U.S. economy in overdrive
(CNN) – The U.S. economy is running in overdrive. The DOW closed above 18,000 for the first time ever Tuesday, and is up a thousand points this month alone.
Gas prices are at near record lows, dipping below $2/gallon in some places.
A new CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday shows 51% of the people surveyed believe the economy is in good shape, compared to just 38% in October.
The Washington Post's Jim Tankersley breaks down the significance of the numbers in the video above.
