A word from Scott Rasmussen

Ace pollster Scott Rasmussen writes in response to John’s post on Obama’s improving poll numbers, in part as measured by Rasmussen himself: “In reading John’s post on why Obama is gaining ground, I found one thing lacking—a reference to consumer confidence. Confidence today is far from high, but it has improved in the past two months.” It’s an observation that readers may want to keep in mind to understand shifts in public opinion now and as the campaign continues to unfold. Scott also provides this link to his Rasmussen Reports daily measure of consumer confidence.
