The latest jobs report was downright ugly. Lots of people seem to agree on that. The economy only added 38,000 jobs in May, well below the 219,000 average over the prior 12 months.
It's the latest in what has been a mixed bag of economic reports, and if past voting trends are any guide, more bad news could be a drag on Hillary Clinton in November.
Several analyses have suggested that a better economy in the months just before Election Day helps the sitting president's party. In tougher economic times, meanwhile, voters are more likely to punish the sitting president's party.

Media won’t report on the bad economy, did they even report on the job numbers for May, other than Fox News I never even saw it reported anywhere else..like the media motto is, if they dont report it, it never happened
Capitalism is a communist term.
The topic is a no-brainer.
Without the housing crash, Obama would most likely not have been elected.
Any major economic downturn severely hurts the party in power.
Yes, Free market, or maybe natural market in todays PC, is a better term.
Is there really any honest media left... Anywhere?
Correct.
And rest assured the crash was orchestrated to get this result.
Trump will do their job for them and provide instant fact checks as they try yo perpetuate the lies....
You can only fudge the numbers for so long before they need to be reset.
Liberal elites are manipulative liars. The 'jobs number' will be JUST WONDERFUL right before the election.
Oh, and NPR? They shill for democrats... and they hate us. Any 'concern' they have for us is a lie - the illusion used to bolster their position. I would trust the New York Times more... (which is to say - 'not at all')
I see free markets and capitalism inter change words.
Thanks for your reply:
>>>”I see free markets and capitalism inter change words.”
It may be a distinction without a difference; however, “capitalism” has some negative connotations - underserved. I like to describe it as free markets, natural markets, freedom to choose.. etc.
So when some criticize or advocate ‘government do something about..” it can be better argued as limiting your freedom, government choosing for you, trusting politicians to run your life, etc.
What happened today in a few House primaries could be a preview for the November election.

Nah, I disagree. It’s closer to Hanlon’s Razor: incompetence, stupidity, big-government politics. Pick your redundancy.
Due to government policies, mortgage securities went from a least risky investment to risky. The rest was inevitable; timing was not political but market-based: when the balloons hit.
I guess that means interest rates are not going up.
Capitalism is a communist term.>> coined by Marx if i recall. I prefer mercantilism.
Can you give me a link? I’ve totally missed the ‘house’ primary vote.
