The tough economic situation has obviously been hard on McCain not just in Wisconsin, but all over the nation. The truth is: people don't want to vote in an incumbent when the economy is in trouble.
These are the sentiments in Wisconsin, where the people's main concern is the economy and jobs. A recent report by VOA News looks at politics through the eyes of the people of Janesville, Wisconsin, home to a GM plant.
This plant, which has been around 90 years, has been home to thousands of workers. However, this December, General Motors will close the plant.
Not only will thousands of jobs of people working in the plant be affected, but another 6000 jobs in the community are expected to be lost. Examples like this show why Wisconsin workers are concerned about who will be our country's leader the next four years. Some people believe Obama can do the job, while others believe McCain can. However, situations like this seem to favor Obama, since he is the challenger this election season.
In fact Obama even tapped into this particular plant earlier this year, saying, "If our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another hundred years."
