CNBC Poll: Economy’s Worse, but Obama Favored to Fix It
CNBC ^ | 9/25/2012 | Steve Liesman

Posted on 09/25/2012 7:10:52 AM PDT by tatown

A national CNBC poll finds President Barack Obama holds a commanding lead over Mitt Romney on the key issue of who would be better for the economy over the next four years.

Obama gets that nod even though Americans, by overwhelming margins, believe the economy is worse now than it was four years ago when Obama's term began.

Our latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey of 800 American adults across the nation shows Obama with a nine-point lead over Romney, 43 percent to 34 percent, on who would do a better job on the economy in the future.

At the same time, 55 percent say the economy is worse off than it was four years ago and just 22 percent think it’s better. Seventeen percent say it’s about the same.

This is the problem. No matter how bad things are or get the Obama crowd refuses to blame him. In fact those that blame him have shrunk considerable since June!

Un-effing-believable....

I don’t believe this BS. RATs, who admit to voting for the Apologist, aren’t voting for him again. I don’t buy the propaganda being spewed by the MSM or the bogus polls. Don’t waste your BP on believing any of this feces. These lies are being sent out hourly to demoralize us. MSM = Tokyo Rose 2012.

Obama is still going to receive plenty of votes from the "Like, OMG!" crowd. It's American Idol to them.

Please quit posting these depressing lame liberal polls. No one believes Obummer has a clue on how to fix the ecomony. He’s a train wreck. It wouldn’t surprise me if I read on here that a new poll shows Obama is really Morman and Romney is half-black. Enough is enough.

Considering the economic failure of this incumbent this race should not even be close nationally. It is. The only ads and spin I see coming from the Obama campaign are personal negative attacks vs the challenger basically because Obama has no record to run on and absolutely no ideas.I see no negative Obama ads put out by Romney. Romney needs to bring a gun to this knife fight.Can the soaring rhetoric for now and go negative on Obama and the Obama economy all the time to get Obama’s numbers back down.I want to see ads with plenty of foreclosure signs, unemployment office lines,high gas price signs, out of business signs ending with a photo of Obama on the golf course to emblazon this failed economy on the minds of the short term memory voters currently distracted by shiny objects the MSM and Obama campaign is flashing at them to distract them from the issue of this failed economy.

I don't believe it.

The press is pumping this crap out because they're so afraid he's going to lose.

It has always been a survey of all adults, and not of registered or likely voters. As a result, its results may not be comparable with other political surveys.”

With each passing year, intellectual quality of the American voter declines.

The “media” has for months directed them to believe Obama is THE MAN for fixing the economy. And like the pathetic, mindless sheep they are... they comply. Not even a bleat of protest.

Land of the free? Hope of the brave? Still? Really???

Romney certainly has his flaws, but he has forgotten 1000 times over more about finance, economics, business and leadership than Obama has ever known. To say otherwise is just stupid!

It worked for FDR for 16 years.
