Zogby Poll: No economic rebound
The Latest Republican Zogby Poll Results......
...is meaningless. What people THINK about the economy means nothing. Screwy statement, Dave. What people think about the economy will influence their behavior. People who are uncertain about the future are less likely to go into debt for a major purchase, hire employees, invest in a business, etc. After 3 years of you guys on the right denying that there ever was a recession (or if there was, it was certainly Clinton's fault), it's a hoot to see you assembled into some impromptu barbershop quartet after a few weks of better economic news singing "Happy Days are Here Again." :-) |

Zogby Poll: No economic rebound
I am beginning to think some people don't want the economy to improve, they

What you've hit on is the overarching premise that drives Democratic policy on virtually every issue of substance -- poverty, race, medicare, education, etc., etc. They want to own the issue, not resolve it. Keep the poor ****ed at the wealthy, keep minorities convinced they're being screwed, keep the elderly afraid, keep the kids brain-numbed. All these tracks lead to greater dependence on government programs. |

After 3 years of you guys on the right denying that there ever was a recession Who denied there was a recession? I began to say there was a recession towards the end of 2000...when the stock market was starting to fall. (or if there was, it was certainly Clinton's fault), It was not any one person's fault. It was a combination of things that occurred in the late 90's. it's a hoot to see you assembled into some impromptu barbershop quartet after a few weks of better economic news singing "Happy Days are Here Again." :-) After a few weeks? Try, since the beginning of the year. |

"minimally educated", people what they think the state of the economy is, how is that relevant? Unless you're Alan Greenspan or Lou Dobbs, or make your living in a related field, your opinion is meaningless. I know very little about boat brokering. What if I took a survey of my boating friends (Many of whom have never used a broker) and 75% of them said that they felt brokers were a big rip-off. What would it mean? What people think about the economy will influence their behavior. People who are uncertain about the future are less likely to go into debt for a major purchase, hire employees, invest in a business, etc. Ah! You have hit on a big point here. Perception is a big part of the picture. When the media reports that the economy is crashing, the people cease spending, and they exacerbate the problem. The reverse is also true. I wonder why the left leaning (supporters of democrats) keep floating the notion that the economy is not recovering? It couldn't be that they WANT the economy to stay in the hole, so they have a bigger political issue in 2004 could it? Nah....... After 3 years of you guys on the right denying that there ever was a recession (or if there was, it was certainly Clinton's fault), it's a hoot to see you assembled into some impromptu barbershop quartet after a few weks of better economic news singing "Happy Days are Here Again." Read the numbers. The major economic indicators are showing growth. You can either accept that, or pull a Harry and try to spin the numbers into something that they're not. Dave |

Zogby Poll: No economic rebound
November 26, 2003
The Conference Board's Help-Wanted Advertising Index – a key barometer of America's job market – was 37 in October, unchanged from the previous month. The Index was 40 a year ago. In the last three months, help-wanted advertising declined in seven of the nine U.S. regions. Steepest declines occurred in the Mountain (-10.4%), Middle Atlantic (-9.3%) and South Atlantic (-7.0%) regions. Says Conference Board Economist Ken Goldstein: “Employers are in a wait-and-see mode when it comes to hiring. Although consumers continue to feel that jobs are hard to get right now, they do expect the job climate to improve over the next six months. Leading indicator data are also in-line with trends in consumer confidence and job advertising. The Coincident Economic Index (the best economic measure of where we are) started to improve in May and continued to advance through October. The Leading Economic Index now suggests the economy will continue rising into early 2004. But overall, job advertising volume is not moving up yet, awaiting more positive news.� The Conference Board surveys help-wanted advertising volume in 51 major newspapers across the country every month. Because ad volume has proven to be sensitive to labor market conditions, this measure provides an important gauge of change in the local, regional and national supply of jobs. |
