[QUOTE="DPI, post: 1909802, member: 793"] This sheds some light on Obama supporters and the economic knowledge prowess. I do wish the poll was a little more current. [url]http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/09/20/study-only-15-percent-of-democrats-believe-economic-news-is-bad/[/url] Study: Only 15 Percent Of Democrats Believe Economic News Is Bad File photo of GOP nominee Mitt Romney. (credit: NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images) 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 Obamas nearly four years in office. But with those citizens with Republican leanings and no political leanings at all, the outlook remains the same. Sixty percent of Republicans find that most of the economic news is bad. Among independents, the percentage is 36 percent. Both of these data sets remain virtually unchanged from a month ago, according to the study. The study, released on Sept. 11, could show Obama making gains on the economy, which has been what Romney ultimately has wanted to make the election about to this point, crystallized even further in his acceptance of the nomination at the Republican National Convention. Despite Romneys efforts to turn the attention back to the economy following the backlash from the 47 percent video, the data found that some Americans were actually beginning to feel better about the outlook of the economy. The percentage of people who feel that most of what they hear about the economy is bad dropped six percentage points in a month, from 41 percent to 35 percent, according to the study. The survey of 1,012 adults was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press from Sept. 7 through Sept. 9 [/QUOTE]
