USA Today is quick to note that Obama does well in some measures unrelated to the economy:

Yeah...like golfing and sucking up to gays, perverts, (no pun intended) unions and islamics.

“Put bluntly, if you are delusional about the economy, it makes sense that you might be willing to vote for Obama.”

Maybe they aren’t delusional, when looked at from their point of view. A very large part of the democrat coalition are (1) government employeees, who have done very well in numbers, job security, salary and benefits (2) Entitlement program beneficiaries, who haven’t seen reductions or disappearance of their packages the way working stiffs have and (3) Groups like trial lawyers, wall-streeters et al, who are doing just dandy.

The only thing keeping Zero’s head above water? The ‘Fourth Estate.’ Called the Ministry of Truth in G. Orwell’s book, it was responsible for news, entertainment, education and the fine arts. And it corrupted each one of those areas. ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Google, Hollywood, Broadway, the NYT, LAT, your hometown newspaper, all news magazines, your school—grade, high school, university and on and on and on.

White guilt. But I think the continued violence by black flash mobs and other sorts of feral thuggery, even if buried by the lamestream media, is eroding that...thankfully.

Me thinks all these polls are false, manipulated to give the appearance that Obama is polling so well. Who are those being polled? No, Obama doing well in the polls is a fallacy. Even the handout crowd is disillusioned. They know if Obama gets reelected the EBT cards will not be loaded anymore, zilch. This might happen in October, Obama and the tinkle down the leg media will spin to say the Republicans and Romney are the blame.This will send the country into a tail spin.

Very good question....

Unless “the People” are generally as corrupt as the President and his minions..
And.. you know.. we might have now a federal givernment that represents “the People”..

Occams Razor demands that this is true..

Maybe not “as corrupt”, but “the People” have no passion for truth, and are intellectually lazy enough to accept the lies of the propaganda media without bothering to fact check.

That, combined with the fact that our re-education system is a giant Marxist moron mill, you have the election and possible re-election of the Kenyan punk bastard.

Obama is above water because he is CORRECT that, if the People want to continue to receive mountains of free sh*t without paying for it, want the state to mediate and even require equality of outcomes regardless of effort or desert, and want to do what they like, shoot up with what they like, f*** who they like when and where they like with someone else picking up the tab for the consequences, and want to have an army of low-wage workers at their beck and call to wipe the asses of the babies they don’t kill first, then a socialist dictatorship will be required.

Obama retains significant advantages of his own. By 2-1, he’s rated as more likable than Romney.

How can that arrogant p***k be likable at all?

The David Gelernter article was full of irony.

The author railed against Obama as The Machine Man, and I thought Powerline guys are For Romney.
