When you're borrowing faster than the economy is growing, you can't run on the economy. We're still moving backwards, we're just buying ourselves out of the pain associated with recession. Furthermore, the lower-middle class is only just starting to recover because we blew their stimulus money on entitlement spend thrift, rather than jobs.

However, the oil boom has probably been enough this year to turn the tide for the first time since 2007. If the election were next year, maybe they would have just enough traction to mention the economy, but probably not to run on the economy.
