There are some encouraging numbers for Dems in the new NYT/CBS poll , but the really important part of the poll was how Americans perceive the liberal policy agenda in general. Jonathan Cohn explained :
If you think that the solutions to most of these problems necessarily involve creating new government programs or strengthening existing ones-in other words, if you're a liberal like me - probably the most encouraging finding is the response to this question: "Would you rather have a smaller government providing fewer services, or a bigger government providing more services?

(2008-04-04) -- The most recent New York Times/CBS News Poll indicates that while 81 percent of Americans think " things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track ", roughly 48 percent have decided to stay in the United States anyway.
The survey also indicates that more than 70 percent said their personal financial situation was " fairly good or very good ", but only 21 percent think " the overall economy is in good condition " thanks to the well-known economic principle that individual prosperity produces collective misery.

The March employment data was much worse than expected: NonFarm Payroll down 80,000, Unemployment Rate 5.1%, all prior revisions worsen than previous releases.
Let me be blunt: There is no way to spin these numbers, though that won't stop the usual syncophants and junkies from trying. Only the 21% who think the country is on the right track will deny the employment situation is weak, and that the odds now favor that we are in a recession.

By all accounts, George W. Bush was determined to win reelection and thus avoid a repeat of his father's embarrassing defeat. Unfortunately, they say the sins of the father shall be visited upon the son. If true, the declining economy at the close of this Bush administration may well be a revisiting of his father's misfortune. While George W. Bush may have charted a different course than his father, he appears to be arriving at the same destination.
While the promise of the senior Bush to enact no new taxes is thought to have been a key component of his downfall; the cutting of taxes by his son was touted as the ultimate economic elixir.

The new CBS / NYT poll shows that 81% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, possibly so high because of gas prices. That's not all that much of a surprise. The same poll shows both Obama and Clinton beating McCain by 47/42 and 48/43 respectively. That is something of a surprise, given that the Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls have McCain comfortably ahead of either Democrat.
Perhaps the CBS / NYT results are not surprising, given that the sample is skewed almost 3:2 Democrat to Republican, with fully 41% of the respondents Democrat and a mere 26% GOP.

Hillary Clinton's campaign raised half that amount, and her campaign is being completely outspent where it counts: in upcoming primary states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina (In PA, for instance, Hillary has a $500,000 television buy in the field, versus $3 million in television and radio ads for Obama.) To her credit, Clinton has raised $175 million so far in the campaign. Trouble is, Obama has raised $240 million, and her donor base, which has by and large given in larger individual amounts, is getting tapped out, while her fundraisers are expressing exhaustion, rather than enthusiasm.

The dissatisfaction is especially striking because public opinion usually hits its low point only in the months and years after an economic downturn, not at the beginning of one.

Nice title, don't you think? But I can't claim it.
It caught my eye in the 21 March Science magazine, in the Reports section in the back of the magazine. It's available in pdf from the University of Chicago School of Business. While much research has examined the effect of income on happiness, we suggest that how people spend their money may be at least as important as how much money they earn. Specifically, we hypothesized that spending money on other people may have a more positive impact on happiness than spending money on oneself.

Overheard today: a previously-steadfast African American female Clinton supporter I know (a demographic match-up that's rare to find here in Chicago) talking to a friend about how she wanted Clinton to drop out. The reason, she said, was because of Obama's gigantic fundraising edge. Sure, it was just one person, but I was shocked to hear her say it, given her earlier outspoken advocacy for Clinton, which is probably not too easy for somebody living on the South Side to have in the first place.
Still, she expressed doubts that the country is really ready to elect an African American as president.

After all, whether you or I think we're in a recession doesn't matter. We may have thoughts on whether we're headed to a recession. But being in a recession is a technical term determined through a specific process.
So there's the question is again, in the new New York Times/CBS poll.

Only 21 percent of respondents said the overall economy was in good condition, the lowest such number since late 1992, when the recession that began in the summer of 1990 had already been over for more than a year.

The United States was undertaking the major military operation, he explained, to enforce a United Nations resolution calling for an end to hostilities, and to stem the spread of communism in Asia. In addition to ordering U.S. forces to Korea, Truman also deployed the U.S. 7th Fleet to Formosa (Taiwan) to guard against invasion by communist China and ordered an acceleration of military aid to French forces fighting communist guerrillas in Vietnam.
