Voters in 49 of 50 states sending message 'against Obama'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 10-14-14 | Paul Bedard

More voters in 49 of the nation’s 50 states plan to use Election Day to voice opposition to President Obama and his policies than those who want to show support, according to a shocking new poll that suggests the president is hurting Democrats this election season.

The president only has support in his birth state of Hawaii, where 27 percent plan to use their vote to show support versus 23 percent who said they will use Election Day as “a vote against Obama and his policies,” according to the poll published by YouGov.com in conjunction with CBS and the New York Times.

They show a graphic listing of all 50 states and it's colored mostly brown for a vote against Obama.

Leading the list is Idaho, where 65 percent said they will use their vote to protest the president, compared to 11 percent who want to show their support for him.

The poll could be bad news for some embattled Democrats, like Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor. In his state, 54 percent plan to use their midterm vote as a protest of Obama, just 16 percent a nod of support.

It could also help Republican Ed Gillespie in his uphill effort to defeat Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner. In the commonwealth, the ratio is 42 percent protest to 23 percent support.

Is that sound you hear the sound of 100 million heads popping out of 100 million anal exit passageways as they realize what 0 has done to us?

Well the 2nd district of Maine may elect a conservative Republican this November. His campaign slogan: “More jobs, less debt.”

“You mean I’m STILL going to be called ‘racist’ even though I voted for Obama?”

The dems weren't supposed to pay with their political lives for putting Obama in the WH

They probably wouldn't be paying at all if they didn't vote in lockstep with the Obama agenda.

HI appears to be the only state where support > dislike. No surprise, many are on the dole there.

I’ve come to hate Republicans. Not as much as I hate Democrats, but it’s close. I hate Republicans for their lack of principles, for their constant shape shifting, and unbridled self interest. Today’s Republicans are, in general, a collection of vile humans who should be nowhere near any sort of power.

Having said that, Democrats are much, much worse. I am absolutely furious at my fellow citizens for allowing Democrats to destroy this country. I will vote straight ticket R in November, regardless of the candidates. The Republicans could import Rob Ford from Toronto to run for Congress here, and I’ll vote for him. It’s the only message I can send. I know it’s not much, but it’s what I can do.

Even in the leftist fever swamps of his adopted home state, Obola is turning rancid.

If he loses Hawaii, can the bath houses, TV news rooms, and faculty lounges be far behind?

I pray this poll is accurate. Should be, but you never know.
