Obama appears to have started his freefall. It started today.

The tumble continues. Today achieved another low water mark.
Thanks for the update.
Another low water mark today.
for those of you that are still doubters...you’d best start watching what’s going on. This tumble to oblivion does not appear to be temporary. It is steady and persistent and regular. I do not think this is a blip.
check back in 5 days and see for yourselves. Then in another 5 days.
My ignorant opinion is he is headed for 40% and once he gets there he will never see 50% again and will lose the election in an embarrassing loss.
I've thought for a long time, that the real election would be the Republican primary, and that whoever prevailed in that, would become the next president without question.
Obama has committed more egregious transgressions and errors in his term in office, than any president I've seen (or even imagined) in my lifetime. There isn't another president who comes close to his level of abject incompetence, mixed with illusions of grandeur and power, in our entire history. He's not just a personal failure, he's the American people's failure.
And what a monstrous failure it's been. His awful polling numbers reflect that. We're not the only ones who are aware of what a complete disaster this guy's been. He's hopelessly lost a great many of those who got caught up in the history of electing him president, and has no possible chance of getting them back, now that he's destroyed so much of the basic economics they rely on.
Frankly, I don't think Mittens has to do much of anything to take the White House this November. He may not win in a landslide, but it's looking more and more like he'll beat Obama handily. That's how unbelievably rotten Obama is.
It’ll probably be closer than that, but then again Zero’s gangs of cheaters have never had to face the Romney machine, or any other meaningful opposition. I mean, seriously, just put a D after your name and TRY not to get elected in Illinois.
That's certainly what I'll be praying for every day! I don't just want to see him loose, I want to see a loss that will make Walter Mondale's loss to Reagan look like close race!
that will be hard to do
The 1984 election was one for the history books. It will stand for a good many more elections.
But I like your sentiment.
I’ve been watching now for almost 2 months, and I agree with you. This is new territory on the downside, and it’s unmistakable.
Funny thing I’ve noticed is, even though the trend is clearly down, it seems like someone is trying to manipulate the price. The price will spike up, then once is starts to lose lift, drop back down. It almost seems like someone is trying to create the appearance of market strength, but then get back out of the position before they lose money.
Leaving the price each time after that cycle, a bit lower than the time before.
Right now it’s at 56 even, which is down almost a full point today alone.
Lowest I’ve seen it.
I don't think your opinion is ignorant at all. At this point in the race, Obama should be doing far better than he is. Even the much hated Jimmy Carter had a much better approval rating in the summer leading up to the 1980 vote.
If the Repubics were running a beloved and respected conservative right now, Obama's numbers would be even worse. I believe that Mittens will become the next president by default, only because people perceive that he's not as bad as Obama.
A lot of Americans will be willing to vote for a turd sandwich, if it means getting rid of Obama.
The Democrats have never had a crisis quite like this before. In LBJ's time, he and his advisors understood that he didn't stand a chance of re-election, and so he bowed out early enough for others to mount serious campaigns against the Republicans. The fact that Team Obama are going forward, despite the horrifying poll numbers, just shows you how sick in the heads they are.

Exactly right.
I hope they are humiliated like no one has ever been humiliated. They deserve only the very worst.
I hadn’t thought about your theory.
Any time a market of any kind goes up or down...it does so like a the edge of a saw. There are ups and downs, sometimes wild crazy ones...but the trend is a clear trend in hindsight. You can draw a straight line through the “centroid” (or whatever you want to call it) of the jagged saw-toothed line and see where the trend is heading.
I think in any market there is going to be people trying to make a buck or minimize their losses at each “tooth” of the sawtooth climb or fall. I don’t think what you are describing is unique to this particular market. I think the same is true in any stock or metal or anything.
Amen brother. No one deserves more humiliation than they do. I think that most of us here would like to see them all in orange jump suits and leg irons.
Here it is, half a month later, and the trend is still slowly marching forward. Romney got above 40% today.
Thanks, mamelukesabre.
The evil bastard is in deep trouble.
Thanks mamelukesabre, update time all.
The flip side, of course, is that Obama is slowly marching backward, which is the only thing that gives me joy in that report.
If we'd nominated a real conservative, I think Obama would have already stepped out of the race.
naturally, when one of the two goes down, the other goes up. There are only two left in the race now so now this is the way it is going to be from here on out.
That’s a stupid gambling sight!
ok.
What’s the stock market then?
