Rove: Obama’s Low Poll Numbers Surprising
Newsmax ^ | 08 Jun 2011 | Hiram Reisner

Posted on 06/08/2011 8:57:05 AM PDT by Qbert

Former presidential adviser Karl Rove says a Washington Post-ABC News poll that shows President Barack Obama’s numbers slipping does not bode well for his 2012 re-election chances.

[Snip]  

Rove said he is surprised that Obama “is at this point behind a Republican candidate for president among registered voters and . . . among people who are not anywhere near as well known as the president. The president is basically 50 percent against all the likely Republican first-tier candidates. That’s not a good place for the president to be.

“Who knows who Tim Pawlenty is? Not that many people. Who knows who John Huntsman Jr. is not that many people,” Rove said. “And for the president to be stuck . . . three years into the term in office . . . at 50 percent is not a good sign.”

I’m glad that we have Karl Rove around to point out the obvious. But then it might actually get printed if he says it, so...

It’s not just Obama. It’s the Democrats. It’s not just Obama. It’s the Democrats. It’s not just Obama. It’s the Democrats.

Exactly.

What’s sad is that he always points out the obvious- but then he still doesn’t understand why it’s so obvious.

Anyone who is out and about amongst the common people will know exactly why Obomba’s poll numbers are weak.

Apparently, this is not something Rove does with any frequency.

I am surprised his numbers remain so high. Seems like he should be at about 30% (25% black).

Since Rove is saying it, I’d like more proof.

Yep.

He should be embarrassed for making a statement this clueless (but he won’t, of course).

Rove isn’t saying that he’s surprised that Obama is doing badly, because you can’t move so large a percentage of the productive part of the economy into the unproductive part amd expect the productive part to be productive.

What he is saying, and he is right, is that it’s very untypical for a president to be doing so badly, that he could theoretically lose against a dust bunny running as a Republican.

You have far too many white guilt liberals who are never going to admit they were epically fooled by a slick snake oil salesman with a good suntan.

—Rove is like a computer that spits out tons of data and fancy charts- but has absolutely no way of understanding or analyzing what any of it means.
