Do swing states economies matter?

John Sides says no, and rounds up some evidence showing that voters judge the president based on their perception of the national economy, not the conditions of their local economy. If that’s correct, then you can pretty much disregard my column on Obama’s swing-state problem.
Kudos to John and, especially, to Ezra Klein.
