I'm assuming this survey was done in October for release now. It'll be interesting to see where it goes next month.

Yes, back in October there was hope for change....in a Republican win. Let’s see what November’s numbers will be, and how dismal December’s Christmas retail numbers will be. By the time The Worst President Ever is inaugurated in January, unemployment will be heading for 9%.

That was my thoughts. They expected Obama to be history.

I wonder who they are asking, everyone I know is extremely worried and holding on to every penny they can. I bet we see a dismal Christmas shopping season. Maybe Kwanza spending will be up with all that free obama money.

Do we believe all these reports or our lying eyes? And, no questioning by anyone. All rah rah rah. Pure BS.

Obama gets reelected and everything becomes peachy keen.

We will be inundated with ‘good news’ stories until after the inauguaration.

Then, reality might start hitting the front pages of the newspapers. Or they will help him build his legacy during the next 4 years.

Obama got a mulligan.

Urban Dictionary: A Mulligan, in a game, happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a certain move or action; usually due to lack of skill or bitter luck. A “Do-Over”.

Maybe people were being optimistic about the outcome of the election.

Watch where it goes now!

U.S. consumer sentiment rose to its highest level in more than five years in November as consumers felt more optimistic about employment prospects and the outlook for the overall economy, a survey released on Friday showed.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 84.9, up from 82.6 the month before.
It was above the median forecast of 83 among economists polled by Reuters.
"More consumers expected good rather than bad times financially in the economy in early November, not only for the year ahead but over the next five years as well," survey director Richard Curtin said in a statement. ……

Hmmmmmm….perhaps not for the few thousand undergoing “change” this week…...

Thomson . . . Reuters . . . University of Michigan. Does this possibly sound like a liberal bunch of liars?

So very, very predictable the media is. Two massive days of selling in the equity markets directly attached to the election results, and on the third day this story surfaces.

Is all BS.

What’s the methodology and did it evenly weight takers and makers?
