Object: Consumer Confidence Skids for Third Straight Month
Edwards Statement on Consumer Confidence
For Immediate Release

Minneapolis, MN - Senator John Edwards released the following statement today:
“Today's consumer confidence report is further evidence that the American people
are not fooled by George Bush's rhetoric that the economy is strong and getting
stronger. At this point, the only way to boost consumer confidence is to boot
George Bush out of office.”
Facts:
The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index Fell for the Third Straight
Month in A Row in October, to 92.8, from 96.8 in September. Consumer confidence
fell for the third straight month in October to 92.8, its lowest level since
March 2004. The current reading is 15 percent lower than its average during
the 2001 recession (106.6) and 43 percent below far below the average for
1997-2000 (132.8). The share of respondents saying business conditions are
“good” declined to only 21.7 percent while those saying conditions are “bad”
increased. In October only 16.5% of respondents believed that there would be
more jobs available in coming months.
The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey Registered a Sharp Decline
in October, Falling To Its Lowest Level in 18 Months. The survey’s preliminary
reading was down 6.7 points from 94.2 in September to 87.5 in October. This
was the third straight month of decline; the last month to register a lower
level of consumer confidence was April 2003. Consumers’ expectations about the
economy are particularly bleak, with the expectations component of the index
falling 10% in October to 79.6.
The Share of People Who Think the Economy Is Getting Worse is At Its Highest
Level Since March 2003, According to the Most Recent ABC News/Money Magazine
Consumer Index. The share of respondents who said the economy is getting worse
rose four percentage points last week to 42%, matching a high in March 2003.
The survey’s index of current economic conditions has fallen four points over
the past month and currently stands at -11, below its historical average.

I know. You have to be willing to look
before you can see.

Here it is one more time.
Exit poll results from the 2000 election
indicate that the stupid tend to vote
Democratic. It's available at CNN's web
site. Note that people with no High
School Degree voted for Gore 59% to
Bush 39%. That is the largest spread
of any education bracket.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Vote by education:
Post-graduate degree
Bush 44%
Gore 52%
BTW,
Education doesn't mean much, since Republican idiots
typically BUY their degrees, Bush being a good example.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Vote by education:

We were discussing how stupid people
vote, not those with post graduate degrees.
Your attempt to shift the topic is
evidence of a weak position.

Post-graduate degree

Bush 44%
Gore 52%

Irrelevant, but skewed by all the teachers who vote
Democratic.

BTW,

Education doesn't mean much,

How old are you? What country were
you born in?

since Republican idiots
typically BUY their degrees, Bush being a good example.

This is typically stupid.

Then your link is absolutely irrelevant, Boob...

Post-graduate degree

Bush 44%
Gore 52%


Irrelevant, but skewed by all the teachers who vote
Democratic.

So, you really have no way to back your claim that
stupid people vote Democratic. We knew it.

How old are you? What country were
you born in?

None of your business.

since Republican idiots
typically BUY their degrees, Bush being a good example.


This is typically stupid.

....but so true.
