Not in my area.
I see zero Obama ‘08 stickers. I see zero Obama ‘12 stickers.
I hear constant anti-O conversations and regret by those who voted for him. He won overwhelming in my area. They won’t support him this time.
I live in a city with many minorites expressing their anger at O. I get out and about, so it isn’t just we political people who believe he can’t win.
Others need to chime in on their areas, but I’m guessing the response will be the same. Detroit is the possible exception which is why he made his jobs speech there among the welfare and government largess parasites. :)

Well, I know his people poll and focus group everything, and all indicators are that it’s safer for BHO to anger his base (minorities of all types and far leftists) by not going as far as they want him to right now, because when it comes down to the wire, they’ll still vote again for their first black president before they’d EVER vote for a Republican. And BHO’s team knows this.
I think a fair amount who are really disgruntled (or apathetic like some of the kids) may just stay home, but I’m really afraid that the majority of those who are disappointed in him right now are still in denial and feel that he’s trying hard but just being sabotaged by House Repubs and the dastardly Tea Party.
The people I know who voted for BHO but are disappointed just don’t want to talk about it, or deflect by verbally attacking “tea baggers”, Boehner & co., or that good old standby, Bush/Cheney. But they’d rather die than vote for BHO’s opponent, regardless of who it is, in the general election. God knows we’ve got plenty on our side who refuse to “hold their nose” and vote for an impure RINO, but imagine how the Left feels about voting for an enemy Party!
I’ll grant you, there are some open-minded people, like old-fashioned/moderate Dems and hopefully, a lot of Independents, but only time will tell what percentage they make up of prior voters for Hopey-Changey.
