The unemployment rate is unlikely to drop in the near term. Population growth requires a couple of hundred thousand jobs per month to stay even and any uptick in jobs encourages underemployed and discouraged workers, those who are not actively looking, to step into the market.

If the Republicans fail it will be due to people remembering who got us into this mess and due to their total lack of workable ideas and their total lack of effort to try to help the government create jobs.

Are a majority of the voters well informed enough to make that determination? Probably not.

I think clinical numbers like the unemployment rate don't matter nearly so much to people as knowing somebody who's been unemployed for a long time, among your close friends and relatives.

Only if you assume the voters are sentient beings, which a substantial proportion are demonstrably not.

The latest news says that unemployment is dropping and that the trade deficit is easing. Could be bad news for the republicans.
