As this issue of reason goes to press, the dollar is at a record low against the euro, oil is more than $100 a barrel, consumer prices are up 4 percent from a year ago, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is cutting interest rates so often that the guys at the office have taken to calling him Edward Scissorhands. The subprime mortgage fallout has yet to finish wreaking its havoc, Bear Stearns is holding on by the skin of its teeth, and the government’s bucket may not be big enough for all the bailouts under way. Gloomy faces dominate CNBC and the Fox Business Channel, muttering long-forgotten terms like inflation and recession. President George W. Bush, by contrast, is relatively cheery, conceding that we are in “challenging times” but arguing that “our financial institutions are strong” and the capital markets “functioning efficiently and effectively.” “In the long run,” Bush said in a March 17 White House address, “our economy is going to be fine.” And some statistics back up the sunny view: Unemployment is still at a low 5.1 percent, and productivity remains high. Presidential hopefuls are offering a variety of explanations and possible solutions for what 42 percent of voters say is the most important issue to them, according to a recent CNN Poll. At a March 20 rally, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) suggested the problem was a combination of “special interests” and war: “At a time when we’re on the brink of recession, when neigh ...

Three new polls in Indiana - two showing Hillary Clinton ahead of Barack Obama and the other saying the race is a tie - add to the conflicting results from surveys released over the last week. Clinton leads Obama 52 percent to 45 percent in a Poll of registered Democrats likely to vote in Tuesday’s primary, according to the Mike Downs Center on Indiana Politics. The margin of error is 3.8 percent. The Poll was conducted April 28-30 and has a margin of error of 3.8 percent. A previous Poll in mid-April had Obama ahead by 5 points. The Poll said Clinton had “flipped” the earlier advantage held by Obama among independents. She now leads 56 percent to 38 percent among “pure” independents, 54 percent to 46 percent among Republican-leaning independents and she has drawn even with Obama among Democratic-leaning independents at 47 percent. Half of Indiana voters said the economy was the top issue and they broke 56 percent to 42 percent in favor of Clinton. Of the 13 percent who singled out Iraq, Obama led 52 percent to 47 percent, but that was down from his 17 point margin in mid-April. In a general election match-up, even though Indiana is a solid “red” state in Presidential elections, both Clinton and Obama are competitive with John McCain. She leads 48 percent to 45 percent and Obama leads 48 percent to 47 percent. The margin of error is 2.8 percent. American Research Group , in a Poll conducted April 30-May 1, shows Cl ...

CBS News has projected that Senator Hillary Clinton will win the Indiana Democratic Presidential primary — a result that means the evening of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries ended in a split decision for what increasingly appears to be a split political party: Clinton pulled off an Indiana win in what was a virtual must-win Midwestern state. With 50 percent of the votes being reported in the state, she was leading Obama 55 percent to 45 percent. Obama’s win mirrored earlier triumphs in Southern states with large black populations: Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina among them. With 14 percent of the votes in North Carolina being reported, Obama was leading Clinton 63 percent to 35 percent. CBS News exit Poll results show that most voters in both states made up their minds a while ago. Only 17 percent in Indiana and 14 percent in North Carolina decided in the last three days. Twenty-four percent in Indiana and 18 percent in North Carolina decided in the last week. Late deciders backed Clinton in Indiana by a margin of 62 percent to 38 percent for Obama. In North Carolina, Obama won late deciders by a much smaller margin of 49 percent to 48 percent. And the important issues? As it has been throughout the Democratic primaries, the economy was the most important issue in both states with 65 percent of voters in Indiana describing it as such and 60 percent in North Carolina. In Indiana, 50 perce ... Source: www.moldova.org --- 7 days ago
U.S. voters believe the three major Presidential candidates would do a better job than President George W. Bush on the economy, a released Thursday indicated.However, fewer than half think any of the three would have a positive effect on the economy, the Harris Poll indicated.

