Nearly half of Obama's supporters have now given up on him: poll
Los Angeles Times ^ | October 12, 2010 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 10/12/2010 6:17:16 AM PDT by reaganaut1

Nearly half the people who once considered themselves supporters of President Barack Obama don't anymore.

Other than that, his virtually nonstop cross-country campaigning for embattled Democrats in the Nov. 2 election is working perfectly. Monday night, he spoke to two party fundraisers of ordinary American millionaires in Miami, as The Ticket reported here.

A new poll released today by Bloomberg News finds all that hopey-changey stuff is rapidly turning to disappointment and disenchantment. While 47% of all voters approve of Obama's job now, ominously for 2012 only 36% of onetime Obama supporters now approve. Feeling jilted?

Someone named Hillary Clinton is now viewed favorably by fully 64% of Americans, even more than like Obama's wife.

Of course, Obama is on no ballot three weeks from today. But Republicans appear to ...

... be succeeding in making the Democrat's first midterm election -- a time of traditional defeat anyway for the party of the White House occupant -- into a referendum on the Illinois guy. Something about a stubborn national unemployment rate of 9.6% despite $700+ billion in non-stimulating stimulus spending and promises to keep the jobless rate below 8%.

On foreign policy, now that all the troops are on station from Obama's second Afghanistan troop surge, six in 10 Americans believe the 9-year-old war is a lost cause. Etc.

Meanwhile, a separate Gallup Poll Monday showed the Republican lead on the indicative generic congressional ballot remained strong.

A slim majority (53%) like the guy who just redecorated the Oval Office; he's got an OK jump shot and who knows what his golf handicap is after 52 rounds as chief executive?

They just don't like the job Obama is doing as president -- 47% think his policies have actually hurt the economy.

The Great Re-Awakening.

The Feral Zombie Looting Hordes find themselves endgangered on two fronts: 1) The Angry Americans gathering pitchforks and torches looking at FZLH members and the leaders who would feed them our hard work by the shovel load, and 2) They fear that as they win there is less to steal, less loot to loot, because if the producers lose, the looters lose first.

This still doesn’t stop the Dems from piling SEIU and other zombies into buses on Election day.

Barry knows 2010 is a referendum about him. (It’s always about him.) Popcorn, please, as he loses it totally during the next three weeks.

And according to another Poll, Black support at over 90% remains unchanged. More proof, race trumps everything.

BHO is political kryptonite. Party-line Dems are frantically trying to shape-shift into Tea Party activists to distance themselves from the Obama disaster.

The Kenyan’s only remaining supporters are hardcore leftwing parasites and the media.

The funny part about it, Obama isn’t really black. He is a mulatto or bi-racial. He has no connection to the American black except he married one. He is a fraud at every level.

47%? Does America have that many blacks and long haired, dope infested maggots?

Can't be serious! Oh, gag me! This witch of woman viewed favorably by fully 64% of Americans? I don't believe it for one minute! I hope to live long enough to see both Clintons exit stage left--permanently!

It actually makes them look even dumber than they looked voting for him. The good news is they will stay home on election day. These kind of voters are completely bi-polar. As high as they were on Obama before, that’s how low they are on him now. Good. Stay home, morons.

It sure is. I wonder how long after the election it will take O'Slammy to utter those famous Clinton words: 'I'm not irrelevant'.

No, since I've never supported him and knew he was a disaster waiting to happen. But I'm feeling that either the poll or the reporter isn't making much sense. The statement implies that Obama's support is higher among those who didn't support him originally than among supporters. Which can't be true.

Yes, indeed, something must be done to eliminate voter fraud.

Of course, without voter fraud, Dems would lose every close race. It probably accounts for 3-5% of their vote total in certain precincts.

I think a lot of them painted their own picture on 0bama’s blank canvas,

and now they aren’t seeing the same picture.

Of course, there were those whose “picture” was a big check from whitey.
