Gallup Asks the Classic Reagan Question: Finds Most Say Things Have Not Improved Under Bush
By E&P Staff Published: January 27, 2006 1:15 PM ET
NEW YORK On the eve of the State of the Union message, Gallup pollsters last week posed the question Ronald Reagan asked in 1980 when he was running against Jimmy Carter for president: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?"The reply from Americans represents "a strong rebuke of the Bush era," Gallup declared today, with nearly two-thirds saying things have gotten worse in the past five years. Only 28% say things have improved.In reply to another question, 35% said they were "satisfied" with the direction of the country, and 65% are dissatisfied. Does this represent merely the lingering fallout from 9/11? Not likely, since only 3% cited "terrorism" and 2% "homeland security" as a main reason for offerign negative views. Most often cited as evidence that things have gotten worse: Iraq (cited by 26%) and "the economy" (24%)...........

The Bush 'Era'? Jesus, do we have to call it an 'Era'? I hate to think of this guy as having any kind of 'Era'.
dark cloud instead?
I'm surprised that ONLY 28% are saying things improved. Keep in mind that this guy won an overwhelming popular vote victory a little over a year ago. A vast swath of the country is impervious to the obvious downside to the Bush era. There is a sign on Route 80W going into Pennsylvania at the Delaware Water Gap (unless someone took it down) that says "America Starts Here". I does start getting different as you drive West--ever been to Tobyhanna, PA? ,:^(
That should be "it" starts getting different, though "I" do too. ,:^)
i don't think he DID win the vote. no, i've not been to tobyhanna pa. lol. i've not been to pa at all since i was a child!
I believe he is the first person since Al Gore to rake in the majority of the popular vote--something Clinton never did. I may be all wet.
i'm not going to challenge you on this, you'd make mincemeat out of me. HOWEVER, i WOULD challenge you any day to a tv/movie trivia contest and i'd mop the floor with ya (or not..............lol)