American voters are overwhelmingly paying attention to Presidential candidates' positions on health care, according to a Poll published by the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA). CHA released the survey as part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 's Cover The Uninsured Week , in which CHA has participated since the effort's inception. After the big issue of national security -- terrorism, Iraq -- voters point to jobs and the economy (40%) and health insurance (21%) as the top two domestic issues of highest priority for the next president. This prioritization is consistent with that reported out of the Kaiser Family Foundation Poll I wrote about earlier this week. 79% of voters say the candidate's position on health care will affect his/her decision to vote for that candidate. And nearly 9 in 10 believe that health care is a matter of human dignity and should be available to all based on moral and ethical reasons. Health care for all is a mission for CHA. The organization is supporting Catholic health care facilities in organizing roundtable discussions in local communities to build consensus for health reform. CHA recently released its Vision for U.S. Health Care, which outlines values and principles for a reformed system. The document is available online at www.OurHealthCareValues.org . The survey was conducted among 800 likely voters between March 31 ... Source: citizen.typepad.com --- 3 days ago
Up next, the Democratic Presidential primary contest moves to Indiana and North Carolina. Hoosiers and North Carolinians will go to the polls on May 6th. Both of these states have felt the severe costs of NAFTA-style trade policies on their economies and their communities and voters will be thinking about trade policy when they go to the polls. Here are the facts. Indiana: An LA Times/Bloomberg news Poll found: 84% of Indiana Democratic primary voters think the economy is going very badly. Among Indiana Democratic primary voters, 81% say the health of the nation's economy will play an important role in choosing a candidate. 58% of Hoosiers say "international free trade" has hurt the economy and only 20% say it has helped. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, during the NAFTA-WTO era, Indiana alone lost more than 102,000 manufacturing jobs. In the 2006 midterm election, fair trader Joe Donnelly defeated pro-NAFTA status quo incumbent Chris Chocola and Brad Ellsworth won his IN-8 seat by campaigning against NAFTA-expansions (watch an ad run during his campaign here ). North Carolina: According to an LA Times/Bloomberg news Poll : 84% of North Carolina Democratic primary voters think the economy is going very badly.

Some See Oil At $150 a Barrel This Year (WSJ)
Lots of chatter lately about the next leg of the supersurge in oil. A Goldman guy came out with a call for $200, which would mean a mere doubling from here. Others see $150 comfortably in sights, though that would hardly be a move at all at this point. Nobody subscribes to it really, but we're still kind of partial to the idea that the higher the price of oil the better for the economy. Sure it's rough, but man, when oil goes back down to $35, we are going to be humming.
2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee (Intrade)
You know the media expectations game. There were actually some polls that had Barack Obama winning Indiana. But, he so consistently collapsed on primary day that small Poll leads for him usually translated into significant, 10-point losses. SO when that didn't happen, and instead lost by just 2 percent, in a race that went deep into the night, the media called him the victor. Russert called him the nominee and he ticked up about 8 points on Intrade to around $.88 on the dollar.

When President Bill Clinton took office in January 1993, the average price of gasoline was $1.05 a gallon. By the time he left office in January 2001, the price had risen to $1.45 a gallon, a 37 percent increase over the course of eight years. That may seem like a steep hike, until you consider what happened during the Bush Administration. During George Bush's term in office, the average price of regular gasoline has more than doubled from $1.45 a gallon in 2001 to $3.56 a gallon last week, according to the Department of Energy. And the price is expected to go higher, with some analysts expecting gas prices to reach $4 a gallon this summer.
What does that mean to the consumer? In 2001, it cost about $29 to fill up a 20 gallon tank. Today it would cost $71 to fill up the same tank.
For the commuter who fills up that tank every week, the cost of gas has risen from $1500/year to almost $4,000/year, a $2,500 annual increase in just 7 years.
Given the skyrocketing prices, it's no wonder that voters say that gas prices, and their effects on the economy, are a top concern in the Presidential election. Forty two percent of Americans think the gas situation is a " crisis ," according to a new Gallup Poll released today. And 51 percent think gas prices are a "major problem." When the two numbers are combined, that means 93 percent of Americans are worried about rising fuel costs.
What causes high gas prices?
