Early indicators suggested that the September jobs report will be good

Source? All signs point towards about 110,000 jobs, which does NOT keep pace with population growth. This is not good enough. This is not solving the unemployment problem. This economy is terrible.

Obama and Co. better hope and pray the figure is six digits as anticipated, or they are in a world of trouble!

Well, I have to give credit where credit is due. I did not expect Romney to work his butt off and actually deliver. That effort will be rewarded in a month's time. Obama clearly expected that just showing up was enough and he got his butt handed to him.

It's because the man is in over his head and surrounded by Chicago sycophants.

I am willing to bet he will cling to the White House by watching the returns there.

It depends what they are.

The numbers will be worse than when Obama took office.  A decline in rate and an increase in the number of employed will.  Bad numbers, and Obama is probably finished.

Haha, good one, JJ.

These job reports haven't really had any impact on the campaign and there's no reason to believe they'll start to now.

Well, I think they have, though not as much as other things.  36 hours before these numbers came out Obama was saying the economy was improving.  If the numbers show that the economy is not improving, it steps on his narrative for the next three weeks.

Is that what happened with the last jobs report? How many weeks did that shape the narrative?

People are paying attention now, and looking for reasons to NOT vote for Obama.
