With his base of supporters crumbling and his polls tanking because of high gas prices and the economy, President Obama is facing more bad news today. In a new poll released earlier today, an astounding 46% of Americans stated that they would "definitely not vote for" President Obama.
In the 2008 race, Obama received 53% of the vote against 46% for John McCain and Sarah Palin. This new poll takes into consideration those voters who did not cast a ballot in 2008, including some that may have come of age in the previous three years.
This news has serious implications for the President, who just recently announced that he would be running for a second term in office; namely, that only 54% of Americans would even consider voting for him at all.

Probably the same 46% who didn’t vote for him the first time around. I am no longer willing to underestimate the stupidity of the majority of American voters. Make that people who vote in American elections...not all of whom are American.
Far fectched? Was Government Motors conceivable ten years ago? Or $1T gift to the banks only 5 years ago?
Or $3T bailout of foreign banks on U.S. taxpayer's dime only two years ago?
James Buchanan was by a huge margin the second worst president in history (and only second place if you pretend that Obama qualifies for the job he has usurped), and I’d still vote for Buchanan’s decomposed body over Obama. Carter takes third place, and he’s still breathing, so he can still make the terrible mistakes he’s famous for, but I’d take Carter over the communist thug currently occupying our White House.
So all the democrats need to do to get a plurality is split the opposition by encouraging a third party. Those of us who find Romney or Huckabee objectionable might assist Obama's reelection by bolting the GOP. Watch it happen
Hmmm, I thought He was the Wookies pet.
How about on his knees in Boystown.
Furthermore, it is 46% of all Americans won’t vote for Obama, not likely voters.
In 2008, voter turnout was 57% of the voting age population, thus 43% of those who could vote, didn’t.
So, I could say that in 2008, at least 43% of all Americans didn’t consider voting for Obama (they didn’t consider voting for anybody).
Obama’s negatives are huge.
He won with all the blacks, Hispanics, Jews, liberals, lifelong Dems, and plenty of independents. Several radio talk show hosts here in LA who are to the right of center voted for him too.
He has lost all the independents, all the crossover Pubs, half the Jews and Hispanics, and every lifelong Dem who lost his or her job or 401k. Gone. They will not vote for him even with his $2 bil spending on his campaign.
Obama only has blacks and liberals. Period.
The SCOTUS did not say the case would not be heard. They said that they will wait until the other 15 cases have been decided in the lower courts and then rule on all the cases at once.
Yeh wait until next year when gas is $6 per gallon and every night is beat whitey night on the train.

If those numbers hold, Obama gets a second term with about the same electoral vote margin he got in 2008. Those numbers are not encouraging to the GOP candidate.
Really? You seem to assume that all of the 23% "considering" will vote for Obama. They are the undecideds. I can't imagine worse numbers for Obama at this stage. There is still a long way to go, but these numbers are devastating. The Reps just have to get 5% or 6% of the undecideds and they will coast to victory.
Election day is still far away and the numbers can change dramatically, but to say that these numbers are not encouraging to the Reps is pure sophistry.
You mean Eric Holder's people.
:>)
What really stinks is that those 23% of the voters now get to define the entire agenda for the next election...
It's not going to be the folks who vote that will determine the next president - it will be the folks who stay home.
I don’t think so. The 46% should define it for Reps. Obama will have to move more to the center to attract the undecideds where he has a real problem compared to 2008. The 2012 election will be a referendum on Obama. Hope and change won’t cut it anymore. Obama has a record—and it ain’t good.
That’s a rosy prediction...why would it be beat Whitey?
