Polls: Number Who Consider Economy 'poor' Highest in a Decade

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGA6DV3G6ID.html

Three-fourths of Americans say the economy is "not so good" or "poor," according to a new poll, and the number who say it is poor is the highest in a decade.

The poll by ABC-Money Magazine found that consumer confidence - a combination of attitudes about the national economy, the buying climate and personal finances - had slipped to its lowest level in almost two months.

The survey has found consumers' mood on average this year to be as pessimistic about the economy as they have been in a decade. The most optimistic year in the history of this 17-year-old survey was in 2000.

1. How can half of the people

approve of Bush's handling of the economy?

<<In an Ipsos Public Affairs poll done for the Cook Political Report, people were about evenly divided on President Bush's handling of the economy, but a majority of voters age 50 and over, 53 percent, said they disapprove of how the president is handling the economy. His overall job approval in that poll is 59 percent.>>
