If people like Krugman were being purely partisan, the polling of the American public would show different numbers in categories like: "are you better off this year than last", or "do you think the economy is going in the right direction". Nonsense. Krugman's level of partisanship doesn't have a strong connection to such responses to the polls, and to the extent it has any connection, his partisan rants against the administration would increase the negative responses about it. Wrong. For years, people like Krugman were complaining about things they saw as bad and Americans didn't believe them. Only when the things he complained about became more visible did Americans get it and started to reflect that change of opinion in the polls. See, Tim, you've picked up a bad habit from the GOP. When someone doesn't agree with your position, or worse, criticizes your position, you automatically call them partisan.
