Politico: Obama losing independents
Hot Air ^ | July 09, 2009 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 07/09/2009 6:46:35 PM PDT by RobinMasters

We’ve already seen this trend coming from the Rasmussen national polls, and now Politico reports that Rasmussen has substantial corroboration of their reports. Independent voters have begun rejecting the big-spending programs of Barack Obama, especially as they show little return on the vast fortunes he’s spent thus far. That means trouble for Obama in swing states that he carried relatively easily just eight months ago:

Obama retains extremely strong support from Democrats, and earlier this year lost much of the Republican support that followed a giddy Inauguration. It is the independents who appear to be currently on the move: Obama dropped 6 percentage points last week from the week before in Gallup’s tracking poll, and Quinnipiac University found a 5-percentage-point drop in approval from independents between early June and early July. Recent state polling shows drops over longer periods.

RATS and Independents don’t want him or the Congress (his accomplices). Good ship is sinking fast and may the Congress sink too.

Well la-di-da! Sorry you "high minded" fools - you're too late--you've ruined it for all of us.

All of you "I vote for the person, not the party", thinking it makes you soooooooo superior. If you would have done 10 minutes of analytical brain work we wouldn't be in this mess, now would we?

And no, it would not be John McCain in the White House either - his nomination was the doings of the very same mindless, convictionless bunch of fools.

"10 minutes of analytical brain work we wouldn't be in this mess, now would we?"

You got that right!2 items on internet should have turned ANYONE off Obama--the pic of him with hands folded in front during the anthem; the Youtube video of his PBS interview stating our Constitution was written flawed.

Throw in his total lifelong associations with card carrying Communists, sitting in a black liberatiion church for 20 years, and a moron SHOULD have seen what kind of Hope and Change he wanted to usher in.
