Chart of the Week

2004 Presidential Race - RealClearPolitics Poll Average
RCP Poll Average (10/13 - 10/16): Bush 49.0%, Kerry 45.0%, Nader 1.7% | Bush +4.0



Bottom Line: The above graph is an average of all the major Presidential polls from RealClearPolitics.com. It is my contention that the Presidential election is having a much more profound effect on the economy than is generally believed. Historically bitter and divisive rhetoric, 24-7 negative media coverage, domestic terrorism fears and uncertainty over the very different directions the candidates plan to lead the country are having a significant impact on the psychology of consumers and corporate decision-makers.
