59% of Americans think life for the middle class has gotten worse over the past ten years

The White House website proclaims that "President Bush's actions are moving our economy forward."  The Bush administration may think that, but most Americans don't.  According to the latest CBS News poll, released earlier this week, 57% of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy.  More importantly, Americans think things are getting worse for the middle class:

The last few years have seen economic gains for the wealthiest Americans, at least in part resulting from tax cuts and investment gains, and many Americans are living well — buying large homes, expensive cars and luxury products. But has any of this wealth trickled down to the middle class?

According to the latest CBS News Poll, most Americans — and most of those with mid-range incomes — don't think so; instead, many think the middle class has experienced tougher times. 59% think that life for middle class Americans has gotten worse in the last 10 years. Just 30% think it’s gotten better.

Something isn't working for the middle class.
