Senate:
Pat Roberts (R-Incumbent) votes for all free trade agreements, and
pushed the 1996 inaccurately named "Freedom to Farm" bill that farmers
hate. He said U.S. farmers would export our way to prosperity if
they just kept the price below break even. Anyway, he leads Jim
Slattery (D) 48-39%. The prior 5/13 poll from Rasmussen was
52-40% on May 13.
Any incumbent who polls below 50% is considered potentially vulnerable.
President: McCain leads by 10... 47-37%

The following was written by Charles W. McMillion, Ph.D., President and Chief Economist for MBG Information Services in Washington, DC.
November's plunging gas prices raised real wages while housing troubles worsened sharply
Three reports today illustrate the strong economic crosscurrents at work in the declining US economy.
The BLS reports that a record plunge in November gasoline prices (unleaded regular plummeted -30.1% in one month!) drove overall consumer prices down -1.7%. In a separate report BLS estimates that this plunge in prices allowed the overall purchasing power of average weekly wages to soar by 2.3% in November to levels that are now 2.2% higher yr/yr. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm http://www.bls.gov/news.release/realer.nr0.htm
