Economic Picture in Swing States Could Boost Obama

[WI_DEM]

Poll after poll has shown that no single issue outranks the economy in the minds of voters this election year.

And while a pair of recent surveys have shown Mitt Romney with an advantage when it comes to having better ideas to fix the economy, the economic data in key battleground states appear to favor President Obama.

As Paul Wiseman of the Associated Press noted in his must-read story over the weekend, the unemployment rates in Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Nevada all dropped by more than a full percentage point in the past year.

He writes there is yet still more good news for the president: "Unemployment is down over the past year in the 10 other states the Associated Press identifies as swing states: Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin."
