Introduction

A recent consumer confidence survey said that 87 % of democrats think the economy is good, while only 37% of republicans did. Back in 20 19, the gulf actually cut the other direction, where republics thought the economy was great and democrats thought it sucked. We used to partially decide whether or not we thought our party was doing a good job by first looking to the economy, but now we decide if the economy isgood by first looking at the party that's in power. Ideology is the pair of glasses that everybody is wearing.
