Their message is : “ Vote against Obama because you are mad at him because things are bad.” But his personal likability is still high much higher than Republicans.

I wonder about the response to that poll question. Are the poll respondents answering based on what they think they should answer to not "be a racist?" The only real poll that matters is the vote in Nov., but a Romney victory would be no guarantee whatsoever of a POTUS who would do the right things.

I have no doubt that it gives him some support but also Republicans have done little to endear themselves to voters the past 16 months, and Romney is pretty cold and stiff.

A while back Romney made a comment about how he is not worried about the poor because they have a social safety to protect them unlike us. The Dems immediately ponced and Romney backtracked to say he didnt mean it.

Now there was an opportunity to point out how rising food prices hurt those of us who are not part of the ‘food stamp nation’ who are being protected from Obama’s failed policies using our tax money, but Romney just got spooked and dropped the whole subject.

Not inspiring.
