...And there is more optimism about the economy, with 36 percent saying they think it is getting better, a number that is also the highest in two years.

And yet despite the sense that the economy is not as bad as it has been...

How does 64% of the public not believing the economy is getting better equal a "sense that the economy is not as bad as it has been"? I just read on another thread about a quarter million people will run out of unemployment this weekend. I bet they don't think the economy is getting better.

That’s the lede in their story...

A British alternative spelling of lead or an error?

Yes, they might give him 93% support instead of their knee-jerk 95%.

...President Obama may have just worn out his welcome with many voters. Having made it to the White House as part of symbolic election in which all Americans could take pride in righting some great historic wrongs, there is no such rationale for his re-election. Tactics that seem to be merely a way to trick the voters into thinking ill of the GOP are falling flat.

Old people who can't learn 'new tricks' - and folks too stupid to use computers still get their news from NBC, CBS and the local paper... The rest of the population is hearing both sides. That hurts democrats with women and the young.

lede
Origin
Word Origin & History

lede
c.1965, alternative spelling of lead in the newspaper journalism sense (see lead (v.)), used to distinguish this sense from other possible meanings of the word, perhaps especially the molten lead used in typesetting machines.

Thanks for the definition. That’s interesting but “lead” would not have been confused with the molten metal as used in the sense the writer used it, so “lede,” although correct, needn’t have been used.

I should have re-read the article,. The writer did use lede in the journalistic sense. I was incorrect.

I’d like to think that it will be women who have a mighty hand in flushing this turd in Nov.

“I’d like to think that it will be women who have a mighty hand in flushing this turd in Nov.”

They’re taking it on the chin just as others are; their dollars are de-valued, their fathers, husbands & sons are struglling, and they have nothing to be optimistic about with this token in office.

“...might give him 93% support ...”

Told this to a friend yesterday that it won't matter,
they still will vote for him. It won't matter one bit
anything Barry does. He came out gay and not ONE word
from his lovely wife. n/s

Obama supporting queer marriage isn’t surprising to anyone.

Many of us viewed him as a closet homosexual anyway.

The amazing thing is that Hoyer, Pelosi, and Reid all came to this very same long evolving position the same day Obama did.

It appears that there is nothing Obama can do that these 3 stooges will not back him up on.

They have absolutely no principles or integrity of their own.

Obama must go is America is to survive, but to get rid of Obama and leave people like this in office is a waste of time.This triumpherate of suck butts and their Messiah are killing America

It’s really ridiculous for dems to think they can drive women into a frenzy with all this talk about contraception.
They are the ones who reduce women to body parts.

Meanwhile, women everywhere are trying to keep gas in their tank just like everyone else.
After we pay for the gas, we head to the grocery store.
Then we head home to spend time with our men and our kids.
We actually kinda like the men in our lives...it’s really strange how dems think women should always be at “war” with men.

If the man in your life was a Democrat, you probably would be.

Would it be a war?
If he were a democrat I can’t imagine him putting up a decent fight.
I imagine him sighing...muttering under his breath maybe...but most of the democrat men I know are afraid of women.

I want to see this poll’s “internals”.
If he’s losing single/divorced women, he’s totally lost.
That’s the left’s major demographic, and the reason their policies are centered around making as many “single moms” and divorced women as possible.

They want us all to be “Julia”
and they want our kids to be “Zachary”

But that isn’t exactly what we want for ourselves.

And lying on his back with all his limbs in the air, just where you need to vacuum, like our greyhound.
