I've made the point that while the recession is hurting segments of the economy, there are segments that should be suffering no ill effects. People with steady, safe jobs who didn't overpay for their house or take out an exotic mortgage may have suffered some deterioration in their retirement plans but ought to otherwise be doing okay.
Still, I wonder just how 7% of respondents rate the economy as good or excellent. Are they ignorant of what is going on? Are their expectations so low that this counts as good? Or are they incapable of looking outside their own situation?
