I don't take big gambles, actually one of my Son-in-laws is my financial advisor........I might fire him soon.......(just kidding he has made me a lot of money in th nineties)
Well, at the time of this post 80.22% of us are better off today than we were this time three years ago.
My bet is that the republicans won't be asking this question very much on the campaign trail.
The poll in DP does not reflect at all how people feel nationally when polled.........
prove it.
show us a recent poll asking Americans if they are better off today than they were 3 years ago.

This is not a scientific poll.
Are... you... being serious anymore? Just pretend for one second you're still a rational person who is looking at things from a perspective that is non-partisan. Are you REALLY using a poll where one guy deleting his browser cookies could have voted over and over again?
What I find interesting is that most of those who are doing worse in this forum are right-leaning politically.
Hmmmm .............My stock portforlio is about where it was 3 years ago so I have only hold my own there..........
I suspect you're right. That's the reason online polls like this one are completely meaningless.I'm sure a lot of them are just saying that because they want to claim Obama made it worse. That's the only reason NP posted the poll in the first place, after all.
Hmmmm ....

If you're incapable of making money in the stock market over the last 3 years, you should fire whomever it is who manages your portfolio immediately.
April 2009, Pasch is still in college and the future is bright and exciting.
April 2012, Pasch has gone through two years of law school after his bachelor's degree getting him only slightly better than minimum wage. Pasch is way further in debt now, and is really hoping that he'll be able to find work once he has a graduate level degree, support himself, and pay off his loans.

Can you point me to where the 99% have claimed they were excluded from making financial gains in the stock market?But...but...but I thought only the 1% realized gains from an improving market. How does this improve the other 99%
Can you point me to where the 99% have claimed they were excluded from making financial gains in the stock market?
Yes, I'm better off than 3 years ago.
I'm a public school teacher whose pay has increased every year since I started working. I bought my house a couple years and and I'm on my way to paying off my student loans.
Then who is it that claims the 99% are excluded from making gains from the market?If you will please point out precisely where I stated they were 'excluded' from anything.
I had a buddy graduate law school in 2008. He worked tables for a year and a half before a crappy law position opened up under a boss that was universally loathed. Good luck Pash.

If you are or not explain in what way.

Democrats wouldn't want to ask us that question here either. In fact, they would be smart to not bother.
