A candidate who 'feels your pain'

A lame expression but it's what people want to hear so politicans keep coming up with them.

'More than half of all registered voters (55%) say Obama understands the problems of average Americans very or fairly well'.

'Only about four-in-ten voters (39%) give Romney high marks for understanding the problems of average Americans.'

'About the same percentage (36%) says Gingrich does very or fairly well in understanding people’s problems'.

Bottom line. Would YOU vote for someone who doesn't 'understand' your problems?
