Charles Franklin notes there have been several articles about President Obama losing support among independents.
"But support for Obama has not plummeted among independents, and that needs to be clarified before it becomes erroneous conventional wisdom... Claims of abandonment of Obama by independents (or lib-Dems or
con-Dems) are substantially exaggerated over the past three months.
Significant decline from May through August, yes indeed among Inds and
Reps, but that trend halted in August."
