Eighty-seven percent of Democrats in New Hampshire, according to exit polls, say the economy is not so good or poor. That’s nearly nine out of ten Democrats. The unemployment rate in New Hampshire is 3.4 percent, making it the ninth strongest state in job terms in the country. It has not been hit hard, according to most reports, by the sub-prime mortgage crisis. The per-capita income of $38,000 per year is the seventh-best among states in the country, and it has the fewest number of people in poverty of any state in the union. What on earth are they talking about? Doesn’t a voter’s feelings about the economy have to comport with some minimal sense of reality, of life as it is actually lived by the voter himself and his neighbors?
