Oooh he’s now starting to consistently be in the double negs. Careful though. We have nobody good planned for 2012 - we could be looking at a Bush-style 2004 reelection.

Yep.

Not to mention Obama isn’t up for election soon. So the MSM isn’t singing his praises as they will beginning in 2011. The MSM will sway the weak-minded, (which is a large number of Americans).

Don’t be snide, I know we’re a long way out and anything can happen. If you can name a candidate that we can just pull out of a hat that will be ready to capitalize on Obama’s spiraling negatives, I’m all ears. Pawlenty? Romney? Huckabee? No thank you, no thank you, no thank you. Who else you got?

In three more years, enough of the country will be BEGGING for Sarah to save us.

The real question is, will we ever again have a fair election free of game-changing voter fraud?

Barney Slime Frank

and the rest of the arrogant slime in the US Congress?????

My prediction is that We The People despise and find all of them a national disgrace and will vote them out at the first opportunity.

You know, I’ve given a lot of thought to that, and even though I am far from certain she would win, I have decided that I would back Palin for president. I’d even put a bumper sticker on my car, which is something I’ve never done. If the boys aren’t going to do right, the girls will have to lead by example, end of story.

Looks like we have our work cut out for us, guys.

some sense into them before it’s too late. Explaining what
a nightmare it is getting an OBGYN appointment in the UK is a good place to start.

Yes, that is out biggest problem. The primary system rigged by RINOS to be front-loaded with open primaries has not been fixed. We could very easily be looking at the Second Coming of McLame if not fixed soon.

GREAT graphs - big time kudos!!!! The best & most effective is the 2-line graph as it shows not only direction but the separation gap of approval & disapproval.

The MSM will do a massive hit job on any Republican who starts to look like a genuine threat to Obama's re-election. The GOP establishment will be determined not to allow Palin or any genuine conservative to get the nomination. And the Chicago thugs running the administration will make John Mitchell's 1972 operation look like child's play.

Obama doesn't need 50% of the vote--Wilson in 1916, Truman in 1948, and Clinton in 1996 all got back in with under 50% of the popular vote. If need be, they'll find a third-party John Anderson/Ross Perot type to siphon off votes from the Republican candidate.

Welcome to the party! :) Sarah and Michelle Bachman have made the Pubbies power brokers look like sissies all full of their “nice” talk just so they can be “friends” with those who are not interested in making nice and being friendly with anyone with an R next to their name until they need their help to pass something totally counter to the core principles of the R. Quickly followed by the Potomac Back Stab.

even liberal Democrat insiders are quietly conceding to themselves that if unemployment is still at 10% or more when Bam runs again, it won’t matter who the Republican is. Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, a blue tick hound....anybody will beat Bam.

Excellent point. There’s little doubt in my mind that Obama will be a 2 term president.

obozo will be AT LEAST a 2-term pres from the "help" of ACORN/SEIU' voter fruad and the coming amnesty for 30 million new mexican socialist voters. This would pave the way for a lifetime presidency for obozo or at least until he heads up the coming 1-world commie govt.

UNLESS....AMericans rise up and stop the socialists NOW!!!!

As I read Markomaley’s graphs, nearly all of the center of the political spectrum has abandoned Obama, but the ratings have been moving along virtually unmoved for well over one month.

What I see here is the prospect that with recent downturns, we are testing those who have been determined not to give up on Obama despite everything. In other words, I think Obama has lost all those who have had an open mind about him, and now he risks losing even those who have resolved either to support him or to keep giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Especially with the elections coming, the next few weeks I believe are going to tell the tale of his Presidency. If he can keep bumping along at these low levels even as the elections, health care reform, Iran, etc all come to a head more or less at once, then he can continue the nonsense that has come to define his Administration.

If the poll numbers decline to a lower level, he either needs to get serious or see his Presidency implode.

All Obama cares about right now is getting ObamaCare passed. Once that is done, and the SEIU is in charge of a good chunk of a socialized economy, they will have the funding to ensure Bam’s re-election, if they have to put thugs in front if every polling place in America, chasing off likely Republicans.

Well, since you seem to be totally ignorant of modern politics:Palin and Bachman to name two. I don't care who the party picks, I am voting for a conservative if I have to write them in. I fully expect the NY race to Kill the RINO party for good, and the base will flock to the conservative party(whose platform is really conservative)or some other third party. Republicans are finished, due to their stubborn refusal to listen to their base and their adherence to the one world government BS.

When I say republicans I mean the leadership, the party itself,not the base.

Excellent graphs, and the moving average is VERY useful -- damps down the euphoria or misery from a day or two of polling.

Also, frankly, still shows that BHO is simply at the bottom of a "trading range" that has been in place since July. Until he breaks out downward to a steady -15 or so, we won't really have had fundamental change in the summer pattern.

“We have nobody good planned for 2012 “

Are you taking your meds today or did you forget?

Okay, seriously, who will be the GOP candidate in 2012? Obamarx will be weak but there isn't anyone serious enough to challenge.

SPIEGEL: Do you basically think Obama is going to be a one-term president?

Krauthammer: No, I think he has a very good chance of being reelected. For two reasons. First, there's no real candidate on the other side, and you can't beat something with nothing. Secondly, it'll depend on the economy -- and just from American history, in the normal economic cycles, presidents who have their recessions at the beginning of their first term get reelected (Reagan, Clinton, the second Bush), and presidents who have them at the end of their first term don't (Carter, the first Bush). Obama will lose a lot of seats in next year's Congressional election, but the economy should be on the upswing in 2012.

I think open primaries are a monumebtally stypid idea and they need to (abolished but in 2012 they could help get Sarah Palin elected. Left wingers would vote for her because they think she is a joke that will kill the Republican Party, while anti-country-club-Republican independents will vote for her as the candidate who represents their values.

That's just it - I can't think of any. I think the 'rats have their urban plantations of captive, dependent voters pretty well sewn up. And they have the fraud machinery in place to alter the outcome in a few key, closely-contested areas. So no, I'm not optimistic about having honest elections anymore.
