Most Believe Economy Will Improve, but Still Harbor Fears
Eighty-four percent of Americans believe the economy is still in recession, but 65 percent believe it will improve over the next year, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted Sept. 11-13. Twenty-three percent predict the economy will remain in a recession in the next year and 12 percent expect it to get worse.

The optimism is tempered by the fact the 20 percent are very worried and another 41 percent somewhat worried that another economic crash could happen over the next 12 months.
Democrats are the most optimistic about economic recovery, with 85 percent saying it will be better a year from now, compared to 57 percent for independents and 50 percent for Republicans.
Seventy-four percent of Democrats believe President Obama's policies have made the economy better. Thirty-five percent of independents agree with that, but 38 percent say those policies have made no difference and 26 percent say they have made the economy worse. Fifty-four percent of Republicans say Obama's policies have made things worse while 31 percent say they have made no difference.

How can we have a stonger economy when EVERYONE will be taxed to death with all of these so called "improvements" to our social programs? What about the extra $1,761 per year per family that will be inflicted with Cap and Trade? How about all of the new taxes and fines that will be levied on businesses and individuals with this so called "health care reform?" GET REAL--every policy coming out of the democratically controlled government screws our fragile economy and kills jobs or moves them out--and that is a FACT!

Of course it will improve - eventually.
As far as polls go, take this same poll end of this year, first part of next year. You'll get much different results.
The fourth quarter is gong to be a bear.
