I am a regular Gallup “pollee”. However, I am not one
of those who are asked political questions on a regular basis. Instead, I am part of those who are asked to
participate in typically inane surveys about products, work, vacations, and health. When GW was president almost
every survey included an initial question asking me to
rate his performance. Since Obama has assumed the office
I am rarely asked to do so. And, maybe once a year am I
offered a completely political oriented survey. I suppose
they feel they already have enough conservative respondents.
I have a cousin who will always be among those who approve of him. She stopped speaking to me just prior to the 2008 election because I was clearly NOT an Obama supporter. At least that’s something good that came out of all of this... I tried to get her to stop talking to me for years, and nothing else seemed to work. Incidentally, other family members have confirmed that she supports him mainly because he is black, even though nobody knows of her ever having anything to do with a black person at anytime in her life. Like a lot of other white libs, she must feel that being an Obama supporter fills some sort of a quota in her life.
