We have just started hitting goals for inflation and job growth so it makes perfect sense that a poll from 2015 will indicate that the public is discouraged.

edit: look at the CPI chart I posted and you will notice the period of deflation in 2015. Deflation is bad.

And here are some facts that speak about zerohedge's credibility.

Zerohedge merely copy-pasted the original article from gallup http://www.gallup.com/opinion/chairman/195680/invisible-amer...

how to avoid the "zerohedge rebuttal", for future reference

1. go to zerohedge article that raised awareness in the most sensational and comical way since Lehman

2. look for the sources in the zerohedge article

3. quote the source instead
