I keep hearing on the news that the economy is on the upswing, that things are looking up, that business is doing better. And yet, my experience tells me otherwise. Several of my friends are unemployed, part of what is being called a “jobless recovery.” (I consider that a contradiction in terms.)
Maybe my view of what’s happening is limited, but based on an article by Rasmussen, I don’t think so:
>>Importance Of Issues
With a new Congress scheduled to swing into action this week, the number of voters who rate the economy as a Very Important issue has reached its highest level since early August 2008.
A new national telephone survey finds that 87% of Likely U.S. Voters view the economy this way, well above the importance they place on any other issue on a list of 10 regularly tracked by Rasmussen Reports. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
