Consumer sentiment unexpectedly rose to its highest level in five years in October in the latest in a string of encouraging economic signs.

The New York Times
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan’s preliminary October reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 83.1, up from 78.3 in September, and the highest since September 2007, the survey showed on Friday.



I HOPE that the President smacks down Mitwit with these figures.

1. Really makes you wonder why anyone would want to vote for

the other guy. My suspicions about the polls are growing by the day.

2. +1

3. Because the other side doesn't even know about this. Nobody on their side is telling them this.

4. Well, if by the other side, you mean republicans--Obama could have

gotten the unemployment numbers below 5% and they still won't vote for him. He could cure cancer--no vote for him. He's a black Democrat fetus-killing commie muslim dictator who's takin' yer freedumbs. So, I wouldn't expect any true GOPers to change their minds. But the squishy undecideds/low info crowd should be responding to these stories and numbers, and they don't seem to be, judging by polls. I am having a hard time believing that it's because Romney came off better than usual at a debate. Something else is going on.
