If a presidential election were held tomorrow, what would be three issues of concern for you that would impact your vote?

Ask a person who is at least 18 years of age the following question: Please indicate the three issues that are most important to you as you decide who will get your vote in a U. S. presidential election Due Date; ________________________________________________

1. What are the common answers? 2. What do you think about the answers? 3. How many are economic answers?

What do the indicators indicate about the economy?

Visual 8.1 Economic IndicatorsStatistics Based on Indicators Unemployment Rate Inflation rate Growth rate in per capita GDP Misery Index Growth rate in real GDP

1. Unemployment rate: the percentage of people in the labor force who are unemployed. 2. Inflation rate: The percentage increase in the overall price level. 3. Real GDP: the value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a year, expressed in terms of constant dollars.

1. Misery Index: The sum of the unemployment rate and the inflation rate. 2. Real Per Capita GDP Growth Rate: The percentage change in real GDP per person

Think, Pair, Share What do you see on the chart? What year since 1957 has the unemployment rate been the highest? What year had the highest inflation rate? 4. What year had the highest Misery Index?

Did the incumbent win? Did the “in office” party win?

Predict who you think will win based on the data on Activity 8.2. Write two or more rules that demonstrated how to apply the data Share your rules and evaluate them.

Review the “rules” on 8.2 and 8.3. Which of these rules serve as a strong predictor? Which ones do not?

Do economics play a role in presidential elections?

Do you believe the data we have studied shows that economic conditions impact presidential elections? Is it fair to blame or give credit to the incumbent ?
