For the next 3 days expect Obama's numbers go up as the effect of the job numbers start to take effect. I am not concerned about the poll numbers because people out there are seeing the improvement in the economy. As people are feeling good, here comes Romney telling them to not feel that good, that the country is screwed up. He is sitting in his ivory tower. What does he know about how the middle class feels. Wasn't he the one who said let the auto industry go to hell. And wasn't it Obama who told the CEO's to hand him the keys of their private jets.

And Gallup also says that September Unadjusted Unemployment was at 7.9% and Adjusted Unemployment was at 8.1%. All of those numbers, yours included, have a margin of error of 1%. The bottom line is that the 7.8% number that the BLS came up with is nothing to get excited about. It wasn't a reflection of a great rebound in the economy and jobs. It was a statistical blip. I think we've seen enough analysis to conclude that it was not the beginning of a great new trend representing a new recovery underway. In fact, quite the opposite. The real economy is foundering, not just in this country but in Europe and China as well. gallup.com
