In this country today, I can not imagine any circumstance in which the Democrat presidential candidate, regardless of how awful they are, would not get 40 percent of the vote. Even in prior years that was almost unimaginable. Carter got 41, almost 42 percent of the vote. McGovern got 39%. It is a bottom below which Democrats almost cannot fall no matter what. For Obama to hit that level amongst registered voters is the bottom, the end for him.

And I could have added Mondale, he got 41 percent.

We’ve never had a crazy Marxist dictator president before. This is a whole new ballgame.

Clinton in round 1 only got 43%

Interesting perspective on post-WWII presidential polls.
