New Poll Shows Americans Increasingly Optimistic About The Economy

Two days after the State of the Union, an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll out Thursday shows that more Americans are optimistic that the economy is improving: “More people said they believe the economy will get better (37 percent) in the next year rather than worse (17 percent). That’s the highest level in more than a year and a seven-point jump over last month.” The more the think this, the better it is for Obama.
