Nope!

My personal economy is very positive compared to where it was and it has absolutely nothing to do with any politician.

Please stop playing the victim card
and expecting Mitt Romney to save you.
He will not.

That just shows what I have been saying, in that all this monetary creation, serves as thee largest scale trickle down economics ever embarked upon. All this $$ the fed creates, just goes straight to the markets and on up corporate balance sheets. Isn't it AMAZING how you can have next to zero GDP growth, or job growth, yet RECORD corporate profits every Q? That is what monetary creation does. It just funnels money to the top circles where they simply HOARD it. Why bother to expand you business, hire, ext? No need when the $$$ is handed to you by fed policy. The hilarious thing about this all, is the dems and Obama are the ones who are all anti trickle down economics. The reality is you have engaged in THEE largest trickle down policy EVER seen with what the fed is now doing with monetary policy. Sure is working out great for the average person, hey?

Forbes top 400 richest people made more money in 2012. Good for them...they sure don't need Rmoney's tax breaks for the rich....at least the people that make car elevators, like mitt has, will be doing good.

I make x
I spend y
as long as x>y I'm good.

Thanks to a brilliant Obama policy, one of my employers is in bankruptcy reorganization and just laid off several employees. I'm certainly not any better off than I was 4 years ago. I'm optimistic that American will get it right in November and elect a leader who is more concerned about turning this country around than wasting time appearing on day time talk shows with his wife.

And the liberal mainstream media keep him covered, day after day. Don't they have any professional pride? Look at the daily political cartoons on this site, slamming Romney every day while avoiding saying anything negative about Obama.

No and things won't get better unless The Annointed One gets the boot. But people in this country are fooled by him.

NO!

One can be extremely optimistic that the ILLUSION of a good economy will continue as long as the fed CONTINUES to pump in endless printed monetary creation. Since the free $$ policy shows no sign of ever stopping (both parties fully support it), markets will remain strong, corporate profits will continue to break records every quarter (as the created $$ goes straight to corporate balance sheets) and the fed will accomplish exactly what they want in a 'wealth effect', where people BELIEVE things are good, and start to spend more. If one can not see through the illusion, a 'recovery' driven by monetary creation, one will consequently believe things are improving. If one can see through the illusion, it's quite apparent that nothing is improving at all.

No. I am not feeling better about the economy, and I do not feel the economy is improving. I am most certainly not better off than I was 4 years ago. My income has gone down, and I don't see it going up in the near future. The economy will not improve as long as Obama is President, because business and industry do not trust him. The liberal media is only showing the polls they want you to hear. Today the Rasmussen Poll shows Obama and Romney are tied at 46%. You won't hear about that from the liberal media. Obama has created a non-business atmosphere. You can't take from the rich and give to the poor, because you will run out of money.

no

I have no faith in Obama or Rommey. Guess I lose all the way around.

Customer orders and forecasts in the businesses that I deal with are not as strong as they were earlier this year. I suspect that the AP and other sources you mention are just pre-election false confidence. Most troubling to me is how Caterpillar, the largest equipment maker in the world, backed off on their forecasts and earnings for the next 36 months.
