Yep. Don't have much to add, but I see a real decline in optimism about the future. Even here in economically blasted Appalachia where you might figure folks are used to this sort of thing. Political ads are more rabid than ever to resonate with that sort of dissatisfaction. "Who can be blamed? Immigrants, minorities, slackers, socialists?"
