Is Romney actually leading in the polls or are some people delusional?

I've always thought holding a president responsible for an economy's failure or success is largely akin to older cultures lynching the village leader for a poor harvest or worshiping him for a great one.

But maybe that's just me.

Since the second world war, economic crises have become less frequent and less severe. That's thanks to central banks, welfare states,

Hasn't the USA had a meltdown about every 10 years though?  There was the oil crisis and hyper inflation, stock market crash in the late 80s, dot com bubble in the 90s, housing market crash in late 2000, etc.  There is a bubble every 10 years or so still.
