Hell the government will say the economy is improving but it doesn't mean the economy is improving. I need more than fluff words to show me the economy is improving. I believe what I see and Gallup verifies my belief.
The only reason you're quoting Gallup is that you believe it shows the economy is getting worse. If it showed the economy was improving you'd be quoting someone or something else.
Again, the evidence is overwhelming. Even if you stick to nothing but FOX and Rush, eventually they'll be telling you the same thing. You need to get ready for the new story - that the economy IS improving, but it's got nothing to do with Obama. It'll be mildly disconcerting for a day or two, but you'll get over it.
