It’s still that high?
Riot Breaks Out Waiting On Section 8 With Thousands In Atlanta! [Video]
Theyre gonna have to dig up a 3rd party candidate to split up the opposition if hes to have any chance. If this keeps up, even that may not save him!
*************************
It would take the combination of a weak or unpopular GOP candidate and a third party candidate. Romney could still win it for Obama.
What was the reason for Carter’s poll bump in the winter of 1979? Beginning of the Iran hostage crisis?
Taft’s support was in the NE. Roosevelt was the populist candidate in the West.
If you divide up the states by suppressing the Wilson vote, you see this.
Palin’s supporters are closer to Roosevelt’s supporters then they are to Taft’s. Taft’s are closer to Perry’s.
Recall what Rush pointed about Wolf Blitzer and Bush’s fallen approval numbers.. NOTE youtube video unavailable. Transcript is here. I guess Rush will do this again tomorrow.
You are one of the few people on here that understand that.
I see a lot of what happened with Bush with Perry. People are projecting what they'd like to believe he is all about onto him out of sheer desperation to have a "dream" candidate.
Wow, 54% disapproval for a sitting Prez....not sure anybody has ever survived numbers like that.
Rush said he would have a little talk with Trump on the golf course about NOT running as an independent.
“Makes you wonder who the 39% are.”
~12% of America is black, ~15% is hispanic, that leaves ~12% of the approval among white liberals+others. (Yes, I know that’s not really the way it works. Or is it?) :)
What, can't happen you say? I beg to differ, just ask Will Smith!
I am no political guru, but I have noticed something where I work.
Employees, including myself, figured that the worst was over, and we had survived being laid off.
However, none of us feel safe any longer. Unfortunately, we now think that things are still going to get worse.
The people here who voted for Obama are starting to understand that we can’t survive if he is in office for a second term.
I would say if we could ask the entire Country, it’s ~30%.
Good-bye, BHO.
Does Great Leader still give good speech? If so, expect more speeching.
If the GOP chooses Romney, and Palin were to jump ship and form her own party, yes, it’s quite possible still.
Obama is weaker than Wilson, though.
And you have to remember that Obama’s support is broad, but not very deep. His highest approval rating at present is in Connecticut. Wilson was topping out around 90 percent in the deep south. Wilson had a base of about 120 EC votes that he won by at least 30 percentage points.
Obama’s not even leading by 20 anywhere anymore. So the support is much weaker for him.
Given a three way split, his numbers would still be very favourable at this point, but even the third place person would be around 29 percent if he’s at 39.
If he weakens around to 35 he’s toast.
I'd like to have a blowout..
but...
Whatever it take to get 1 electoral vote LESS than the pubbie
Truman survived. He was also in the 30’s later into his first term than Obama. He started picking up in early ‘48 and managed to climb up back high enough in time for the election.
Obama’s closest match is hey hey hey, LBJ, who hit 39 and then started to climb again. Carter was much lower than Obama is now.
I agree with your points, and I believe he will weaken even as out economy does.
Democrat Party, simple, dump Obama now or go down with him in November, 2012!!! You need to force both Obama, the hate America POTUS, and that moron, idiot, VP, Joe Biden to resign like right now!!! And.....folks in Iowa, the America destroyer, Obama will be going through your state and the midwest the next few days via a bus tour!!! Give him and his entourage naught but the cold shoulder and boo him to the maximum. His minions will try to manage his movements, but....that will fail because the voting public is now wise to his manipulations!!!
