No silver lining for Obama in slew of recent polls (A total, comprehensive disaster)
American Thinker ^ | 06/14/2012 | Rick Moran

If it gets any worse, they might call for a suicide watch on David Axelrod.

Here's a thumbnail summary of some polls out recently. Gallup:

"The 46% of registered voters supporting Obama today is five percentage points below the 51% supporting him in final weeks of the 2008 election campaign. Similarly, whites' support for Obama is six points lower than it was in October/November 2008 (38% vs. 44%), and blacks' is down four points (87% vs. 91%). At the same time, Hispanics' support, at 67%, is essentially unchanged.

Whites make up about three-quarters of all U.S. registered voters, and are therefore the most important racial or ethnic group in any election, at least mathematically. Even if Obama were to regain his 2008 level of support among blacks and improve his support somewhat among Hispanics, he could still lose if his support among whites slips any further. By the same token, even a slight increase in whites' support could secure his re-election."

Reuters:

"President Barack Obama's approval ratings have dipped to their lowest level since January on deep economic worries, wiping out most of his lead in the White House race over Republican rival Mitt Romney, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.

The percentage of Americans who approve of Obama's job performance dropped from 50 a month ago to 47, matching his mark in early January. The number who think the country is on the wrong track rose 6 percentage points in a month to 63 percent.

The doubts about Obama's leadership helped Romney pull to within 1 point of the Democratic president in the White House race - 45 percent to 44 percent - among registered voters with less than five months to go before the November 6 election. Obama led by 7 points a month ago."

Obama’s Jewish Support Drops 22 Points in New York

EXCERPT:

President Obama’s support among Jewish voters in the state of New York has dropped 22 percentage points in only a month, according to the results of a just released poll.

The poll, conducted by Siena College, finds that currently President Obama has the support of 51 percent of Jewish voters, while 43 percent are opposed to him.

Five percent are undecided. That means, Obama’s lead among Jewish voters is at 8 percentage points.

Previously, in Siena’s May poll, Obama had the support 62 percent of Jewish New Yorkers, while 32 percent opposed him. That means, last month, Obama’s lead among this group of voters was at a strong 30 percentage points.

I am always amazed at the 47 percent who still approve. With that many lost souls, one wonders how this country will survive.

But Hillary! might be. That what scares me about a too-early collapse of the Obama campaign.

But I can't see Obama willingly stepping down. Narcissists don't do that.

46% of registered voters supporting Obama today

An incumbent sitting at less than 50% of likely voters is in serious trouble. Sitting at less than 50% with registered voters? That's political death.

The bottom line is that this presidency is an abject failure and will end up on the trash heap of history.

Now the thing to do is to start running TV ads like CRAZY splicing in videos of His High Holiness The Great Obama embracing, high-fiving, kissing, power fist greeting various Senators and Congressmen of the Democrap Party who are in borderline, close races this year. Tie them shamelessly one and all into this individual Obama, the Destroyer, across the board. They will run from him as far as they can. But keep tying them to him, so that not only is Obongo kicked out of the White House, SCORES OF DEMOCRATIC SEATS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE that are able to flip into GOP control due to anti-Obama nationwide sentiment, can do so.

Ya know it wouldn't surprise me to learn Obama doesn't even want a second term. The job is too technical and nuanced for his capabilities and when you add his anti-capitalistic governing and document cover-ups it's bound to take it's toll on American citizens.

Obama is either smart enough to realize this and wants out, or he is too stupid to realize it! I say it's both.

Obama is not cut out for what it takes and everyone knows it now, especially liberals! Obama's words and actions are even beyond Carter stupidity! Willfully self-deceptive.

HAHAHA!

I’ve said for about 8 months now that the SS probably has Obama on suicide watch and keeps Michelle away from sharp objects. ;-)

I don’t expect Obama to finish his term and more and more I expect it to be due to a mental breakdown, possibly in public.

I agree. He’ll push it, and himself, right to the edge of the cliff.

I would agree but would amend the last part to say “thinking” liberals. I’ve sparred with both kinds on the internet and I am seeing that. Some are just soaked in the cool aid, but others see him for what he is and are not happy about it.

The Blacks are going to stay home which is a bigger problem. The unions may not even stuff the ballot box.

As am I. This would seem to me, and I will try to be as unbiased as possible here, one of those elections where the incumbant should get around 40%. Who knows...when it all shakes out and his base is so demoralized by Nov...it may shake out that way....but I am surprised that an incumbant with this record has any support. Just goes to show you how truly far we have fallen as a nation. When you tell others they can't sing God bless America/The USA...then God will eventually say: "OK...have it your way."

The poll finds that Mitt Romney would get 20 percent of the African-American vote [in NC] if the election were held today, compared with 76 percent for Obama.

I find that very hard to believe. Blacks didn't vote for him because they liked his policies; similarly, they won't vote against him because they dislike his policies,.

You are SO correct. I suspect the Stoopid Party won’t find the stones to pull the trigger, though.
