separate plastic bag and all of those things contribute to making it more convenient to travel by car and less expensive. >> cnn has a poll out today on how americans feel about the economy. according to this poll for may 17th and 18th, in december 26% of americans thought economic conditions were good. that number has gone up. in march it was 31%. now it's 33%. so people are slightly more confident about the economy since december. is this tracking the same data that you have at triple-a? >> i think that's consistent. again, if you think about the context of memorial day this year and memorial day last year, there really isn't a significant difference in the number of overall travelers. what's more obvious is the sharper decline as it rellas to air. again, if you think about the increase in the cost of air travel and the hassle factor, i think that explains why more people are opting for cars rather than airplanes.
