The Election and the Price of Gasoline

Now it makes a lot of sense for the average American's view of the government to be closely tied to the price of gasoline. But as you see in this chart posted on MyDD the correlation between support for President Bush and the price of gas looks extraordinary.

So what does this mean for the fall campaign? It suggests that the fact that OPEC has decided to put more gas on the market could be a boon for the Bush camapign. And if you want to draw any conclusions between OPEC's decision and the timing of the upcoming election, feel free.
