The State Of The Economy....

according to you.

Nationally, 8% of Americans rate the economy as good or excellent, while 62% say the state of the economy is poor. Only 12% think the economy is getting better, while 68% say it is getting worse.

Looking to the future, 39% of Americans say that the economy will be stronger in a year while 31% believe it will be weaker. Longer-term, there is optimism—62% say the economy will be stronger in five years than it is today.

  Here is an interesting tidbit for you.

             Despite the troubled economy, most Americans believe that just about anybody who is willing to work can find a job. Most also believe it’s possible for just about anyone to work their way out of poverty. However, most say it’s not possible for anyone willing to work hard to get rich in America.      Rasmussen

CBS Polling: George Bush's Final Approval Rating...

  and as is to be expected, it ain't good.

CBS

President Bush will leave office as one of the most unpopular departing presidents in history, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll showing Mr. Bush's final approval rating at 22 percent.
Seventy-three percent say they disapprove of the way Mr. Bush has handled his job as president over the last eight years.
Mr. Bush's final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago.
The rating is far below the final ratings of recent two-term presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, who both ended their terms with a 68 percent approval rating, according to CBS News polling.

   I'll bet that his ratings go up on Tuesday after Barack Obama becomes President Obama as most of us will approve of Bush leaving town, quickly.
