News from The Hill:

Jobless rate falls to 7.8 percent, boosting Obama
By Vicki Needham

The unemployment rate dipped below 8 percent in September to 7.8 percent, providing welcome news for President Obama just a month before Election Day.

The economy added only 114,00 jobs, yet the unemployment rate still dropped from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent.

The report revised figures up in July and August, and it showed more people are now entering the workforce.

Obama Approval Reaches 3-Year High

While President Obama turned in a lackluster debate performance that was panned by Republicans and Democrats alike, he got some good news yesterday: his approval rating according to a new Gallup poll stands at 54%, the highest it has been in 3 years. Historically, Presidents with an approval rating above 50% have been reelected while those under 50% have struggled and often lost.


Obama Has Record Fundraising in September


The Wall Street Journal reported that the Obama campaign raised $150 million in September. The Washington Post has a different report, saying that the total was between $114 million and $193 million. The campaign itself was playing coy for the moment, But it is clear that the September haul was better than the $114 million raised in August. The Romney campaign has not leaked any numbers. Official reports are due Sept. 20.

ranch hand-- doesn't matter if you or I are happy or not-- the handwriting is pretty well on the board-- Obama will be reelected...
He may not win the popular vote- but it doesn't take a genius to see that out of the needed 270 electoral votes, he has 269 all but tied up solid-- and is leading the polls in most the battleground states- some with as much as an 8-10% margin- which would give him his 270 and possibly near 330 electoral votes...

Even Romneys flipflopping move now to allow the Dream Act, Obamacare, more government regulation, and saying no tax cuts for the rich, etc. etc in his attempt to become more like Obama is too late in my opinion...

Until the Republican Party makes some major changes it will not/can not win another national election...

Why is that Ot? Is it because 47 percent are standing there with their hNds out and your party is the one filling their hands? Pretty soon the others will get tired of this and we will have a civil war again!

Seems like you would be an expert in something I have always wondered... Does senility physically or mentally hurt? Do you know you've lost your mental capabilities or are you just oblivious to it?

Thanks in advance.

how in the world does a paltry 114,000 private sector job increase drop the unemployment rate that much?


oh they fudged the numbers...

However, many of those job gains were in part-time and self-employed positions.

as Americans benefited from a surge in part-time work, the Labor Department said Friday.

And about two-thirds of the increase in household-survey employment was in part-time jobs.

Naroff projects average monthly job gains of 125,000 to 150,000 the rest of 2012, barely enough to keep the unemployment rate from rising.

So would this be good news for 22,850,000 people who are still without a job. I guess it takes the obama crew to find the silver lining.

They say the true unemployment underemployed rate is still at over 14% so I don't see how that is good knews for Obama.

But I smell a rat when in past reports we have seen over a couple hundred thousand jobs created and it didn't see this kind of drop in the Unemployment rate.

ANd an increase by the reported 115,000 jobs doesn't even keep up with those entering the jobs market.

I think this report will be revised just like so many others have been and this number will be proven to be out now to cushion Obama's unemployment possiblities.

I think everyone knew Obama and his corrupt Chicago team would pull something but fudging the numbers this much is a little hard to believe. :roll:

yep,.. in 16 years we will have them all back to work in part time jobs and can start working on the ones who finished school, graduated from college, was kicked out of the military, laid off or fired in the mean time...

What will the unemployment rate look like when the Military contractors start sending out lay off notices. Oh yea they will not be sending them out will they, Obama is telling them to break the law and not send them out and he will OOPS the Tax Payers will pick up the tab for the legal fees when they get sued for not following US LAWS.

Want to explain to us why Obama doesn't want those Contractors sending out LEGALLY REQUIRED notices Oldtimer? Could it have anything to do with the fact those notices will be coming out just days before Obama is expecting to get re-elected? :?

9 for 9?: Economic model correctly picks last 8 presidents, predicts Romney win



Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney rides in an elevator to attend a ... more >Recent EntriesMcCain, Graham tell companies to ignore White House on layoff noticesRomney gets post-debate bounce in Fla., Ohio, Va.Under-30 unemployment rate at 11.8 percentBob Kerrey gets Hollywood help with Steve Martin's endorsementRomney wins NRA backingDENVER — A University of Colorado economic model that has correctly predicted the last eight presidential elections shows Mitt Romney emerging as the victor in 2012.

Ken Bickers, professor of political science at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Michael Berry, political science professor at the University of Colorado Denver, announced Wednesday that their state-by-state analysis shows the Republican capturing a majority of electoral votes.

"Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble," said Mr. Bickers, who also serves as director of the CU in DC Internship Program.

The results show President Obama winning 218 votes in the Electoral College, well short of the 270 required for victory. While the study focuses on the electoral vote, the professors also predict that Mr. Romney will win 52.9 percent of the popular vote to Mr. Obama's 47.1 percent when considering only the two major political parties.

The analysis factors in a host of economic data, including state and national unemployment figures and changes in real per capita income.

"What is striking about our state-level economic indicator forecast is the expectation that Obama will lose almost all of the states currently considered as swing states, including North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida," Mr. Bickers said.

While noneconomic factors such as incumbency can play a role in the election's outcome, the professors found that there was no statistical advantage conferred by the location of the party's national convention, the home state of the vice-presidential candidate, or the party affiliation of state governors.

The silver lining for the Obama campaign is that the data was collected five months before the election; the professors say they plan to update their forecast in September, which should provide a more accurate picture. They also note that dead-heat states have been known to fall in unexpected directions.

"As scholars and pundits well know, each election has unique elements that could lead one or more states to behave in ways in a particular election that the model is unable to correctly predict," Mr. Berry said.
