Abstract

With four months left to go in the U.S. presidential election, the campaign has turned into a neck-and-neck race. In a campaign about economic perception, the candidates each represent starkly contrasting narratives and visions for America. The election will ultimately serve as a referendum on President Obama's first term in office, although each candidate enjoys key advantages and disadvantages that could be decisive factors in such a close election. At this point, it is unclear who will win in 2012 but it is clear that it will be much closer than 2008
