That's still a dismal number, but as Gallup notes, that's the highest number Obama has banked among swing Republicans since May. Gallup credits the bump, in part, to Obama's compromise with the GOP on tax cuts.

No, they wouldn't, but some RINOs did. They snatched defeat from the jaws of success.

The minor league propagandists that put this poll out would do well to remember how Goebbels and his family ended up.
You should have included Steele; he’s been a disaster.
Their efforts will fail again.
Mitt Romney (hiding somewhere):
Now that my Romneycare (funded 65% by US taxpayers)
is law, a little self examination is in order.
You may want to ask yourself
'if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney, could not
I have today garnered more support
of both President Obama and Governor Romney?'
Yes, it is relentless. It is so pervasive, it has become "Centrist".
If they rate 0bama anything but "EPIC FAIL", then they aren't Republicans.
We are smack dab in the middle of a fight for the very future of our country, and right now the enemy sits in the Oval Office, working feverishly to undo everything this nation has accomplished over the last 230 years.
In these times, there is no such thing as a ‘moderate’ Republican, only a closet democrat.
These are RINOs who occasionally turn off football and DWTS long enough to catch a 30 second soundbite about Barry “compromising on tax cuts” — IOW, totally clueless idiots who are not paying attention at all.
