Same poll always gives sizable advantage to Dems on "Looking out for the middle class," but usually gives advantage to GOP on "Dealing with the economy." WTF?

Same poll usually gives GOP sizable advantage on "Dealing with foreign policy" when their answer to everything foreign is bombs, bombs, and more bombs. WTF?

I personally wouldn't use the stock market as a barometer of general economic health, but I guess it does allow for colorful charts that even a child can read.
