    The Fair model does a good job of predicting elections:

    Eventually, that’s what the powers that be care about.

    If you believe surveys–last time I checked we weren’t supposed to–but this place has a bunch of data on approval ratings and the like: http://pollster.com/

    P.S. Where did you go, pushmedia1?! Return to us! [Did you get one of my comments stuck in moderation?]

    No stuck comments. You link to political indicators… I’m interested in political economic indicators and I don’t think unemployment is a good one.
