What will be the most important issue?
The economy. Pessimism never lasted so long in the country. It’s hard to say whether this will influence the election, but Obama has failed to turn things around as Reagan in the 1980s.

Yes. Most Americans want to re-election, despite doubts about the economy. But several Republican candidates look beyond 2012.
