I think this goes a long way to confirming much that we all knew internally.<br /><br />You hardly see any mention of "bounces" anymore in the MSM because they know Obama isn't getting one -- he's been consistently getting 3% until it fades a couple days later.<br /><br />And I think the reason is, as I state above, that he's simply lost the public. He's still got the Democrats and they get excited whenever he makes a promise, but then they fade a bit when he doesn't deliver. The Republicans and independents have stopped paying attention.<br /><br />This bodes very, very poorly for the Democrats -- both in the coming elections and into the future. I think a good case could be made that they have ruined themselves for a generation.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-36876925989595537132010-02-01T21:22:33.154-05:002010-02-01T21:22:33.154-05:00nice work on digging that data out.

He mentioned Obama had gotten a little bump in the polls, but no details.

Too bad for Obama that he misread what his election meant. He thought it was just the crown on top of a huge shift by the electorate to the left. But these numbers show that didn't happen.<br /><br />I'm relieved he hasn't been able to do more damage, but sadly he's got three more years and a weak president is an invite for bad guys to do their worst.<br /><br />Let's hope the Republicans take both the House and the Senate and can impose good governance on him!<br /><br />In terms of the 27%, I agree -- that represents the size of the hard left and the stupid left. I suspect the "hard left" is probably around 10-12% and the stupid left (the people who believe that hope is a strategy) make up the rest. That leaves about another 16% in the moderate left and then 60% in the conservative camp.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-13070368288642321352010-02-01T20:15:07.148-05:002010-02-01T20:15:07.148-05:00It blows me away that he still has 27% that think ...It blows me away that he still has 27% that think his economic policies will work. But - - it does work as a real metric of the depth of the hard core left…in other words 73% disagree. <br /><br />As a whole those are some really bad numbers, and again proves the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, and the American people. Though Barry has an elected “super” majority, nothing happens without the consent of the governed, almost like a parliamentary systems “vote of confidence,” …the public say’s “el toro kaka!” LOL! <br /><br />Thank God! …he has been as ineffective, as we all feared, he would be…Barry doesn’t disappoint in that regard. I don’t like to think about how much he screws up when nobodies looking, for good or ill he is the president for at least three more years…I hope there are couple of adults in the room? <br /><br />If real America will stay focused we can start to turn things around in the USA. Dig the Barry’s bad numbers.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-26714331104742154352010-02-01T19:50:53.676-05:002010-02-01T19:50:53.676-05:00Writer X, I think you've hit the nail right on...Writer X, I think you've hit the nail right on the head. He's not what he promised, and because of that, he's done so much damage to his relationship with the voters that it's going to be extremely difficult for him to recover under the best of circumstance.<br /><br />And he's not facing the best of circumstances right now.<br /><br />What's more, he and his team either don't want to reconnect with the middle again or he doesn't know how. In either event, the longer he keeps running hard left doing the opposite of what he promised and acting like the corrupt despot handing out goodies to his allies, the more likely it will be that the damage will become permanent.<br /><br />In fact, I would argue that while the American people are some of the most forgiving in the world, he's about run out of second chances with them.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76461836864413689912010-02-01T19:41:55.588-05:002010-02-01T19:41:55.588-05:00Giving preferential treatment to Gov't workers...Giving preferential treatment to Gov't workers with student loans? How'd I miss that? And how did he say that with a straight face?! Favoritism, much?<br /><br />Great laundry list of why the majority of voters have not only lost trust but respect as well. He's become a punchline instead of a president. And he's become (at least to the non-liberal fringe groups) exactly the opposite of what he promised he'd be as Candidate Obama. He's dug himself such a deep hole, that I don't think he can get himself out--and he doesn't appear to want to change course one iota.Writer Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505411188186283813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-13721182562370161342010-02-01T19:20:49.170-05:002010-02-01T19:20:49.170-05:00ACG, Let's get more Reps all throughout govern...ACG, Let's get more Reps all throughout government!AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-75758044956809503992010-02-01T19:17:50.175-05:002010-02-01T19:17:50.175-05:00Let's get more Reps in the Senate!Let's get more Reps in the Senate!Game Master Rob Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08198920658123610173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-84729722734696233942010-02-01T18:45:06.163-05:002010-02-01T18:45:06.163-05:00Lawhawk, I figured there would be hard data out th...Lawhawk, I figured there would be hard data out there and this was it -- very strong data. Obama is in huge trouble!<br /><br />In terms of the Republicans, I think that Scott Brown really represented a sea change of sorts in that regard. Since his victory the Republicans have gained the momentum and seem to be bringing back the voters they've lost -- of course, it doesn't hurt that the RINOs are all losing their primaries, that the conservatives have moved into leadership spots, and that even Steele is talking like a tea party person.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-85902921427047071622010-02-01T18:33:25.411-05:002010-02-01T18:33:25.411-05:00Andrew: Now let's pray that those stunning ne...Andrew: Now let's pray that those stunning negatives can be translated into positive views from competing Republicans.
