Issue: ABC News: Poll: Outlook for 2005 Is Less Bright

Specific: "Optimism for the Year Ahead
Personal Optimism Global Optimism
Dec. 2004 66%54%
Dec. 2003 85 69
Dec. 2002 63 43
Dec. 2001 80 62"

Comment: Note the drop from 85 to 65 percent. Does this indicate a failure in the sampling methodology to take into account the "Red States"? Are they only polling Dems or people in the "Blue" states.
