You didn't post the most as an option the thing that is most likely to happen and the thing that was most likely to happen no matter who won the election. Where is "the economy will improve but it will be a slow recovery"?
I second this.
I believe that Obama's policies are going to be a disaster BUT the economy is still going to slowly improve. It is just the way things work. We are not close enough to the edge for the disaster to take effect and we are not going to see that for many years to come.
I didn't include Romney proposals in the poll options because those are now moot and we'll never know if they would have produced the promised effect or whether they would have been as disastrous as Obama's last four years. We don't know if he could have acheived the bipartisan cooperation he thought he could achieve to get some good things accomplished. We do have a lot of previous history to use in evaluation of what has worked in the past and what hasn't and discussions about that is fair game. Every president that has ever held office has enjoyed some success and every president has had some failures and/or disappointments.
We do have four years of recent history of what Obama's policies have or have not accomplished, and the poll is focused at what another four years of the presumably same policies will likely produce.
