The good and bad of the USA Today/Gallup Poll on the economy

Most Americans think that the stimulus had either no impact or a bad one.


My guess is that part of this is that 68 percent of the people think that a year from now the economy will still be in a recession or worse.


I think that these last numbers will prove quite wrong and unfortunately that will mean that more people will incorrectly give the government spending the credit for the improved economy. For my take on all this, see here.
