Only 15% of Democrats Believe Economic Bad News

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – With just 47 days before the general election and Mitt Romney attempting to pivot the focus of the election back on the state of the economy, citizens with Democratic leanings are actually doing an about-face on the economy compared to their Republican counterparts, according to a recent study from the Pew Research Center.

New data found that just 15 percent of Democrats believe that recent economic news is mostly poor, a percentage that took a significant drop from the 31 percent of Democrats polled last month who did think that economic news was mostly bad. According to the study, the 15-percent clip is among the lowest percentages during President Barack Obama’s nearly four years in office.

The Republicans haven't done an effective job showing how bad the economy is. 8% unemployment? More months of 8% unemployment under Obama than all US presidents combined. No one knows this.

The used car market sucks (thanks in part to Cash for Clunkers) cars wear out and they have to be repaired or replaced. The auctions are more full of junk right now than at any time I've seen in my 18 years of being in the business. People are keeping their cars until there are catastrophic and expensive issues... no, not everybody, but the FACT is, dealers are fighting over the scraps at the auction and the prices are much too high. People are nervous about the economy imo and buying a new car may just be more of a necessity than it is a feeling of "YAAA!, Everything is great!!".

New cars are being bought but more Hyundais than Hondas. More Kia's than GM Volts. And like H said used car prices are crazy high! I was looking at a Toyota FJ Cruiser lasy year and some of the prices on the three year old ones were higher than the new ones.

And if Cash for Clunkers was such a great idea, why is nobody proposing round two? Too much of a good thing?
