Neither side has convinced a majority of Americans. Fully 47% of those surveyed in the ABC/Yahoo! News poll say it won’t make a difference to the economy whether Democrats or Republicans are in control of Congress.end quote.

The voters aren't dumb. They know that unfortunately both parties are full of it right now. The problems of the world (which people in the U.S. can't really vote on effectively) are the real cause of the financial mess and almost everyone knows that now. Only fools promise to be able to fix those problems and only fools listen to them.
