He said "Wait until around the fall", not "Wait until the election this fall". There won't be significant national level US elections this fall, but there will be new polling data. I'm not sure that waiting to the fall will make a decisive difference. I do expect Obama's support levels to drop, but perhaps not by a lot in less than a year.

Very good Kenneth thank you for totally missing my point. LOL! Since you seem to be a little more dense than usual I'll put it another way - maybe try and read this without your lips moving - Obama's numbers will likely dip towards the end of the year as people start to realize his big overly expensive stimulus package is having a minimal affect on the economy.
