New L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll finds deep-seated worries over the economy
The presidential campaign enters its final six-week leg with the public deeply troubled about the state of the U.S. economy, the results of a new L.A. Times/Bloomberg poll show.

The Ticket can't reveal the precise results quite yet; for that, check back at LATimes.com about 5 p.m. EDT (2 p.m. PDT). But suffice to say that the concern over the nation's general economic condition in the wake of the turmoil roiling Wall Street is striking.

Those interviewed for the survey, conducted Friday through Monday, were somewhat more sanguine when asked if they felt more or less secure financially than six months ago. But still, the poll results for this question drive home the degree to which public confidence in the economy has been shaken.

The poll also found that Americans are far from sold on the government riding to the rescue of ailing private financial firms. And it gauged opinion on which candidate -- Barack Obama or John McCain -- is best equipped to deal with the business crisis as president.

2. It will be curious to see how much this poll differs...

From Gallup's tracking poll results today, considering they cover nearly the same time span.

However, if Obama doesn't do well in this poll (i.e. if voters for some reason thinks McCain has any shred of credibility re: the economy), I will be worried (which I hadn't been thus far).
