Reply #5: What's up with these statistics [View All]

[TheEuclideanOne]

I am always amazed at statistics, usually at the ones that vote against the obvious.

So if you think about the following statistics....

90% thinks the economy has gotten worse in the last 12 months
77% percent think that obama will have a tougher time than a normal president

It means that...
10% don't think that the economy has gotten worse. They would probably have voted the same way during the great depression.
23% don't think that obama will have a tougher time than a normal presidency. Hmmm. What would it take for these people to think that a presidency is more difficult than the norm? I can go into details on the second one, but is that really necessary?
