even though the polls may not reflect it.

For example, a co-worker's parents are very happy with the state of their 401K and seem to be willing to overlook everything else. Understandable -- scared when they lost so much during the Madoff/housing/depression time, now feeling safer. I know it began under Obama, but Trump is in office now and it's Trump they're feeling is responsible.

I doubt they're the only two people in the country who feel this way.

And on election night, AS the election results were coming in, we could not believe that there was a chance Trump would win.

I don't feel confident at all, but am heartened by the fine group of candidates we have.
