Barack Obama approaches his nomination for a second term with the lowest pre-convention personal popularity of an incumbent president in ABC News/Washington Post polls since the 1980s. He’s also at his lowest of the year among registered voters, with trouble among women.
Just 47 percent of registered voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll see Obama favorably overall, down 7 percentage points from his recent peak in April, while 49 percent rate him unfavorably. He’s numerically underwater in this group for the first time since February.
The decline has occurred entirely among women registered voters – from 57-39 percent favorable-unfavorable in April to a numerically negative 46-50 percent now. That’s Obama’s lowest score among women voters – a focus of recent political positioning – in ABC/Post polls since he took office. Unusually, his rating among men, 50-47 percent favorable-unfavorable, is numerically better than it is among women, albeit not by a significant margin.
Obama’s Popularity Dips Underwater - ABC News
poor barack hussein obama, everything he touches---
runs away
his "personal favorables" for two years have been the only thing holding him up, according to now 100's of polls
why do polls always confirm public perceptions only as elections near?
ie, never believe polls too far out
so what should poor barack hussein obama do now---call the women racists?
nazis?
everyone else is
personally, i never thought it sold too well to have the president of the united states, especially in dark days like these, look thru the tv to all the women in america and say, "you need ME to secure your birth control pills"
like, what, i can't do it myself?
why is everything so class first in this man's thinking, why are people consigned by circumstance to a certain place always so trapped there in his view?
either way, americans just aren't like that, not real americans
we celebrate individuality, we thrive
as for the vote outright, as opposed to personal favorables, abc/wp says today that obama leads women by 5
he won em by 13 in 08 and certainly needs to replicate, if not beat, that demographic to succeed
just as obama's personal favorables have crashed, the media this weekend (nyt, wp, hfpo, politico and wsj) just dumped on the poor clump---personally
selfish, egotistical and dull, greedy, stingy, ultra competitive and not as good as he thinks he is, cocky, aloof...
barack obama is simply not a very likeable man
he's too chicago
maybe all the accusations of racism and felonies and cancer and heil hitler are hurting him
obama never understood mom, not mother america---she doesn't like petty personal debates, point scoring and gotchas
she has problems, she wants solutions, and she wants to move on
in her politics, i have said for decades, america is mom, that is, if you want to be successful electorally in this country you've got to reach mom
and you reach mom in the gut, she's much more family than feminist
taking God out of the party platform this morning aint gonna help
but it's who these people in charlotte are, and ya gotta be yourself
they swear a lot, they shouldn't
they're often vulgar, they act out in public---occupy, in my opinion, is about as far away from mom values as you can get
she's ok with gays, but she kinda wishes they'd show a little more respect, a little more decorum, in front of her kids
this election is going so poorly for barack hussein, he really might lose outright the women's vote
he might also lose youth
either way, he needs to duplicate the huge margins he won here in 08 to remain where he is
and he has no chance of matching 08's youth turnout
he's getting killed in the suburbs, bucks county and montgomery county and oakland county and cook, arapahoe, san bernadino, kern and ventura counties, all of which swung between 12 and 30 points between 2008 and tsunami tuesday, 2010
again, mom
mom is not too concerned with poor, underprivileged ms fluke's birth control pills
but the alarming incidence of youth-on-youth murders in chicago she finds tragic, and she finds the school system bizarre
barack obama is an abortion extremist---he led the move to kill born alive legislation in springfield not once, but twice
he's the only politician of national stature who owns such a voting record
what would bill clinton say?
enjoy the convention, comrades
when's the last time you called your mom?
