It wasn't disproportionately weighted. It simply says that most of the concerned comes from Dems and Independents. But it even says a majority of GOPers (55%) are also concerned about it. If the poll is correct, then it gives us a hint of the mood of the country, and the potential outcome re: economic issues in future elections. BTW, as the numbers indicate, the so-called recovery is far from equally distributed across income brackets. If the rich are getting richer, that's great. But if the rest are getting left behind, it only underscores that we are not experiencing a broad-based recovery. And unless we figure out what is causing this, and rectify it, then it increases the chance that the Dems will pick up even more seats (not to mention the presidency) next time around.

Go back and read it; the author DIDS slip up and say that it was a weighted poll.

And WHY do those used in this article ( notice how they left out GOOD responses ? ) "FEEL" that things are terrible? Because the Marxist MSM has convinced them.

How come the ONLY figures you ever give any credence to, are the ones with which you agree? Figures, from much more reliable sources, you poo poo and call those who post them names, which is now going to get you in BIG trouble around here...as per the MOD's thread of yesterday.

The "rest" are NOT getting "left behind"! How many of the middle class, today, does without T.V.s, cable, cars, air-conditioning, vacations to spiffy places, new clothes and lots of them, and all of the latest gadgets?

What's "causing" some people's "FEELINGS" about being "left behind? Besides spurious articles and polls, envy, wanting to be able to have and do whatever they see their idols do and have in PEOPLE or on MTV, or the like.

A hundred years ago, those in the lower classes tried to emulate the behavior and taste of their betters. They didn't, for the most part, think that they should be able to be swagged in pearls or eat at Delmonicos.

Whenever you talk about "equal distribution", whether you realize it or not, you are just spewing Marxist cant.
