This should really NOT come as a surprise, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, which has come out today, up to about 51% of Americans making it clear that they WILL NOT VOTE for President Barak Obama in 2012.
As more Americans see the damage of a little over two years by an out-of-control Obama White House in a number of areas, which includes the biggest, health care, coupled with the out -of -control spending that had taken place, first in the USA House of Representatives, up until November 2, 2010 when a new conservative GOP House that was just elected, and now just with the USA Senate still under Democratic control with the Obama White and with a new host of burdensome regulations, no wonder Americans are starting to wake up and smell the tea.
While it is still early, this should show that whoever decides to run for the White House in 2012, with a good number of USA Senate seats that will open up, with more USA House seats opening up as well also, better listen to the American people during the course of this year.

We’re stupid and don’t really know him.
Yeah say that now so in 18 months they can claim only 31% think so...
Only 51%?
Mr. Obama could close an umbrella, and still the press protects him.
Remarkable and pitiful.

Amazingly a lot of smart people in our party are acting as if he can’t be defeated in 2012, or that only one or two people could beat him. Any decent campaigner can slaughter this radioactive failure.
And Bill Clinton was only supposed to be a one term President.
I find your post highly offensive. What have I ever done to you?
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” — Author Unknown
51% of those polled may think he’s a “one and done,” but 55% in their recent poll want to make sure he isn’t.
I wouldn’t count him out...anything can happen in politics and he has the power of the presidency behind him to campaign.
Exactly. The fact so many voters could be pulled into that cult-like orbit in 2008 was disconcerting. They abandoned all good sense and threw themselves at 0bama, with no idea or care as to what he stands for. It was all about how they felt, not what they knew... or should've known.
This is perhaps why he’s spending like a wild man, abandoning allies by the truckload, and not helping Mexico with its crisis and not improving security at the border.
He, and Soros and cohorts, may be trying to create condtions where it’s necessary to declare martial law and then he can become president forever.
Obama will be reelected in 2012 unless we stay on Congress to do their damn job. If the Republicans don’t act like proper conservatives, and if they don’t TRY to do what we expect of them, Obama will ride his incumbency to a second term and there is a good chance he will be the last U.S. president.
I say TRY, because they will not accomplish every goal we have set before them. It is unreasonable to expect perfect completion when they face an uphill battle. HOWEVER, every single one of them needs to VOTE as though they know they WILL accomplish all goals, because it is their voting record that will tell the American people that they DO take us seriously and DO want to represent us. If they play the Beltway game like it is “business as usual,” the average and uninformed will fail to see what conservative policy can do to HELP the country, and the Democrats will effectively be given a mandate to destroy our way of life.
The greatest boon to Obama’s reelection campaign was the Republican gains of 2010. It sets the bar high and leaves no room for error.
Boehner, I’m talking to YOU!
We need to choose our candidate based on how well he/she can explain to Americans that limited government is what what we need and want, and that the Republican Party is the one that will deliver it, that the Republican Party is the party of getting the government off our backs and out of our pocketbooks. THAT is what will win.
Whether or not Obama gets the nomination again -- and I think it's doubtful -- is irrelevant.
Choosing a candidate based on who we think the Democrats are going to select is the prime way to be manipulated by our political enemies. I say let the Democrats nominate whatever idiot they want -- an idiot is all they'll have to offer, and it doesn't much matter which idiot.
The Republican party needs to ignore the "who" and concentrate on the WHAT -- to wit, that voting Republican is WHAT everyday Americans can do to get the government off their backs, in personal affairs as well as business and commerce.
Question, where is that 55% percent you ask?
Maybe the win Sunday of the Green Bay Packers from a conservative part of the country should send Obama a clue about 2012.
Well said.
