Democrats won't take much comfort in the latest data from the Gallup Economic Confidence Index. The polling firm found that "immediately following the sharp drop in the U.S. stock market that occurred on June 29," American confidence in the economy took a nosedive.  In fact, we are on track to register the largest single one-month drop since Black October 2008, which arguably cost Senator John McCain the election. The only silver lining that the ruling party can look to here is that it's still a few months until November.
