However, we are only a few months away from the election and the end of
this year. The situation has not picked up, as this article suggest it would. The conclusion is that their projection was wrong and Bush will, in fact, end his first term with an abysmal job record--the original critique was correct.
Edit: You'll also notice that unemployment essentially stays static for the months following the article. I don't have all the numbers, but I suspect that the differences are statistically insignificant, which means that unemployment hasn't decreased (although it hasn't increased, either).
