Obviously they aren't reading Larry Kudlow and the CNBC cheerleaders. Of course, Kudlow only hobnobs with the same spongers who just received hundreds of billions in bailout money, so they don't see the economic difficulties in quite the same way as the rest. Must be nice.
Seven in 10 people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say things are going badly, with only 30 percent saying things are going well.
"It's been 16 years since the public gave the country's condition such a bad rating: January 1992, to be precise, in the last year in office of the last president named Bush," CNN pollster Keating Holland said.
"Seventy percent is a lot worse than two years ago, when 48 percent thought times were bad and the Republicans lost control of Congress," CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider added.
