Forget this poll and all others taken before. Mitt Romney has not yet begun to really fight Obama. Until we get into August, it’s useless to follow any poll. The vast numbers of American voters are not yet tuned in to the POTUS election.
However, things to note: Obama had a dismal campaign opener in Ohio where he addressed a half filled college arena. Obama poll numbers have been underwater for months, the economy is in deep recession, Obama cannot hold a campaign rally in public, other then on a college campus arena or labor union hall, etc. I predict things will get a lot worse for this failed POTUS, Obama on a number of fronts.
My own demograpics suggest he will lose big time to Romney, not because Romney is overpowering, but... because Obama should be a dogcatcher rather then USA POTUS. Right now, I predict: Romney, 55%, Obama, 45%. Over time, and, as Romney ramps up and gets better known, the polls will really start shifting in Romney’s direction. With luck, Romney could garner 57% of the votes cast versus 43% percent for Obama. Millions of young voters and American Blacks will sit on their hands, come election Day, November, 2012.
Obama will lose, that is certain. But.....the real damage will be the almost destruction of the current Democrat Party. Obama will drag down literally hundreds of Democrat officeholders all across the country. IMHO, The Democrat Party would be wise to broom Obama right now, either by forcing him out of office or, having Obama decline to run for re-election. Anything less means a “train wreck” of devastating dimensions for the Democrat Party.
That is exactly the type of political obliteration that the RATS deserve - from White House to local dog catcher.
I love the thought of Obama losing and dragging all his cronies down with him.
Contrary to popular opinion here, I think Romney has the best chance against Obama of our candidates. I won’t rehash the old arguments here.
The dems lie without shame or hesitation. There was a girl named Margie (I think) on F&F this morning who was claiming Obama would win because he had created so many private sector jobs and people want to see that continue.
It’s amazing how they can say stuff like that and appear to mean it.
