Americans are Getting What We Deserve

Confidence in the United States economy has seen a modest uptick since before the U.S. election, recent polling shows, though Americans are still far from optimistic about the country's financial future under Trump.

Gallup's latest Economic Confidence Index (ECI), calculated from a poll of 1,005 adults conducted from January 2 to 5, is at -19, suggesting the public's continued gloom about the economy. Although lower than December's -14 reading, this represents an improvement from -26 in late October.

Here's the real kicker, though...

However, the firm notes that the ECI improvement has been primarily driven by increased enthusiasm among Republicans, which has climbed 30 points to -42 since before the election, tempered by an identical drop in Democrats' confidence.

So many idiots are so blindly adherent to their "team" that something changing minimally over a matter of months shows a flip flop in the perception by a significant number of people. This will be an interesting metric to watch moving forward, especially once Trump starts claiming he's built the 'greatest economy ev-UH' in the next few months. I'm betting in March...
