Even with Sandy causing extreme devastation and talk that the jobs report might be delayed, word has been released that the jobs report will come out Friday morning on schedule. What will the report show as far as unemployment rate and jobs added. What effect will it have on Election Day voters?
I don't think there's much of an upside for Obama here. If the job report is fairly good then nothing will change. He'll need a really strong jobs report to score any points at this stage. However, if the report is mediocre or downright bad it will hurt him. Having this job report come out this close to the election is bad luck for Obama.
