I agree that the high level of unemployment won’t necessarily disqualify the President. I look at life from both sides now and I see that 91% still have jobs, although many of them want to work more hours and get better pay. The economy is growing and jobs are being created (albeit both at a slow pace)so while most of those in employment do care about their fellow Americans out of work, they are generally probably less and less concerned that they will lose their jobs. So they won’t wait for the incumbent with a baseball bat (I think that’s an Aussie political saying about voters wanting to clean out the incumbent).
Regards.
