58% Now Support Repeal Of Health Care Bill.

Quote from hermit:

There clearly is a political component to how Americans view the economy, in particular in terms of their economic outlook. Democrats, whose party controls the White House and both Houses of Congress, are substantially more optimistic about the economy's direction than are Republicans or independents, and have become more so in recent weeks. Republicans, at odds with the president and the Democratic leadership in Congress, are much less likely to agree that the economy is moving in a positive direction.

The timing of the improvement in Democrats' views suggests that passage of the healthcare bill may have helped brighten their economic outlook more generally. In addition to healthcare, there are positive economic signs that could reinforce the view that the economy is improving, including recent increases in consumer spending and retail sales, and the government's March jobs report, which showed the largest job growth in nearly three years.

What a bogus chart. You should be ashamed to paste it.
Make in cumulative, monthly and go back beyond time when the Democrats took over the Congress. You will then wish Bush was still in charge.

Yup, a chart labeled job losses in months is deceptive because only a cumulative chart will make Bush look good. Monthly numbers just dont count, perhaps you should inform this to the markets as well since they tend to react to recent numbers and not cumulative values.
 
It's not a bogus chart but not an entirely fair representation as regardless of who is president the change from a huge decline to tapering decrease to marginal increase in jobs would be similar as the economy pulled out of a recession. It's interesting that people are so quick to attribute the fate of an economy and it's success to one person: the president. In fact if you look at the gdp growth for each president per term there is no significant change for either party. Anyways I would say the poll's reliability is suspect not that it really matters as the reputable polls stated a divided nation over the opinion of healthcare. However I have no idea why anyone is clamoring for repeal because it's not going to happen in 2years and possibly for the next 6 years if ever, as you know it would require the president to sign the bill or a 2/3 overrule. And lastly it's odd that Bush passed one of the largest entitlement program since medicare during his presidency, that being the medicare prescription expansion program at 500 BILLION with barely a whimper.

1. It's not just that "Bush spent money, so why you bitchin' because Obama is spending now?". The medicare bill was not only bi-partisan, it was not perceived as "RAMMED DOWN EVERYBODY'S THROAT", was not perceived as a gigantic Leftist Power Grab, was not perceived as something which "will bankrupt the country", and was not perceived as severely damaging the quality of health care in the USA.

2. Apparently it has escaped you that Obamacare/Tyranny was a "health care smoke screen to disguise a massive Leftist Power Grab"...

THAT'S why we're bitchin'.

You forgot to add this, hermie:

2010 Income falls 3.2% during Obama's term!

Income excluding government payouts increased 12.7 percent during Mr. Bush's eight years in office.

Hope for change is right!

When the people we don't like are failing,
it's because of their character faults.
When the people we like are failing,
it's because of social structures, like government.

When the people we don't like are succeeding,
it's because of social structures, like government.
When the people we like are succeeding,
it's because of their superior character.

Since we all know how income has been such huge upswing for the last so many years, a 3.2% decline amidst severe recession created by the warmongers is such a shocking statistic.

You are a wonderful cherry picker.
