I think that the poll results in Ohio don’t tell the real story.Everyone I speak to hates and despises Obama,even those who voted for him.
Obambi’s national poll numbers will never sink below 40%.
The media won’t allow it to happen, plus there is a segment of society, the uber left and the blacks who will never abandon him, no matter what he does.
He could kill and eat a live baby on TV and they’d still vote for him. Its because of this and the media that his true poll numbers much like many other faucets of this man, will never be known...
Wyoming the smartest state and Hawaii the stupidest state. Amazing that at least 3 of 10 people are communists.

“Vermont...Rasmussen says 62 percent approve of Obama’s performance.”
I always wondered what brain freeze was like.
All in all, it is good to see the false messiah failing, but he is still way too popular, considering that he has now proven himself to be the naked Marxist puppet, out to destroy the USA.
He should be no higher then the 20s, nationwide.
If you want to know the meaning of brain freeze, come to Detroit. The O Man is still a popular dude in the rustbelt safe haven of Michigan.
Sadly,it’s the same all over the world.25-30 percent will vote socialist given the chance.
Here’s what I put together from this. If the election were held today Obama would gain no States over his 2008 run.
He would lose the following states that he won in 2008:
Colorado
Florida
Indiana
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Virginia
And the following states would be battleground states (currently within 2% or less approval / disapproval numbers for Obama):
Delaware
Iowa
Maine
Minnesota
Oregon
Rhode Island
Wisconsin
Da Stash is keepin things real in Detwaaaah
We are missing some states. There are 57 states you know.
Well put.

If amnesty for illegal immigrants does happen, along with a finite number of ways of cheating and combined with “politically ignorant voters” and “politically stupid voters”, then the left could win for the long-term. It’s all over for the U.S., just by allowing amnesty for illegal immigrants to officially happen.
Two words strike fear into the hearts of all leftists: “President Palin”
Will the GOP snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
