You can count pollster Gallup as another observer questioning Friday’s job report, in particular the big drop in the unemployment rate.

In a blog post, Dennis Jacobe, Gallup’s chief economist, writes that he seriously doubts whether the economy created nearly 900,000 jobs in September, as measured by the Labor Department’s seasonally adjusted household survey.

His bottom line: “The Household results should be discounted. … The obvious conclusion is that a new employment measure is needed.”

I've been doing that since 2004. At least, I wasn't wishing for worse so my choice can win.

Good economic news sure does bring out the patriotism amongst the RWNJs.

I don't think he is talking about reality, just the state of the mind of people who would like the economy to be a disaster, so they can win an election. These would be the "real, patriotic Americans", BTW.
