The title of your thread is misleading. BTW, just like Reagan can say he inherited an economic mess from Carter and FDR can say he inherited an economic mess from Hoover, Obama can say that he inherited an economic mess from Bush Jr. If unemployment is 8.0% or lower on election day and is consistenly decreasing, Obama will get reelected.
If people bought that he inherited the bad economy from Bush, then why is he having so much trouble in polls right now?
That wasn't my point. My point was that if the economy is sluggish but recovering in 2012, Obama should be fine, just like FDR and Reagan before him. The economy isn't recovering much right now (in terms of jobs) and thus Obama is currently having trouble in the polls.
