facing tough economic head winds or political head winds. what i watch for is not so much job approval but the president getting elected around 47, 48%, maybe even 46. but does it stay above 50% p. the the minute you are below 50%, it means you may be on the verge of losing the american people all together. we saw that with mr. bush. when the country was finished with him, his personal favorites within which were always high, dipped when low 50% and never recovered. what we don't know and haven't seen in the last five presidents, we haven't seen a president running for election with 8.3% unemployment, a huge underemployment population. so it is really in a sense, we're in unchart chaed waters.
