POLL QUESTION: Is it still all about the economy?

In politics, the old saying "It's the economy, stupid" usually applies in election years, especially presidential elections. In fact, according to analysis reported by USA Today, the performance of the stock market and economy has predicted the winner of all but three presidential elections since 1928, and every one since 1984. The trend holds that in years when the stock market rises in the three months leading up to Election Day, the incumbent party wins. When the stock market falls in that period, the incumbent party loses.

Our Corey Olson has more on that HERE, and his story leads to today's poll question below.
