Americans Say They Are Better Off Since Obama Took Office

Bloomberg has just come out with polling stating if the election were held today Obama would win 53% to 40%. What a hoot. If I watched MSNBC this would be front page headlines.
Big Fur Hat has done some detailed work and has obtained the questions and who was surveyed. It(the polling) now makes sense.

Forty-five percent of those surveyed in a Bloomberg National Poll say they are better off than at the beginning of 2009 compared with 36 percent who say they are worse off.
So, I went to there methodology (Attachment: Poll Results), and once again an idiot can figure out that these are push polls.
13% polled are under 25.
22% are under 30.
So, they are better off than they were 3 years ago when they were either in high school, college, or working at the local deli smelling the cheese to see if it went bad.
45% are unmarried.
Pretty hard to fug up your finances when you have no dependents.
64% did not have children living with them.
44% did not work full time.
29% were minorities.
36% had a household income below 50K
