Not a Pretty Picture

In "Poll: On Economy, (Still) More Negatives Than Positives," the Washington Post's Behind the Numbers blog summarizes the results of a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Not surprisingly (to Financial Armageddon readers, anyway), it's not a pretty picture [italics mine]:

Overall, nearly nine in 10 rate the economy "not so good" or "poor," and while three in 10 see improvement, the same figure say things are getting worse. Among all adults, three in 10 say the government's efforts to stimulate the economy have helped, with about one in 10 seeing "a great deal" of progress from the government's efforts.
