WASHINGTON -- Some of the economic numbers may be looking up, but a lot of Americans aren't convinced.
A new survey found that people to be generally skeptical about the economy and worried about the cost of gas, heating oil and health care.
A lot of it seems to depend on political affiliation.
More than half of Republicans, 56 percent, in the poll said economic conditions are excellent or good, while 28 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats felt that way.
The poll was conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Its director, Andrew Kohut, said he was surprised by the gap between the parties.
About a third of the people who were surveyed said economic conditions are excellent or good.
Sixty-four percent said they're only fair or poor.
Economists generally look for slightly slower economic growth this year under the impact of high energy costs and rising interest rates.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn

Brian, a big or biggest chunk of our economy belongs to Bangalore, India. Ask any Bank of America employee (oops, you gotta travel to Bangalore to talk to Bank of America employees).
What part of "We don't owe our jobs to India" are you unable to understand, Senator?

That's because alot of Republicans still believe what the GOP and the Wacko say. It's not because they're making more money or have more savings or less debt. It's just "optimism" without foundation.
Also, it's an attitude among Republicans that if "you can't say something nice, don't say anything".
We have to C H A N G E our attitudes with "pollsters".
