What in the heck is keeping Odumbo's poll numbers afloat? (Vanity)

What in the heck is keeping Obama's poll numbers from falling through the floor? With everything that is going wrong, and having some within his own party questioning his leadership, one would think that his approval numbers would be in freefall by now! Anyone have any opinions?

When I went thought College it was required that we take a course on propaganda analysis. We were taught how our leaders were lying to us. Even got to the point of showing how the Readers Digest was a propaganda tool.

Found out the other day it is not longer a required course.....

simply put, there will always always be stupid people around.

Look at the evidence:

Blumenthal won his election in CT, despite being proven to have lied about his military history.

alvin Greene, a complete moron and incompetent, managed to get several thousand votes in South Carolina

Nancy Pelosi, just about the cloest thing to pure evil that you can imagine, usually wins her elections in landslides.

Harry Reid, who has helped the state of Nevada into the worst unemployment rate in the country, won reelection.

Barbara Boxer, the elitest clueless buffoon, who helped send California into deep debt and sent jobs elsewhere, won her reelection.

So, any surprise that the Narcissist manages to fool SOME of the people all of the time?

There will ALWAYS be stupid people on this planet. ALWAYS. It’s up to the smart ones to save the world.

There was a thread on here in the last few weeks discussing how Obama is losing the white liberals and in particular white women.

He has a built-in 90% approval by the 12% of the black population (i.e., 11% of any poll is going to approve based solely on skin color). That means that among all other groups, he’s only getting about 35%-30% approval. You then have to factor in a good 10% white guilt which will not be willing to blame him for being an idiot because of skin color. Finally, you then have about 15% of the uber-left non-black voters who are simply crazy. That’s your numbers.

If he's "losing" them, that means he once "had" them, which is a lesson in futility. If they can be lost, they can be just as easily gained again, inane zombies that they are.

The mushy "moderates" are the worse, though. They have NO values, unlike liberals, who staunchly hold "values" which are satanic.

You’re absolutely right, and there isn’t anything accidental about it.

Granted that those who once governed and elected those who once governed are presently sick, polls have become a propaganda device. In all likelyhood the polls are “cooked.”

Yes, all of the above and they are still getting all their ‘entitlements,’ their welfare subsidies, food stamps, Section 8 housing — they see little change in their ‘lifestyles.’ And of course they pay no taxes. THOSE are the Obama ‘voters’ and a sorry lot they are, too! (Not to mention 99% of blacks and a huge percentage of latinos, too)

Between TV and women voters, a presidential candidate's appearance probably counts more than his competence.

‘Pubbies should keep that in mind when selecting the next candidate.

That is also a reason that pretty Republican women may not have a good chance at the presidency: Jealousy.

Barry is a black liberal. That makes people afraid to criticize him, even when they know he is doing a horrible job. It’s the same reason the birth certificate issue or the fake Social Security number issue don’t get any play in the MSM. It’s why no one wants to dig into his college years, or anything else in his past, much of it questionable. But all that aside, he is going to lose big come the next election.

He, like Clinton, has a base of 45% that will never see him as doing anything wrong.

It’s the breakdown in morals across the spectrum, if that makes sense. And we can’t stop it. Our children are awash in it and it is very difficult to turn around. Generations have already succumbed (i.e., the parasites). All I want to know is where we go to mobilize.

Everyone on this thread has blamed all the wrong people.

It’s not dumb voters. It’s not the media. It’s not blacks, or unions.

It is REPUBLICANS who are to blame.

Republicans who are afraid of their own shadow - go along Republicans too timid to take the fight to Obama, or even go to the mat for a measly 6 billion dollars in budget reductions.

Republicans, who don’t get it. Who were asleep while the Democrats were raising cane in Madison. RINOs. Compromising and playing nice.

While the entire leftwing propaganda apparatus is on 24/7 attack, Republicans are pretty much playing patty-cake. That’s not impressing anyone - especially independents.

Americans don’t watch chess tournaments or debate teams on weekends. We watch FOOTBALL. We watch hockey. Hits. Blocks. Tackles are what Americans are interested in.

Not nerf ball.

They’re afraid to take him on headfirst, so voters see nothing wrong with him.

When will the GOP wake up. The people whose *job* it is to tell the voters what is wrong with Obama are not doing so.

If Obama wins re-election it will be Republicans who handed the Whitehouse back to him, by being weenies.

I would really caution you falling into the liberal trap of painting all liberals with the same broad brush. They are not all the same.

Some of our most staunchest conservatives were once passionate liberals. They had reality smack them hard in the face and woke up. One of the radio hosts where I am was once like that.

I'd contend that these are very few and far between. Those that convert to conservatism are the ones who never gave much thought as to why they were modern liberals to begin with - upbringing, environment that doesn't give any other viewpoint, coercion, etc. And most kids are "liberal" to some extent until they mature; I'm not counting these into the mix.

Most liberals won't change even if presented with the most unimpeachable facts about the falseness of their positions. It's evil, not comprehension of truth.
