These unemployed people must think he's a real chitbag after watching him golf and take vacations for three years.
Thank you
Those 180,000 illegally registered voters might just make the difference.
I think Romney will carry Florida. And NC. And he must pick up two of the following three: OH, PA, VA. Even with that, he’ll either just make enough to win (273) or he’ll be very close, and he’ll only need one more state to win (and one of those states would be CO, NV, IA, or NH).
It’s doable. But it will be a tough fight.
“The survey of 600 registered Florida voters was conducted by telephone from May 6-8. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.”
That’s because the poll was done in south Florida. If you click the link the LA Slimes provided, you’ll see that WSVN-TV helped with the poll. WSVN is the FOX affiliate that services Broward, Dade, Monroe, and Collier counties, which are filled with northern transplants from New York, Boston, and other collectives like them. If the poll was taken in North Florida (especially the Panhandle) there would have been a wildly different result.
That is a 57 state poll right?
Obama is trending in Florida like another politician with 100% name recognition in 2010... Charlie Crist.
The good news is... he’s done. There is no upside for Obama’s poll numbers.
I lived in Michigan for most of my life and know its political situation well. On the statewide level, Michigan politics for a very long time has been a contest based on trying to get outstate Michigan to counterbalance Democratic votes out of Detroit.
The “Reagan Democrats” changed that equation to some extent because traditional Roman Catholic union voters upset about the abortion issue were willing to vote Republican. Similar dynamics appeared in some key places in West Michigan and rural northern Michigan area, in which places that reliably voted Democrat for legislative and local races were willing to vote Republican on the presidential level and sometimes for statewide pro-life candidates.
The economic collapse of Detroit and Flint has reduced the power of that Democratic voting block, but has also reduced the number of “Reagan Democrats.” Significant numbers of those voters are now retired and living outside of Michigan.
Complicating the mix in the last decade has been Dearborn and the immigrant Middle Eastern vote, which was once leaning Republican but has become heavily Democrat since 9/11. (And yes, I'm very much aware that immigrant Arabs are often Christian rather than Muslim, but a perception has developed that Republicans are pro-Israel and anti-Arab, and that means a fair number of Christian Arabs are voting against the Republican Party.)
The end result is that while Michigan is winnable for a conservative statewide Republican candidate, it much more difficult for a Republican presidential candidate. Not totally impossible, but definitely more difficult.
