Poll: 75% of the people in the United States believe that the economy is poor, and 34% say that the economy and employment are the most important. The current situation of the U.S. economy appears malnourished. It cannot create enough job opportunities and cannot lower the U.S. unemployment rate below 7%. The United States created only 148,000 new jobs in September this year. Five years after the recession, the U.S. economy is still in a bleak situation. A poll conducted this week by ABC News and the Washington Post found that 75 percent of the American people think the economy is "not very good" or "very bad," and only 2 percent say the economy is good. Some people infer that the 2 percent who give such favorable judgments may work on Wall Street, because the stock market is excellent, and people who work in this environment are infected with an optimistic atmosphere. Voters will understand what's really going on with the U.S. economy. Republican strategist David Stone said: "I have conducted surveys among several groups of people, and they only recognize one data, which is the unemployment rate. They are all very familiar with it. They understand that the unemployment rate announced by the current government underestimates the actual situation, but people in the workplace know it very well." All polls tell the same story, which is to "motivate voters." A poll conducted by CBS News and the New York Times showed that 34% of Americans believe that the economy and employment are the most important issues facing the United States; in contrast, only 8% believe that health care is important, and 6% believe that the budget deficit and federal debt are important. However, politicians active in Washington are not that concerned about the crisis of insufficient employment opportunities; their energy is devoted to the struggle between the two parties. They try to defeat the other party ideologically on the budget, the federal debt ceiling, and "Obamacare" issues, and adopt "scorched-earth wars" tactics. Politicians are not so enthusiastic about issues such as immigration reform and global climate change that really require serious legislation. Next week, the Senate and the House of Representatives will begin a new round of budget negotiations. This will be the first serious budget negotiation in four years and will discuss issues such as reducing the federal deficit. Job creation is not the main focus of discussion. Of course, reducing the budget deficit is the key to making the economy healthier; however, the U.S. economy grew only 0.2% for the whole year, which will not help reduce the budget deficit or increase employment opportunities.
