As we steam toward the election, pollsters are after new ways to peer into voters' psyches. In this week's Attitude Check, we check in with Gallup's editor-in-chief, Frank Newport, about how Americans are viewing Republicans and Democrats on a couple of subjects.
First up: Which party can do a better job "keeping the country prosperous" -- a question recently asked.
Right now, the Democrats are beating the Republicans as the party best able to keep the country prosperous, 51-42 percent. It's a turnaround from the last several years, and it could bode well for the Dems in the upcoming elections.
When it comes to the question: "which party do you think will do a better job protecting the country from international terrorism and military threats?", the two parties are tied -- before the news yesterday of the embassy killings in Libya.

Where's the "none of the above" option? I don't feel safe with either party at the helm because I see neither Obama nor Romney (nor members of Congress, no less) as someone with whom I can identify. None of the above seems terribly smart, trustworthy, or interested in the rest of us. From 1985's Back to the Future: "No wonder your president has to be an actor. He has to look good on television."
