I can't vote in this poll because I don't see this choice:
No, but the economy isn't perfect.

That would be choice #3- where you are happy, regardless of what happens.

Hell, no, there's no recession in sight. If you ask people who work for FEDEX, UPS or the postal service, they will tell you people are still ordering gobs of stuff as they struggle to get it all delivered. And the Christmas rush is almost here.

OH, come on give Hillary a break, man. After all, it's a fact that when a Democrat president is in office the stock market does better. Just take a look at how much higher percentage wise the stock market went up under 8 years of President Clinton and then compare it to how Bush has done. I rest my case.

The stock market is not the indicator of a recession. A recession is four qurters of negative economic growth.

And that's not happening. Quite the contrary actually:

It'll get worse before the election. Then after the country is reassured when a Democrat is elected , it will get better. But we may have a rough year before the election.
