Polls which ask voters for their thoughts on how the last election should have shaped up a year or two years after the fact are pretty much meaningless. The latest CNN/ORC survey which asks voters that question is no exception to that rule. Nevertheless, with just 100 days remaining before the midterm elections, this question is an instructive measurement of voter satisfaction with the president.
If voters had it to do all over again, 53 percent would support Mitt Romney over the 44 percent who would continue to back Barack Obama. The president’s remaining coalition is what you would expect it to be; voters aged 18 – 34, Northeasterners, Democrats, self-identified liberals and moderates, urban and minority voters.
Where the president suffers the most in this survey is among women. CNN/ORC found that women voters backed Romney over Obama by 52 to 45 percent. That is almost identical to the margins among male voters (54/43 percent) and dramatic reversal from 2012 when the nationwide exit polls showed women backed Obama by double digits (55/44 percent).
There is not much in the way of good news for Obama in this poll. A majority say Obama is not a “strong and decisive leader.” By 56 to 43 percent, voters say Obama does not agree with them on the issues they “care about.” Only 42 percent say Obama can manage the government effectively; 57 percent believe he cannot.

- Here is one black man that knows Obama’s Pansy Politics is dog crap :
- You betcha!

- meanwhile :
- I am seeing that the black Police Chief in Detroit Michigan has encouraged private citizens to legally purchase firearms and get good firearms training including safety, accuracy, and effectiveness.
- He moved from the West Coast to a city in Maine where he became Police Chief; he saw that private citizens with firearms cut the violent crime rate and he is now seeing the same results in Detroit.
- Let’s give this good man applause and encourage and support him.
- Sorry - I did not jot down his name - he should have a great future and I am sure the local citizens appreciate the opportunity to take advantage of the 2nd Amendment and are no longer disarmed by the local political radical progressive NAZIS that ride in Limos THE HONEST CITIZEN VOTERS MUST PAY FOR IN HIGH TAXES for and have dozens of FREE heavily armed bodyguards.
- God Bless this courageous and honest American!

The people who are changing their minds, should be shamed into never voting again.
Because come 2016, they will run right back to vote for the Dems.
I suspect the number of Obama voters with regrets would be higher, except that the dead don’t have regrets.
Point being, he couldn’t even ACT conservative.
To many can ONLY act ~6 mo before election time...then it’s back to the smoke/gin filled back rooms to praise our betters ‘from across the aisle’
Caveat Emptor.
the biggest mistakes are made by thinking one party is better than the other one, wrong....they are both the same, if you remember most of the crooks are in Washington D.C. they are con men how do you think they got there?
Personally, I look at each person, and if the belief of God is there and has been all along, and he has voted the way “I” believe he should have, and he has a good record, and is a strong person then I might vote for him...
the problem I see is: “They tell you what you want to hear until they get elected and then they do what they want or can to do what they want”
Emptor is mostly empty headed :)
In want to believe that is still true for most of America. I think if someone makes it perfectly clear that they love and respect this country and put good will and the rule of law above all else we can prosper once again.
There's not a day goes by that I don't fear for the future of my grandsons.
If we had eggs we could have bacon and eggs.. if we had bacon...
I’m a bit astonished that Hitlery has managed to obtain such a degree of separation from Obama in the polls. Her numbers have come back down to earth a bit from where they were earlier, but they’re still entirely too high. How can idiot voters out there not see that she would be a continuation of his failures, essentially a third term?
She’s going to try the whole “So.. now I bet you wish you had chosen me in 2008, eh?” line of argument, and I pray that voters wake-up in time to see that the idea that she’s a change from Obama is a line of B.S.
When Candy "check the transcript" Crowley injected herself into the debate and backed him down on national TV with a lie that he didn't challenge he might just as well have folded up the tent right then.
I always though if he had stood up right then and called them both out for the set up it would have brought him great support.
I fault his debate prep team for not seeing that one coming.
Too late. America doesn’t get a do-over for four years. Ignorant, stupid people penalize the rest of us by electing proto-dictators and their supporters in congress.
Yep, never again. I’m ashamed I voted for Romney.
We have achieved nothing since Reagan. It has been a long, slow and inexorable slide into socialism for the last 100 years or so.
And let me guess.. the respondents are so disgusted by the mess left by the excreble Obama, that only a true, proven leader can even have the remotest hope of cleaning it up:
Hillary Clinton.
Of course,it’s a no brainer. He wasn’t my choice, but this...
We just might not make it
It has been a long and painful realization that most every vote I’ve made for a Republican (since Reagan) has been wasted on an appeasing, equivocating RINO or not-ready-for-prime-time conservative has been a complete waste of time.
I am definitely not going to continue this delusion.
Well.. true to a point. But that post-Hurricane Sandy hug-a-thon between Chris Christie and Obama, which made Obama appear leader-like mere days before the election, turned a lot of voters. It created a (false, but nonetheless powerful) narrative that "he cares for people like them."
What, the dog-abusing polygamist who banned birth control, shipped jobs to India and went around giving people cancer?
These idiots saw the destruction Obama did his first term, with a promise to do more, and yet it was more important to beat Romney.
For those of us who chose to behave like adults, here's what we knew about Romney:
* Doesn't hate America, or American Exceptionalism
* Doesn't hate our historic allies like Israel
* Doesn't hate our Constitution and Representative Government
* Doesn't hate the free market and businesses
* Doesn't hate tax cuts
* Doesn't hate American energy independence (Keystone Pipeline)
* Doesn't hate the traditional American family
* Doesn't hate religion or religious freedom
Obama...YES TO ALL THE ABOVE!
You can try and comfort your consciences by saying: “Romney and Obama are exactly the same.” but we all know this isn't true!
I blame, at least in part, the 4 million douche bags who stayed home last presidential election for the ramped up chaos we are currently experiencing under Obama and the Democrats. You did nothing to try and remove the current Marxist from office. You are NO Patriots!
I'll bet Palin put on her big girl pants and voted for Romney. She knew who the real threat was.
