5. (#6) I think that this election year parallels more closely with the 1948 election, in which wealthy Dewey lost to unlikeable Truman. Many people feel the same today, according to comments by the media that Romney’s wealth is a disconnecting stumbling block to voters. However, since the ratings on both Obama and Romney are so close, I don’t have an opinion on who will win based on the stated examples.

:Truman had a low approval rating, but I'm sure one would call him "unlikeable".  Similarly, Obama is not "unlikeable", but has a low approval rating.  Polls indicate that Obama is far more likable than Romney is.  Your conclusion that this election is like 1948 is superb.  Full credit.
