pretty well

The No. 1 issue in the election this year was the economy, which most people think is bad, even if a number of macroeconomic indicators—which can go to hell—suggest that it’s doing pretty well.

“Every shot I had to take into account if I was playing with or against the wind. I left a couple of putts out there today, but overall I did pretty well. I like this course and I’ve played it a lot... it’s flat, there aren’t any tricks. It’s great to win, but it’s sort of bittersweet because this is my last one.”

It seems to be working out pretty well so far.

“Polls did pretty well, and performance seems to be getting better as the vote-counting continues,” Dr. Christopher Wlezien, a professor of government at the University of Texas in Austin, told Salon.

"My perspective on life has changed massively. I am more thankful, I'm more grateful for each day. It's been a tough year and it's going to be tough ahead in the future too but for now, right here right now, we're doing pretty well."
