With just 47 days before the general election and Mitt Romney attempting to pivot the focus of the election back on the state of the economy, citizens with Democratic leanings are actually doing an about-face on the economy compared to their Republican counterparts, according to a recent study from the Pew Research Center.
New data found that just 15 percent of Democrats believe that recent economic news is mostly poor, a percentage that took a significant drop from the 31 percent of Democrats polled last month who did think that economic news was mostly bad. According to the study, the 15-percent clip is among the lowest percentages during President Barack Obamas nearly four years in office.
But with those citizens with Republican leanings and no political leanings at all, the outlook remains the same. Sixty percent of Republicans find that most of the economic news is bad. Among independents, the percentage is 36 percent. Both of these data sets remain virtually unchanged from a month ago, according to the study.
The study, released on Sept. 11, could show Obama making gains on the economy, which has been what Romney ultimately has wanted to make the election about to this point, crystallized even further in his acceptance of the nomination at the Republican National Convention. Despite Romneys efforts to turn the attention back to the economy following the backlash from the 47 percent video, the data found that some Americans were actually beginning to feel better about the outlook of the economy. The percentage of people who feel that most of what they hear about the economy is bad dropped six percentage points in a month, from 41 percent to 35 percent, according to the study.
The survey of 1,012 adults was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press from Sept. 7 through Sept. 9.
WE HAVE THE WINNER!
85% of dems voters are on the govt dole. Nothing has changed for them.
What planet are they on?
Are they all on drugs?
They have no auto’s to put fuel into. They have no work that is not beneath them. They are gov’t hive members. They are institutionalized. They are in prison, jail or rehab. They are dead.
It’s only 15%???
I don’t think the fact that only 15% of democrats find the economy bad is unbelievable. The fact that only 60% of repubs and 30% of independents do is really unbelievable and scary.
Only 15% of democrats work and/or pay taxes, I guess.
The way to convince a liberal the economy is bad is tell him he has no more money to buy porn, tattoos or pot. THAT’LL get his attention.
Why would someone care about the national unemployment rate when their family unemployment rate has been 100% for generations?
It won’t change.
They could be in bread lines and told that rations have been increased from 900 calories to 800 and she would still cheer this great news.
I asked him for an example of how Obama was helping the economy.
He couldn't come up with one answer!
LMBO!!
As long as the bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the Democrat party “base” keep getting their “free stuff”, confiscated for them from Republican taxpayers by their Democrat politicians and handed over to them in exchange for their votes, the economy is just fine, thank you.
The White Queen to Alice: Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Democrats are stupid.
If we ever have to round them up, it will be easy to catch them. Simply put our hats on backwards and they’ll think we’re leaving.
Based on the same reason that slave owners wouldn’t allow the slaves to be educated...the herd is easier to control (with lies) if the have no reading skills.
Now you see whay the polling results are the way they are...between the oversamples and people who believe this nonsense, it’s no wonder.
Coincidentally, this is the same percentage as dims who are literate.
Gas prices up
Food prices up
Unemployment up
Debt up
Deficit spending up
Yep, Obama has got the economy up!
Also, they believe if the Government gives them a new LINCOLN - Chavez will give them free GAS...
The devil has put a veil over their eyes. There is no other way to explain it. In all honesty how much I complain and rail about them, I know that the devil is doing his number on them. I should pray for that veil to be lifted more than I do.
