Reagan’s image NEW YORK (AP) - Increas ing misgivings about the na tion's economic future may be hurting Pres Reagan's image, according to the latest As sociated Press-NBC News poll The poll says that while Reagan maintains the approval rating for his overall perfor mance in office, Americans believe he is not doing as good a |ob in handling the economy The poll, a scientific random sampling of 1,598 adults by telephone last Sunday and Monday, also said there is growing pessimism about the economy over the next year Fifty-one percent of the re spondents said Reagan is doing a good or excellent job as pres ident, but only 39 percent — the lowest economic approval rating during his presidency and down from 45 percent a month ago — said he is doing a good or excellent job in handling the economy The poll also said there has been a sharp drop in optimism about the economy Twenty three percent said the economy will get better during the next year, while 41 percent said it will get worse, 33 percent said it will stay the same and 3 percent were not sure In comparison, five previous AP-NBC News polls this year had an average of 38 percent saying the economy will get better and only 22 percent say ing it will get worse over the next year However, the latest AP-NBC News poll said there had been little change from previous months in respondents' opin ions about the future of their personal family finances: 20 percent said they will be better off during the next year, 26 percent said they will be worse off, 52 percent said they will be about the same and 2 percent were unsure. But there was continued slip page in respondents' opinions about whether Reagan really cares about people like them Forty-seven percent agreed with the statement: "Ronald Recession slides deeper WASHINGTON (AP) - An "especially steep plunge" in a key government index foretells a national economy already in a mild recession sinking even deeper in the next few months, a top Commerce Department of ficial said Thursday "The only real question is how far it is going to drop," said Assistant Secretary Robert Dederick But Dederick and other an alysts inside and outside the government say they don't fore see a downturn as sharp as last year’s recession The Commerce Department said Thursday that the govern ment's Index of Leading Indica tors fell 2.7 percent in Sep tember, the biggest drop since April 1980 Since April 1981, the index has fallen 5.5 percent Dederick said the new decline is "an especially steep plunge" in the index, which is designed to forecast future trends of the economy. "The report strongly suggests that industrial production will be sliding into the autumn and that real gross national product will be down for the third successive quarter Any upturn is unlikely before early 1982 "The iffy question," he said, “is whether it is going to turn around in the first quarter or the second" of next year The Labor Department reported Thursday that over-all business productivity fell at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the third quarter, the biggest de cline since the first quarter of 1978 Reagan has shown he really cares about me," In September’s poll, 52 per cent agreed with that statement. In July, 56 percent agreed Respondents who said their family finances and the overall economy would improve in the next year were more likely to say Reagan cares about them As with all sample surveys, the results of AP-NBC News polls can vary from the opinion of all Americans because of chance variations in the sample SUPER VALUE COUPON 20 EXP DEVELOPING AND PRINTING • 20 exposure color print film developed and printed • C 41 process only $3.29 Oi» Coupon Per Customer Redeemable Cash Value 1/20 of One Cent COUPON MUST ACCOMPANY ORDfR Offer Expires 10/31 uo BOOKSTORE 13th & Kincaid Mon-Fri 8:15-5:30 Sat 10:00-5:30 Textbooks MS-3520 General Books 6M-3510 Supplies 686-4331 One day film developing service n First Baptist Church Broadway & High 345-0341 Coming, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8!
