Obama Losing His Base? Washington Post

I think the teabagger/neo-nazi party is still in deep doo-doo....

Now the Tea Party is a kin to neo-Nazis? Why not just say they are pedofiles or murderers?...you would find just as little evidence.

Really LJ? I wanna know where you get your drugs- they must be really good!

Have you heard of John Wolfe?

Chances are, voters in Arkansas haven't heard of him either. And yet, tens of thousands of Democrats cast a vote for him Tuesday's presidential primary in the state instead of the incumbent, President Obama.

Wolfe, a Tennessee lawyer, won 42% of the vote statewide, and a majority of the vote in 36 of the 73 counties that had reported totals as of early Wednesday.

Obama is having a hard time just getting Democrats to vote for him!

Meanwhile, in Kentucky, just as big a percentage of Democrats voted for "Uncommitted" rather than Obama. Mitt Romney, who still faced more familiar names on the Republican ballot, won with bigger shares of the vote in both states.

Both results come weeks after a candidate running from a Texas prison scored 41% of the vote against Obama in the West Virginia primary.

LJ Just keep taking those drugs! Keep doing what your doing!

Its Arkansas...

....nuff said.

I'll stand by my numbers...because I can PROVE 'em...

You've accepted Rasmussen poll number when they suit your purpose. You want me to quote your post?

Will Obama's tepid support for homosexual marriage win or lose him votes? The jury is still out on that, especially with minorities, but it was nice to see the NAACP support same sex marriage last week.

So far, it appears to be WINNING him votes... I guess the independents are getting tired of the wedge-issue homophobic politics of destruction.

Poor GOP.. Just can't do anything right with Hispanics...

Republicans’ Hispanic problem — in 2 charts

New data from an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll that show President Obama leading former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney by 34 points among Hispanics set off a new round of speculation about whether Republicans can win in November if they can’t narrow that margin.

And rightfully so. But focusing just on 2012 actually underestimates the depth of the political problem for Republicans when it comes to the Hispanic community.

In short: Republicans’ Hispanic problem didn’t happen overnight and they won’t be able to fix it overnight either. That means that regardless of what happens in 2012, Republicans need to find ways to begin growing their support among Hispanics, or they run the risk of struggling to build majority national coalitions in 2016, 2020 and beyond.

NBC polls: Obama edges Romney in three key battleground states

President Barack Obama holds a narrow advantage over presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney in three of the most pivotal presidential battleground states -- Florida, Ohio and Virginia -- according to new NBC-Marist polls.

Of course, Virginia is that place where there's no "war on women", but the State reserves the right to stick a trans-vaginal probe up your hoo-hah in the name of "small government making sure that the desired outcome is attained on a pregnancy."

PPP: Arizona not really going to be a swing state after all

Arizona’s looking a little bit less intriguing for Barack Obama than it did three months ago, when PPP polled it in the middle of the Republican primary contest. At the time it was tied but Mitt Romney’s now opened back up a 50-43 advantage in the state.

Arizona makes a rare state where Romney actually has a positive favorability rating, at 46/45. Meanwhile Obama is unpopular there with only 41% of voters approving of his job performance to 56% who disapprove. Romney’s ahead 48-38 with independents. Obama’s dominating the Hispanic vote as he is most places, leading 63-35, but Obama’s going to have to keep it closer with whites than his current 56-36 deficit if he’s going to have a chance at carrying the state.

One thing that could make the race more competitive in Arizona, perhaps more so than other states, is Gary Johnson’s presence on the ballot as the Libertarian candidate. He pulls 9% in Arizona and he takes a lot more support away from Romney than he does Obama, narrowing Romney’s lead in the state to 45-41. History suggests it’s quite unlikely Johnson would really pull 9% in the end but it shows how many voters are unhappy with their main choices in this race.

It ain't over.

Ah...He lost me about 3 months into his presidency, but I will drag myself to the polls in November to vote for him and against Mit Romney
