Just how badly has Barack Obama’s standing dropped this year? Even killing Osama bin Laden hasn’t kept his re-elect numbers from declining significantly. Pew’s latest survey shows Obama only one point ahead of a generic Republican candidate, a statistical tie, but his 41% score is even worse news:
The sizeable lead Barack Obama held over a generic Republican opponent in polls conducted earlier this year has vanished as his support among independent voters has fallen off. Currently, 41% of registered voters say they would like to see Barack Obama reelected, while 40% say they would prefer to see a Republican candidate win in 2012. In May, Obama held an 11-point lead.
What happened? Obama has lost independents, Pew says, and he lost a lot of them in a hurry:
This shift is driven by a steep drop-off in support for Obama among independents. The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted July 20-24 among 1,501 adults and 1,205 registered voters finds that just 31% of independent voters want to see Obama reelected, down from 42% in May and 40% in March. Where Obama held a slim 7-point edge among independent registered voters two months ago, a generic Republican holds an 8-point edge today.
This is consistent with a drop in Obama’s approval among all independents. Currently, a majority (54%) disapprove of Obama’s performance for the first time in his presidency. His approval among independents has slipped to 36% from 42% last month and 49% in late May.

And Pew is a poll that trends left so if he is doing this badly in Pew, his real number is worse
So apparently, you CAN beat somebody with nobody, if it is the right somebody.
obama’s internals must be giving him ulcers...
So in other words, the Pew poll is exactly that.
================================
Candidate Obama "The Fund-Raiser" is a guy who really plans ahead. Obama stashed away zillions for his campaign (looted from the US Treasury). All he needs is "contributor names and CV" to cover the FEC requirements. Remember that when Ohaha got in, his first moves were:
(1) taking over the census and placing it under the jurisdiction of the WH (has all the names and CV he needs for the FEC),
(2) taking control of the US Treasury, and,
(3) COS Rahm's brother taking charge of Medicare/Aid billions and O/Care billions.
Now we know why.
================================
Obama's top 2012 fundraisers include ex-New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. TRANSLATION: That means Obama's getting back some of the $17.5 billion stimulus he dropped into NJ for Corzine's losing reelection campaign ....the stim disappeared without a trace upon arrival. Ace investigative news reporters could not find a trace of it.
NOTE: Corzine is a former Goldman Sachs head----Wall Street knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.
==================================
REFERENCE----OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ GOV CORZINE TO WIN. Obama and Biden rigorously campaigned for Corzine. The two were heavly invested in the 2009 Corzine race---one of only two statewide races. The first test for Obama's policies.
Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was here twice. Obama TV ads ran relentlessly on costly NY media.
Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine. The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH "geniuses."
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
Democrats rigged the election with latino votes (so they thought)
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Corzine had a "Peruvian Pac" endorsing him.
(g) Corzine promised to give illegals ‘driving credentials’ & in-state tuition.
(h) Corzine sucked up to illegal immigrants and REFUSED to enforce current immigration laws
(j) Corzine's Blue Ribbon committee of Hyphenates used tax dollars to mine votes for Corzine.
(j) Also sucking up to illegals for Corzine was Sen Robert Menendez
OTHER SALIENT POINTS
>> Incumbent Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the winner Chris Chirstie about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.
Corzine lost handily to a conservative Republican.
I was going to say... Pew is lagging behind. Other polls showed these numbers a long time ago.
When did he have a lead over a generic reublican.
I thought a recent poll had The Chosen One behind a generic Republican by 8%?
If those Obama supporters would Google “The Grinding of America”, watch the trailer then order copies of the DVD to circulate perhaps they and their friends would learn what life under Communism would really be like. Make no mistake:
Obama is a Muslim and he is a Communist. If you care at all about the future of our country, please follow through on this. And pray, please pray for our country’s return to the Constitution.
I bet he doesn’t run. He will have an absolute breakdown when he loses and so will the first “lady”.
