A. Henry and Harry,
Thanks for your comments. ...L. A. Henry and Harry,<br /><br />Thanks for your comments. Too often, reporters seem to take the easy route. They report the unemployment number, but only occasionally note that the percentage of the population employed dropped even as the unemployment percentage dropped. They fail to note what kind of jobs people may have created for themselves, such as starting their own uncaptitalized business because they could not find work in the Obama economy.<br /><br />Looking deeper into the polls and reporting the problems is similarly lacking. Of course, there is the occasional mention that some are claiming a problem, but not enough emphasis is given to acknowledging that to counter the impressions that most voters have. There is no strong impetus to see that voters know and understand what is going on.<br /><br />Yes, Harry, we have seen the same problems with respect to global warming alarmist claims. The problems there are probably harder to explain though. The employment and poll problems are relatively simple to explain, however.Charles R.

But even Fox just trusts Rasmussen, instead of doing this important little bit of investigating and reporting. I think, just as with climate science, the "experts" are not what they are unquestioningly assumed to be.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959556.post-88568970480549942062012-10-07T07:31:49.076-05:002012-10-07T07:31:49.076-05:00The country has had enough of the Obama experiment...The country has had enough of the Obama experiment. Hope and change only benefited those who don't contribute to the tax rolls. this isn't redistrabution, this is payback. It's time for a real change. As far as the Rasmussen poll,, I agree with you that the lead for Romney is way above 2 percent.L.A.Henrynoreply@blogger.com
