A good morning for the U.S. economy

[impik]

If Obama's improving poll numbers are a reflection of where people think the economy is headed, then Tuesday morning's batch of indicators might keep the president's bounce going right up until next week's State of the Union address.


•Jobless claims fell sharply.
•Existing home sales jumped more than expected.
•The closely watched survey of manufacturing conditions released every month by the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank indicated continued industrial growth.
•The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators rose by 1 percent in December, compared to November.
