Good News for Obama

The new NYTimes poll finds Obama up 48-43, as well as the following:

"Views of the state and direction of the economy are a factor in vote preferences. Those that say the economy is in very bad shape and think it is getting worse are far more likely to back Mr. Obama and to be confident in his ability to handle it. The Democrat is also broadly supported by those who say their financial situation is worse off now than it was four years ago."

And this poll ended on Tuesday, which was probably before most Americans fully realized how much their 401ks and stock portfolios are getting hammered this week. So there will be a lot more people who "think that the economy is in very bad shape and getting worse" and who are "worse off now than four years ago." In other words, people who realize conservative economics are a massive FAIL.
