And yet polls show O winning with his job approval up to 50 %.

Still Bush’s fault, huh?
I guess the “give me more time to fix the bad Bush economy” bullshit is working, because people KNOW it’s bad out there yet .....

Some of this might be due the stock market.. Just remember, October is coming and there usually a pretty big correction during month of October. .Especially this year as it is artificially high.. I bet when it does, obama approval goes through the floor.

We STILL haven't recovered from Herbert Hoover.

0bama still has a lot of work to do to move us to recovery from Hoovers mess.

Yep. No other explanation for economic indicators vs polling.

Romney should be looping ads of Bozo saying, “If I don’t have this fixed it’s a one term prop and shovel ready wasn’t so shovel ready ha ha”. 24/7.

Along with the donkey and carrot tactics which are apparently luring the gimme voters back into the noose.

Free birth control! Free health care! Abortion on demand!

The demographic that is apparently falling for these tactics will be responsible for the economic collapse that is looming ever closer.

It will be sad to see the republic fall as a result of the whims of immature, self-interested voters who apparently don't understand basic math, never mind economics, and view the government as a bottomless piggy bank to which they need add nothing, but from which they are entitled to unlimited largesse.

And 46% will be happy if Obama keeps us in recession.

“60% Say U.S. Economy is in Recession”

While 40% is on welfare and food stamps and could care less.

So 60 percent of Americans believe we are in a recession but will vote for Obama anyway? That is why these polls that are in the tank for Obama are pure BS

60% say the economy is in a recession, yet 46% want to keep the guy who`s causing it. Got it.

QEinfinity will take care of this October. However, just how much longer this game can be played remains to be seen.

With Bernanke pumping 80 billion a month in monopoly money, I don't see the stock bubble popping before the election.
