I suppose it gives some hope but the polls certainly have not shown it. My belief is if unemployment was under 8 Obama would be way ahead. Hard to quantify this but FDR did not have a problem when unemployment was high. We had a meltdown and the democrats have been able to frame the argument well.
All 3 trackers have shown significant improvements post convention. Gallup shows 3 points on a 7 day rolling with the 3 day job approval skyrocketing up to 52 42 spread. You can come back and say bad sample or bad polling but no mistaking movement. Rasmussen has moved along with Rueters a similar amount.
I still believe it is about the candidates. Obama comes off more likable and transparent to the voters. It does not matter what we believe. Romney is running a horrible campaign and ran a horrible convention.
I disagree. We’ll see.
Just wanted to bump this thread so Harwood could see his folly.
Yes, I do have it on good authority that Harwood reads FR.
I can see November from my Lanai.
