Experts begin to doubt Obama’s re-electability

Where’s the evidence President Obama can win the 2012 election?

Where’s the evidence that swing-voters even want to listen to him?

Barack Obama polls below 50 percent in every state that matters. The economy has stalled, unemployment is much higher than the official number of 9 percent, and Hispanics and African Americans are disappointed. The president’s approval ratings have tanked, and the right-track/wrong-track number fell of the cliff in the summer.

Obama has reached the stage of political doom when voters’ disappointment is so deep that they just don’t want to listen to him, talk about him or watch him, said David Hill, a veteran GOP strategist and pollster, in an interview with The Daily Caller.

“Nobody says it to their loved ones … [and] they don’t want to do anything about it,” said Hill, who has worked for conservative and liberal Republicans on the East Coast, the West Coast and in the Midwest, since 1984.

A tipping point might have been reached in August, when the monthly jobs report showed zero new jobs, Republican pollster Glenn Bolger told TheDC. “With [George W.] Bush, it happened sometime in 2006, after Katrina and the 2005 Iraq situation,” said Bolger, who heads the polling firm Public Opinion Strategies.

Even Obama-friendly experts are close to dismissing him. Gallup numbers show the president’s approval at 41 percent, and show him trailing an unnamed “generic Republican” by eight percentage points, National Journal’s Charlie Cook wrote on Oct. 28. “These numbers certainly don’t show Obama’s reelection fortunes as hopeless, but they paint a very challenging situation

These experts are a little slow....I began to doubt he re-electability a year ago.

And that’s why we’re seeing new polling that shows Hillary beating any of the announced Republicans. This ball of twine has a lot of unwinding to do before next Fall.

[TexasFreeper2009]

The “experts” are usually behind the curve on this sort of thing, just like they are behind the curve on Cain.

[nascarnation]

Baraq is gonna get 42%.

Enough for a landslide loss or a Clintonian plurality win.

They are testing the waters to find a way to keep “ANY DEMOCRAT” in the whitehouse for 2012.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Neil Cavuto just said the economy is good and getting better and that this is all good for Obama making him a virtual lock to win again. Yes, he really said this.

If it's not there, 0bama will buy it, steal it, conjure it, and declare himself the winner and force a life term on us.

[Noumenon]

And yet, the GOP establishment elites want to put that grinning statist turd polisher Romney up as our choice.

[PGR88]

Those “experts” sure are smart!

[Georgia Girl 2]

When did the experts finally get a clue? This next election is going to make the landslide agains’t Jimmah Carter look like a close election.

[EGPWS]

Neil Cavuto just said the economy is good and getting better...

Saying it doesn't take the pain away and make it so.

Even the idiots know what is going on with the economy by actuality, words don't cut it.

[NCLaw441]

There is a year to go. I am not counting any chickens yet.

[GlockThe Vote]

We underestimate obama at our own peril. Anyone thinking is going to be a cake walk given the slate of candidates we have is kidding themselves.

[forgotten man]

Neil Cavuto might be half right. The economy is in a better place than the abys it was in. The stock market is a leading indicator and is better than it was at the low of 2009. What will hurt 0bama is the unemployment rate. The unemployment rate is a lagging indicator. If you don’t have a job and you can’t sell your house who cares where the stock market is?

[Ron C.]

Oh hell - all Obama has to do is stay in the race - and will likely win!

With so many conservatives on this board telling us how they will vote third-party because they won't vote for the GOP nominee if the nominee isn't their favorite candidate, Obama could easily win it handily!

"Now listen here! If you don't re-elect us more women will be raped and um, er.... um.... Don't mess with ME!"

[Recovering_Democrat]

Oh bull. Fox news had a story reciting how Hussein was a shoo-in.

[SandRat]

It ain’t improving in my book until I have a job again.

[spankalib]

Yep. I likes me sum experts!
Toasty soft? or rare? Yer pleasure, sir.
