New poll: Zero percent of Americans think national economy is improving
from ThinkProgress:


New poll: Zero percent of Americans think national economy is improving.»

A new American Research Group poll shows that “No Americans say that the national economy is getting better,” while 82 percent say it is getting much worse. Only 17 percent approve of President Bush’s handling of the economy, with 78 percent disapproving. Even among Republicans, more disapprove of his economic performance than approve:

Among Republicans, 46% approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 48% disapprove. Among Democrats, 97% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 2% approve. Among independents, 8% approve and 87% disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy.


Bush’s overall approval rating fell to 19 percent, from 30 percent last month, with 76 percent disapproving.

3. Let's keep tying Bush and McCain together.
Keep saying "the Bush/McCain economy." After all, it is the truth.

4. They obviously didn't poll the Big Mac
Has Mrs. Mooseburger expressed an opinion? How about an informed opinion?
