Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.
Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago.
The poll asked those who voted for Obama's reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”
— Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.
— 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.
— 84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.
— 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.
Still, given the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy, 79 percent to 10 percent for Romney.
But his voters seem to have moved on and are ready for the next election, giving Obama very early lame duck status before the midterm elections. The poll, for example, found that Hillary Clinton has a higher favorability rating than the president. While Obama is underwater in his ratings, Clinton is buoyed by a 50-percent favorable to 43-percent unfavorable rating, with a sizable 28 percent rating her “very favorable.”

I agree. If a poll gets 100% of anything, something ain’t kosher. As much as I’d like to believe this poll, I’m not buying it.
Fooled ‘em once ‘o8 shame on Obamboozle. Fooled ‘em twice ‘12 shame on them. They got what they voted for and their regret is skin deep. They’d vote for BOZerO again in ‘16 if that were possible and they would regret that too.
What that tells me is democrats find Obama to be too moderate for their tastes. They think he's slow-rolled and gone way too soft on the issues they care about, such as legalizing every illegal, instituting a single-payer health care system, and directing states to recognize homo "marriages."
There's trouble brewing in the Democrat Party.........................
Obama’s remorseful voters are mad because he isn’t giving them freebees the way they imagined he would. After all the hype, it is the same ol’ plantation grind.
These voters believe Hillary will provide enough “bad-ass” to bring Obama’s agenda to fruition. Hard to say how much muscle can be applied by a “woman” who will be 77 by the conclusion of her second term.
Being a man (i.e., leader, protector, provider) has always been a daunting task—These days it’s especially challenging.
Much easier to cede those responsibilities to the government, at least initially. The personal Hell comes from knowing deep down inside that you’re not living up to the role assigned to you by God.
Self-hatred and striking out at others is frequently the result.
Most of the buffoons who voted for Clown Prince nobama will either not bother to vote next election or will advance in their knumb-skullery by continuing to vote for LIBs/DIMs. Fools.
Because they think he is way too Conservative. Meaningless poll.
LOL!
Do not ever under estimate the power of the Clinton machine or the fanaticism of the communists to see their agenda through to fruition. We did so with the current regime leader much to our detriment.
Still hopin’ fo dat Obama-stash!!!
39% of blacks said yes or no comment - that’s a sign if nothing else is.
Note that the history of presidential veto overrides indicates that Congress has used this power as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also Clinton.

I cannot believe that the GOP is not linking Hillary to Obama at every turn. Or, calling Obama a proven liar with every sentence. Oh, yeah, stupid party. Never mind.
Anyone who voted for Obama twice should have a long talk with themselves culminating in a vow to recuse themselves from all future presidential elections.
I feel a round of golf is in order for the one.
Idiots! Every fricken one of them!
Please don’t vote in the next election! These fools are the low information types more than likely who will swoon all over Hillary! 2.0 no matter how much more deep in chit the country finds itself in 2016. They will tell us they want to vote for the first woman! They suck!!!!
” 84 percent of women said yes,”
Well, when you are willing to sell a vote for the cost of a rubber, then you’re bound to have regrets....
Sackcloth and ashes, folks.
We might forgive them if they go to the streets and call for his impeachment.
