I don't think that something as complex as the economy of our country can be adequately gauged by a Gallup Poll. <blockquote>The stock market may be climbing and the unemployment remains relatively low, but 7 in 10 Americans believe the economy is getting worse...</blockquote> Right there tells me that looking at the numbers would suggest something different than a 70% pessimism rate. Seven in ten people may be dissatisfied with the economy, but if the numbers say different, which carries more weight? Personally, I would agree that the opinion is colored by the media.

Was the survey meant to measure the economy, or how people feel about the economy?

Was the survey meant to measure the economy, or how people feel about the economy?

We've been solidlly busy all year but our growth has slowed compared to previous years. I feel that this is only one-part related to the economy and the rest self-induced factors. I have no doubt that there is plenty of readily available business to be had with a bit more effort. Personally though I feel more constricted as consumer prices and real estate markets seem to be outpacing income around here.

I think things are as good as you make them. As far as I can tell opportunities are everywhere!
