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 Obama’s 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 Romney’s 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.
I know, they do little or no work at all nor do they try. I admit I’m between jobs now, but I’m doing all I can to get back in the saddle. After three weeks of being off, I get stir crazy wishing I was out there producing, it drives me crazy that those people just sit around and do nothing for a lifetime, it is a waste. I also do odd webpages on the side too.
100% of all the wealth of democrats should be confiscated and applied to the national debt. They should also be forced to survive and live on welfare for 2 years. That should re-program them.
Thanks Roberts. It’s because they don’t watch or listen to news — they use the MSM and NPR instead.
That 85% of Democrats are delusional is no surprise. Taht 64% of independents are is tragic.
