Poll: Obama over 50% in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania

I.e. the artificial bubble burst....

Define artificial. The only thing that was artificial was the fact that banks were forced to give out risky mortgages by the Fed and those bad mortgages finally came home to roost. If you want to blame someone blame Barny Frank for forcing banks to give out zero percent loans without income and credit restrictions. It was all done in the name of "everyone should have the American Dream".

Oh okay. You'll spout off for nonsensical paragraphs about everything else, but this is a no-no. My mistake.

No, I just am not going to enable someone who want to be lazy. I know what he is going to do, in other words I have done my homework. If you want to base your vote on something other than facts its your call. It isn't my job to educate you.

Here, I will get you started.

Has nothing to do with my vote - I don't *get* to vote.

I was simply curious what one of his obvious supporters thought.

Oh well.

No, it tanked in Sept 2008. Up until then the stock market was at all time highs and unemployment was in the 4% range.

It may have hit rock bottom in Sept of 2008, but it certainly didn't start then. By the way, who was President in Sept. of 2008?

I actually did go to Romney's website a few ago to see what his plan was and I was less than impressed. Nothing new, just same old Republican politics.

Over Kerry? No stupidity there. It's the same reason Obama was elected the last time. The opposition was even worse. McCain was an idiot and Obama was an unknown quantity that inspired hope. In 2003 the economy was doing great and Kerry was the idiot. That is why Bush was re-elected.

Today people understand that the economy is a disaster and 4 more years of Obama will sink us. Romney isn't a great candidate but at least he has business experience.

The economy wasn't all that great in 2003, the country was still recovering from the late 2001/2002 recession.

Officially it hit December 2007.

In the grand scheme of things the POTUS has very little influence over the US economy, there are far too many other factors that play into it. Presidents have no real ownership over the economy whether it be good or bad. Look at the economic ups and downs throughout history, it doesn't play Presidential party favorites.

I think you missed the point.

No, all I missed - by choice - is the hot air you posted. Quinnipiac has a pretty solid record getting it right.

For 7 1\2 years of Bush's terms we had a pretty good economy. Not great, but much better than the last 3 years. Obama deserves nothing but someone to show him the door.

Hahaha, of Bush's term we had a few good years - 2000, 2005, 2006, 2007 but thats about it.

I had someone (I wish I could remember who now) tell me a few weeks ago that Romney simply being elected will improve the economy. That's all he had to do!

How many good years have we had with Obama?

Romney has everything, apparently, except for a plan or a VP...

don't kid yourself. the man has been campaigning for potus for 7 years. he will announce his vp after the olympics to maximize the pop in the numbers, and the mugslinging from the pacs will be epic. i wouldn't put much weight in the polling data until mid september.

Irrelevant. No matter who is president the next four years will also be slow growth.
