Depends where you live....in the good sized city 60 miles away its picked up over the last two years...
IN the small rural community where I now live (SW WI.)...its worse...three of the top ten companies
have laid everybody off and relocated to Mexico...
Its tough for people to sell their houses when so many are laid off and without replacement jobs there are few buyers...
imo

Better or worse than what?
Better than it was in 2001? Definitely.

The employment end is not much better, and Bush would be well advised to USE HIS BULLY PULPIT to get after the jobs outsourcing robber Barron's, or is he totally in the pocket of business interests?? If I were him, the first thing I would have done is sign an executive order that any companies contracting with the federal government cannot use foreign outsourced labor to fulfill government contracts, because we now have the sorry spectacle of working taxpayers tax receipts going not to US citizens but flowing out of the country to god-knows-where... Shameful!!!

Yet another poorly worded poll.
If you ask someone "do you think the economy is getting better, worse, or is staying the same?" you are asking to take into account everything they hear and read in the news (doom and gloom kind of stuff) and they will vote accordingly.
If I approached the news uncritically, I would say "it is getting worse" simply because of the volume of news that says that it is. After all, the homeless have once again become a problem lately and everyone is having their jobs shipped overseas. /sarcasm
A better poll is to ask the voter whether his or her economic status has improved, gotten worse, or has stayed the same.
