WASHINGTON – The Obamamania that gripped college campuses two years ago is gone.

An Associated Press-mtvU poll found college students cooling in their support for President Barack Obama, a fresh sign of trouble for Democrats struggling to rekindle enthusiasm among many of these newest voters for the crucial midterm elections in three weeks.

Forty-four percent of students approve of the job Obama is doing as president, while 27 percent are unhappy with his stewardship, according to the survey conducted late last month. That's a significant drop from the 60 percent who gave the president high marks in a May 2009 poll. Only 15 percent had a negative opinion back then.

my neighbor’s kid was a big Obamoron. Worked on the campaign...drank the Kool-aid, etc, etc...
he graduated college last year, can’t buy a job. Every time I see him, I ask him how that hope-n’-change thing is workin’ out for him? he gets pissed off, i just laugh at him.

Our daughter, thankfully, is employed. However, many of her good friends who did well in school and had wonderful credentials still cannot find work. If this doesn’t wake these young people up, nothing will.

THEY GRADUATED!

And those Jobs that their dear-leader told them would be there . . . aren’t there. They’re having to live in their parents’ basements and they’re not happy.

Word gets around quickly on a college campus . . . Obama lied, our promise of jobs died.

Vote Republican, even if you have to hold your nose.

These kids think it’s bad now? They haven’t seen anything yet. When they graduate and enter the job market then they’ll realize just how much Obama has screwed them.
