Not that I spent too much time on this, but Zogby is a respected, quite accurate pollster with a solid track record, that works hard to stay impartial - while Nate Silver (538 blogger) is a well known leftist liberal who's just pushing his opinion. If I had to trust one of those two, I'd take...

And we all know that frequent use of liqueur leades to frequent practice of tourner et courir, right? :)

While a diet consisting predominantly of french fries leads to the use of liqueur? :)

So, you've got an obscure, sort of inconclusive, study that someone doesn't like... Sounds familiar, happens every day... What's your point?

One of the key things that's missing, imo, is a serious but simple explanation how money removed from the private enterprise domain and into the public domain loses a lot of its speed and effectiveness causing jobs to be lost. As government takes the leadership in many aspects of business...

Lots of opinions and assumptions here - one could easily argue the opposite of most of what you say. After each 8 year presidency, there are lots of people who are happy and others that are unhappy on both sides. Remember, about 1/3 of Americans are essentially Independents, aka switchers back...

Hey, me too, PhD Physics - High Energy Theory, UVA... Do you think they care? :)

The Greek Debt :) :) :)

Like that dyslexic rabbi who used to mutter "yo, yo..." :)

There's no fact here... you're dreaming and just show your bias. Both parties want to improve the country, but they go at it from different perspectives. The dems want to give money to people (they claim they target the poor but they also pad the wallets of lawyers, teachers, etc) while the...

Actually it was Clinton who didn't react properly during his 8 years... what was occupying that paragon of Dem honesty and virtue? :) Bush reacted to the crisis perfectly and got us out of it, moved the trouble overseas, etc. Wrt WMD, the UN reported they had them (several times in the 90s)...

Actually, they were, but you refuse to see it.

Yes, it is a gem, and let me rephrase it: "My experience when you listen to a guy like Obama, he's gonna say all the right things... I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions and results!!" :)

OBAMANOMICS RECESSION By DICK MORRIS "The drop in the stock market (now about 1,000 points on the Dow) is a graphic indication of the stark fact that we are entering the infamous double dip of the recession, long feared and predicted. The economy is not in a V after all (down and then up)...

My take is far more threatening and disturbing. Fundamentally, there are two ways to lead a country: trying to improve its cohesion around a few basic objectives, like freedom and prosperity; while on the other hand, you could try to bribe a majority of citizens who would be willing to vote...

The Democrats' Job Killing Policies Kill Jobs By Newt Gingrich "The latest jobs report is solid evidence that Obama's big government, high tax, Washington-centered, bureaucratic, politician-dominated system is going to kill jobs and extend the current economic problems far longer than what...

That's because power is most often split: a Dem president usually is accompanied by a Repub Congress, and those are the guys/gals who hold the purse strings.

How About This For A Conspiracy Theory? It makes sense that big (huge) money has an interest in getting the worst president elected because very deep pockets benefit from a relatively sudden and dramatic drop in the market, like 4,000 or 6,000 Dow points in a few months. They can plan for it...

Sorry for being slow to respond. I see your point and I may have overreacted. But, it's hard to critique performance in a vacuum, much easier to compare two or three related cases. Because of their time proximity, here and in many other places, Obama is most often being compared to GWBush...
