TheStreet.com RealMoney Barometer survey is reflecting the market's downturn last week. The bulls just barely clung to their fourth straight poll this week, scoring 40%, or 193 of the 481 votes cast. The bears got 39%, or 188 votes, while neutral came in at 21% with 100 votes. In the sectors, energy equipment and services once again was selected as most likely to rise, with airlines seen as most likely to fall. Last week, the Dow fell 2.4%, the S&P 500 lost 1.8%, and the Nasdaq slumped 1.3%. Below are the complete poll results.
