If not for the treasonous MSM, Bush's would be at 70% in the polls.
The great news and these statistics will not deter the Democrats from harping on how bad the economy is and how the 'working people' are suffering. It is part of liberals' DNA. The administration simply has to do a better job of touting the figures which are reality-based.
It is only bad news for the dnc if people know about it. Take a bow lame-scream-media, you are a paragon of omission, half truth (being generous), and the pursuit of socialism ......blech!
Say, how come we don't see stories about the federal budget deficit anymore? Is it because it's not all that large (relatively speaking of course)? It must be smaller than predicted or I'm sure we'd be hearing about it every day.
What makes me be a bit of an optimist for midterm elections is the economy. When will Republicans finally start touting the 3-year economic booming expansion? Security plus booming rconomy should equal victory....
The economy was much better under Clinton when he raised taxes. Tax raises are the way to create a robust economy, or at least this is what I hear from the left.
Of course, what they fail to mention is that Clinton inherited the Reagan economy and low tax rates. The fact that Clinton raised the rates some did not totally undo the Reagan economy.
According to the MSM polls, most people feel that Bush has done a terrible job with the economy. That is always the headline, not the reality.
