Election 2004 Summary

Welcome

 

Seven Day Tracking Data is based upon interviews with 3,500 American Adults over the seven days preceding the release date. Approximately 1,600 Investors are included in the sample.

Due the larger sample size and elimination of possible Day-of-Week bias, Seven Day Tracking Data provides a less volatile measure of economic conditions than the Three-Day Tracking Data.

At points in the late 1990s, more than 70% of Americans rated the economy as good or excellent. That sentiment fell to the 50% range when George W. Bush took office in January 2001 and then collapsed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In early March 2003, fewer than 20% of Americans rated the economy as good or excellent.
