Regarding good economic news, public opinions about the economy are very much a lagging indicator... and tend to lag especially when jobs do. In late 1983 the economy was in a huge expansion but Mondale managed to tie Reagan in the polls due to the lagging job market. Same thing in 1992, although the expansion was not so huge then, it had nevertheless run a year and a half between March of '91 and November '92. And most people polled in 1995 would probably still have said the economy was bad.
