 6 years in a row of economic growth and job creations, Obama handed over a healthy and steady economy to Donald Trump, who has passed no major legislation since taking office that has any impact on the economy. So most if not all credit goes to Obama.
Just wait. If the likely outcome of a US default occurs this October, Dow 6,000 is likely by next summer as is 15% U3 unemployment rate (20s likely in terms of U6 real unemployment).
Trumpists won't have Obama's strong economy to use as leverage anymore.
We all hope for a healthy economy and not just in the short-term, but if/when Trump can ask the simple question "are you better off than you were four years ago?" and if the answer is yes on the economic front, the chances for Trump to be re-elected will be much better, whether he deserves the credit or not.
Moral of that story is that Americans need to stop thinking so simply, but given what little Americans know or pay attention to when it comes to politics and economics, we are simply not too likely to have the populace do other than vote in "mysterious ways." Another reason we have the electoral college...
