It's the gas prices, stupid
Apparently, Americans determine presidential approval by gas prices, or something that is directly related to gas prices...
You know, the fact that the economy is in such good shape that the stockmarket goes up the day oil goes to eighty bucks a barrel should mean something, but apparently most people just don't get that (I mean, the economy has to be ridiciulously robust to take such a hit in energy prices and to grow at over 4.5%--if oil was low, it'd have to be approaching the best ever in the last several decades...)
