And yet that's how the electorate behaves as a whole. A crucial segment of voters just isn't sufficiently demanding of an ideological policy objectives for an ambitious legislative agenda to do a president much good, and those same voters respond to the economy/natl environment — PolitiTweet.org

These people may tell pollsters they support a policy. But they're not exactly demanding it or even care. Trying to win over a swing voter on a policy issue, when they're dissatisfied by the economy, is like trying to sell someone something they're not asking for. It's hard! — PolitiTweet.org
