Forty-eight percent (48%) of Americans believe the country is still in a recession, while 30% say it is not. Among investors, 46% say the country is in a recession while 38% disagree. For non-Investors, those numbers are 49% and 25%. This according to the Rasmussen Poll. He is well regarded BUT he also polls by phone. This figure on "investors" is probably why we are in a trading range right now, too many poeple are hiding out and paying no attention to the actual numbers. These are the "investors" who are always wrong no matter what they do. But these numbers are from one of the top polling people around.
