Majority of Americans Believe Best Days Are Behind

The following poll is amazing.  The majority of Americans just reelected Barack Hussein Obama and kept the Democrats in control of the Senate.  You’d think that there would be a sense of optimism in the coming year.  But you’d be wrong.  Here are the results of a Gallop Poll:

Exactly 50 percent of Americans believe the country’s best days are in the past, while 47 percent believe the best days are yet to come. Only 24 percent of GOP voters and 43 percent of independents believe the best days are still ahead, while 69 percent of Democrats think so. A mere 28 percent of Democrats think our best days are in the past.

In the more immediate future, 65 percent of the country expects 2013 to be a year of “economic difficulty,” despite majorities anticipating increasing employment and “reasonable” increases in prices over the next year. Economists generally expect continued growth in 2013.

Obama’s campaign slogan should have been “Hopeless Change.”
