But here is the one that will hurt Obama: 60% of the American people trust their own economic judgement over Obama's. There goes the argument that obama has a mandate for statism...

And this bit is very telling:

Younger voters are more likely than their elders to blame the current economic situation on the recession that began under Bush. The majority of middle income voters place more of the blame on Obama’s policies.
