New Poll: Looking Up In 2008?

This week, we ask you if you think 2008 will be a better year than 2007. But first, last week’s results:

Last week, in the aftermath of Chris Dodd’s FISA victory, we asked you whether you thought telecom immunity would pass the Senate when all was said and done. 65% of you thought that it would, saying that Dodd’s filibuster would be nothing but a speed bump for the Senate to roll over. 35% of you thought telecom immunity would not eventually pass.

Tomorrow, 2007 turns itself over to 2008. Many people have big hopes for 2008. It’s an election year, people are hoping for a turnaround in the economy, and people are looking for progress in Iraq, Palestine, and Pakistan. Do you think your life will get better or worse in 2008 compared to 2007? Voting begins now in the sidebar at right.
