Easy.
41% backs Obama no matter what. Even if Obama initiated mass collection and execution of millions of Americans in death camps, they'd still support him -- in fact, he might even trend up.
On the other side, since the GOPe has told conservatives to pound sand, the Republican number is nearly halved.
41% + 35% = 76%.
Where's the other 24%?
That is you, and me.
That’s probably true…...
Good analysis, but disheartening.
Exactly right. The only poll number I care about it the D%, and it’s good news if that stays in the low 40’s.
I would not disagree with your back-of-an-envelope calculations. The numbers are there for everybody to see, so I really don’t understand the logic of the Crybaby Boehners and the Chinless McConnells out there, unless they’re playing to lose. I think they’d like to shake you and me off, even if it means losing.
i’d certainly answer neither if i was polled. I would vote sanely but not proudly.
Yup.
The GOP-e is afraid to articulate an anti Obama message.
The result is that 41% of the population doesn't think that there's a problem in this country, and an additional 26% of the population does think that there is a problem in this country, and that there isn't a RINO's hair difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.
The GOP-e so-called strategy is an utter failure.
Worse yet, when GOP-e pulled money away from Cuch in Virginia in a tight race, it further signaled that there are GOP-e types who are out to destroy the Republican party and all the things that it used to stand for.
