But it's a case of misdirected rage, I reckon.

The broader economy is on a recovery track (how strongly I won't speculate), but how that translates to Obamas popularity will depend on jobs. There is some evidence that, with the recession having been so severe, the lag in employment growth will be longer than normal this time- which won't help him.
