An update would be nice.

I’d prefer fresher data too, but for the first of its kind (unless you’ve seen something else) and as a baseline assessment it’s very good. Further, five months of data likely won’t swamp 2+ years of trend. Fair point.

No mention of the Obama appointments. Then we have the internal government appointments, from Obama.
