weird how close these numbers are to the overall polling on the economy.



why, it's almost like this perfectly explains everyone's perception of the economy without having to resort to insane conspiracy theories about the media tricking people!

perception is a funny thing. you see, surveys show that perceptions of the economy are heavily influenced by politics, and that this bias is two and a half times stronger for republicans than for democrats. what this means is that when a democrat is in the white house, republicans will rate the economy so badly that it will skew the average perception towards "very bad", even if that doesn't match reality

and since this subforum has a strong anti-liberal bias (probably stronger than conservatives' anti-liberal biases) we can easily see why this thread's participants strongly believe things like "things are worse today than in 2008-2009" and "we're actually in a recession and the government is lying with their metrics"

americans are traveling by air at record rates, so airline ticket prices do matter. maybe not if you're a shut-in doomer though ;)
