It is still a bit early. If the economy/jobs don't show significant improvement by Dec/Jan, I think the Dems will be pressuring Obama into early retirement -- shades of LBJ.

They already lost the House. They most probably will lose the Senate. They don't want a three-fer with a nominee who appears destined to lose. Many of them remember Carter and his whopping loss to that actor guy.

Just before the Dem primary season opens, I think the Dems will put enough pressure on Obama that we will see Obama feign illness or 'family concerns' and a decline running. I expect that the Dem leadership are already making contingency plans behind the scenes, and they probably already have a replacement candidate being prepped.

This employment figures increase in a short work week are devastating for Obama, because the indicate things are slowing getting worse, rather than better.
