If you put your trust in Gallup, you are a lost cause.
Gallup can poll presidential races, but they have failed big time at measuring economic success. I'll be waiting for the official data.
This. Right now I think most are forecasting a gain of about 137,000 while the unemployment rate stays at 8.3 percent. But August is usually worse. Though last year it was really because of the Debt Cieling Debacle. I think it'll be about 150,000 and the rate will fall to 8.2. Jobless claims are at their lowest since March, and continuing claims are falling.
