Washington Post Poll: Growing Numbers See Obama as Old Style, Tax and Spend Democrat
Lots of interesting data from the ABC News/Washington Post poll today. Read a summary of the top line findings here.
The four-month trend in the question below is probably producing a Rolaids moment for Obama. The overall results are troubling enough. But I suspect the numbers are even worse among swing voters. Unfortunately the poll doesn’t report results among independents. However, support for Obama dropped off almost immediately after inauguration day among Republicans. Democrats still strongly support the president. So lots of the movement in the chart below probably comes from independents growing disenchanted with Obama, a trend evident in a number of other polls like this and this.
These Americans are growing increasingly frustrated with the gap between the president’s moderate rhetoric and the liberal policies produced by Congress. Their concerns are manifested in results like this:
Which of these statements comes closer to your view: (Beneath it all, Obama is an old-style, tax-and-spend Democrat) OR (Obama is a new-style Democrat who will be careful with the public's money).
“Growing Numbers See Obama as Old Style, Tax and Spend Democrat “
. . . on steroids!!!!

“exactly... why did they think he was any different?”
Honestly, I seriously doubt that there was any thought put into him at all. I pray that those who voted for him choke on that “hope-n-change” crap.
0bama has lied about everything so far. The independents disapprove of him now and people are getting veeery suspicous!
And 0bama will get on the TV Wed. night and (hopefully break into dancing with the stars and piss people off even further) to sell his atrocities and threaten that; we all don’t support nurses if we don’t support ObamaCare.
NEWSFLASH to RAHM: it ain’t workin no more.
Exactly! Even Democrats here are calling him a Marxist but it is Oklahoma. He only got 34% of votes in Oklahoma in 2008, and I would bet he wouldn’t even get 25% today here. Doubt if they poll Oklahomans.
Wanna bet on whether 0bama on Wed. night when he cuts in on prime time AGAIN says again-don’t listen to the naysayers?
He thinks it will work.
It is like two different people. I don’t think I have ever seen such a disconnect between a campaign and someone who was elected and how they govern. His way of governing with all the Czars at $182,000 a Czar plus 10 employees each should be a red flag for everyone that he wants no accountability. He wants to be a dictator but even the Dems are starting to wake up a little.
No one spends over $1M to keep their records of birth, schooling, and passport secret. What a waste of money and what is he hiding?
0bama has us on notice! Don’t bet against him! Ever notice how he talks down to the American people but talks up to the Terrorists!
I haven't either.
The blessing in disguise may be how he overplayed Porkulus, which ain't "stimulating" anything but state and local government. It's so bad the public is getting skeptical about his health care plans.
I've been around a long time and there are some things that NEVER change with most Democrats:
-Soft on crime
-Expect no personal responsibility from their constituents
-Weak on national defense
-Loathe the U.S. miliary
-Lack of Statesmenship/Strong on street politics
Fox is all over the dropping poll numbers and is questioning the urgency factor of the health care reform big time!
“Growing Numbers See Obama as Old Style, Tax and Spend Democrat”....
What a bunch of idiots!....Obama is way beyond this label. He’s a whack left radical for God’s sake!....
I think you are correct that he has overplayed his hand and he did it a lot quicker then I thought he would.
I’m increasingly thinking his health care disaster isn’t going to happen before the Summer recess. Still, he might be able to Rahm it through the House this Fall using his bare-knuckle Chicago style, but I see real trouble in the Senate. It’s just gonna get tougher as his numbers fall. We may yet win this one!
This explains his snarling update today on ObamaCare.
One must also remember that Obama stole his Senate seat in the first place. Illegally accessed the divorce court records of his opponent (Ryan) who was way ahead in the Senate race and gave to all his drooling press whores.
Buyers Remorse has found the swing voter, who was so disgusted with many of the Bush administrations moves they were willing to buy into the “anyone is better than Bush” stuff.. now they have realized they were wrong and this guys a dud, and are and will be deserting this schlub in droves.
This guy will be lame duck by the end of the year.
Wash Post is sugar-coating the bad news, as usual.
The true headline, if told: "Growing Numbers See Obama as Extreme anti-American Communist, Marxist, Islamist, Terrorist, Usurper, Pretender, Fraudulent POS"
Obama, looking like an aging gay pimp, declined to comment.
