Poll: 3 in 10 sure they'll vote Obama
Politico.com | 6-22-11 | Jennifer Epstein

Americans are growing increasingly more frustrated with President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy and only 3 in 10 say they are certain they will vote to re-elect him in 2012, a new poll finds.

Just 23 percent of those surveyed for a Bloomberg News poll released Wednesday say they are hopeful about the economy because they see signs of improvement, while 25 percent say they are fearful things are getting worse and 51 percent are cautious because nothing seems to be happening.

Those signs of economic pessimism aren’t helping Obama’s reelection bid.

Sixty-one percent of Americans say they believe the president will have had a chance to make the economy “substantially better” by the end of 2012, while 37 percent say he won’t have. Forty-four percent of Americans say they are worse off than they were when Obama took office, while 34 percent say they are better off and 21 percent say they are doing about the same.

While 30 percent of Americans say they will vote for Obama, 36 percent say they definitely won’t vote for him. Among likely independent voters surveyed, just 23 percent say they are certain they will vote for Obama while 36 percent say they are sure they will seek out another candidate.

Oh, he’d have a chance to make the economy better by 2012,

but he won’t actually do what needs to be done. He’s ideologically incapable of doing what needs to be done.

Clinton began his course correction right after the 1994 election.

Obama refuses to change course. Full speed ahead to the Socialist Utopia!

3 in 10 Americans suck off the government teat. 3 in 10 Americans have never done an honest days work in their life!3 in 10 Americans are members of thug unions. 3 in 10 Americans live off subsidized housing, food stamps, medicaid,government schools, and can’t tell the difference between socialism and capitalism. They have never read “The Wealth of Nations”, can’t understand laissez-faire, and think everybody owes them something.

This is a good proxy for the percentage of the population who are freeloaders.

So, 30% of those polled are either hardline Marxists or black. Interesting.

“He’s ideologically incapable of doing what needs to be done.”

Whenever a president says ‘We created private sector jobs’, you can be sure he doesn’t get it. That statement alone does not make sense. The government doesn’t create private sector jobs. The laws the government pass will make it possible or impossible to benefit companies so they are able to hire more workers. In this case, his policies are so unfriendly to business that they shut down/fine kids lemonade stands.

Luckily, most of them are institutionalized in mental hospitals, jail, prison or alien detention centers, so they can’t vote.

Like that TV commic said, all he has to do is find and kill Bin Laddin three more times before the election.

Well . . .look who voted for the Bozo in the first place.
It says it all. Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos, WWE, or spend a day at the DMV and you will see many of the Obama voters.

You mean, he's going to have to start another war.

He has already attacked in an overt way Libya, Yemen, and Pakistan. By helping to oust Mubarack in Egypt and supporting the MB in Libya, he essentially gave the green light to the revolution in Syria.

While all of this is going on and before anything has settled or calmed down, he immediately bombed Israel verbally and politically, and essentially called them an outlaw state. The result of this can only be to encourage the Arabs to increase their attacks on Israel and foment protests and riots.

I would say Obama is well on his way to deliberately starting WW3, and I do believe as you say, that this was his plan all along.

All of these warnings should be taken very seriously. I do believe that Obama is going to do something completely crazy (well, more crazy than normal) to get a major war started before the next election, and that could well include war with Israel. The man is maniacal and he is insane.

I have been saying this for two and a half years.

I hope that’s what he winds up getting in 2012. Anyone who votes for Obama in 2012 is either a dupe or out to destroy the country on purpose. Sadly, there might be more of the latter.
