… I looked at 11 different ways in which Gallup has measured Americans’ views of the economy in recent months. These measures range from the very broad (economic conditions in the U.S.) to the very personal (your personal financial situation). The key finding: Republicans are more positive than Democrats in their responses to every measure. In other words, Americans’ political identities clearly reflect the way they look at the nation’s economic situation and the way they evaluate their own personal financial situations. CONT.
