In 1984 Ronald Reagan won re-election with an unemployment rate of 7.5%. Yet his victory occurred when the economy was growing at more than 11% and gas prices were tumbling from then record highs. Reagan definitely benefitted from the perception that it truly was morning in America, especially after the unemployment rate tumbled from around 10% in 1982 and 1983.

Marquette’s poll of the gubernatorial recall had presidential numbers too, and Obama leads 51-43. It’s bit of a surprise that a sample can be Walker +7 and Obama +8, but perhaps Walker’s race is more localized than the CW suggests.
