Polls and the Economy - not exactly free-fall but gettin' there...
the american research group, in a poll released today, says:
Among all Americans, 43% say they approve of the way Bush is handling his job and 51% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 37% of Americans say they approve and 57% say they disapprove. [...] A total of 19% of Americans say that the national economy is getting better, 20% say it is staying the same, and 59% say the national economy is getting worse.
it seems there's good reason to think the economy is getting worse... when you have the conservative right and the liberal left coming together to present joint concerns, it's definitely time to start paying attention...
Stuart Butler, head of domestic policy at the conservative Heritage Foundation, and Isabel Sawhill, director of the left-leaning Brookings Institution's economic studies program, sat down with Comptroller General David M. Walker to bemoan what they jointly called the budget "nightmare." [...] With startling unanimity, they agreed that without some combination of big tax increases and major cuts in Medicare, Social Security and most other spending, the country will fall victim to the huge debt and soaring interest rates that collapsed Argentina's economy and caused riots in its streets a few years ago.
