Poll: Working Class Voters Abandon Obama
Breitbart News ^ | June 4, 2014 | by MIKE FLYNN

Posted on 06/04/2014 3:34:34 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

A new CNN poll of Americans finds falling support for President Obama on every policy issue. On no single issue does a majority of Americans approve of Obama's position. On many important issues, e.g. health care, immigration and foreign policy, his approval ratings have reached new lows. Perhaps surprisingly, however, his approval ratings are worst among America's working class. Those earning less than $50k and those who haven't been to college have turned decidedly against Obama.

On voters' top issue, the economy, 61% of voters disapprove of Obama's performance. Just 38% approve. Obama's numbers are 7 points worse than they were on the eve of the GOP landslide in 2010. His approval ratings on health care, illegal immigration, gun policy and the federal deficit have all reached new lows, with Obama's approval mired in the 30s. On the deficit, 67% of voters disapprove of Obama.

As bad as these numbers are, they are worse among America's working class voters. On every issue, Obama receives lower marks from those earning less than $50k and those who never attended college than the general population. A staggering 67% of those who didn't attend college disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy, for example. 69% disapprove of his handling of health care.

But rest assured that the no/low information crowd WILL vote for Hitlery if she goes.

Well, of course! Her campaign slogan will be "I'll clean this mess up!"

Here's hoping the last time was the last time. I'm not completely ruling out that we will witness some kind of coup d'état.

He'll sign an Executive Order nullifying the Twenty Second Amendment, and run for a third term. Who's gonna stop him?

Working class voters are simply returning the “favor.”

Understand that a significant proportion of this sample is black.

So that, either:

a. The non-black segment is virtually unanimous in its disapproval of Obama.

b. Or the blacks are starting to question The Won's policies.

c. Or both...

I don’t care if they abandon the son of a bitch or not. They put him in a position to do his damage. They deserve each other, let them keep him. That is the same as some guy shooting you and as you are dying starts bawling and screaming, “I’m sorry I shot you”. the damage has already been done.

The real shocker is that anyone, anywhere, is still “with” him.

As far as I am concerned, the ones originally with the son of a bitch can stay with him. they put him where he could do his damage and when they were the ones being damaged started crying and left.

Divide and conquer. Absolutely correct. Lenin did exactly the same thing.
