The percentage of voters believing that the country is better off since Barack Obama became president jumped seven points after the two political conventions, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Thirty-eight percent of registered voters now say the nation is better off, which is up from 31 percent in the August NBC/WSJ poll conducted before the conventions.
Still, a plurality of voters -- 41 percent -- believe the country is worse off, while 21 percent think it's in the same place.

Let’s see, am I better off since the OB was elected.

I can be detained with no right of habeus corpus
Why hell yes I am better off (/off Sarcasm)
Mitt Romney is not the only candidate in the race.
video of burning U.S. Embassies and of the beaten, violated corpses of American diplomats being dragged through the streets -belongs to the other candidate.
Would be a neat trick as according to Nielsen virtually no one watched those conventions.
With 47% freeloading, lowlifes riding in the wagon while the rest of us have to pull, it’s easy to understand why the Kenyan Marxist has a shot at a second term. Freebies trump freedom with the new “americans” now infesting this once great country.
Nice chart. I read it as Romney by about 4.
