New jobless claims dropped a smidge to 450k, continuing claims revised upward last week (again) but dropped this week (again) to stay virtually unchanged at 4.49 million (again).

Only one more unemployment report before the election, September's numbers in October.  October's numbers won't be out until three days after the election, so if the numbers go up for October from 9.6%, the Dems will be in additional trouble.
