Obama’s Popularity Dips Underwater; For Romney, a Faint Favorability Bounce
ABC News ^ | Sept. 4, 2012 | Gary Langer

Barack Obama approaches his nomination for a second term with the lowest pre-convention personal popularity of an incumbent president in ABC News/Washington Post polls since the 1980s. He’s also at his lowest of the year among registered voters, with trouble among women.

Just 47 percent of registered voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll see Obama favorably overall, down 7 percentage points from his recent peak in April, while 49 percent rate him unfavorably. He’s numerically underwater in this group for the first time since February.

“Obama’s plan was to pick up various minority groups and a huge number of white women voters.”

Could it be that women are starting to realize there are “no good men out there” because there are no jobs out there? For the past 40 years American women have learned what it is like to be a man (in terms of work), and they ain’t liking it! Allowing “women in the workplace” has morphed into forcing them into it, and I’ve never met a new mother who was happy to drop off her 2 month-old at a daycare to be cared for by strangers...

Even worse, blacks are publicly straying off the reservation and criticizing Obama; this was never tolerated in the conformist “black community”. Besides the obvious dire financial position of many blacks, I think the “gay marriage” flap revealed to many blacks that Obama was in fact a wealthy non-Christian white liberal.

Did this occur during the DNC tribute to Ted Kennedy?

Forty-seven percent of registered voters see Obama as favorable???

Just about the same number of American adults with sub-normal IQs.

“Women care most about the future of their children. Obama hasn’t done a single thing to enhance that future, but has done much to diminish it.”

American women have been watching their eggs dry up with no takers, and hopefully they’re starting to see the relationship between men being relegated to low-paying jobs and the dwindling marriage/family prospects. Hopefully...

Head fake. This is just to portray him as the “comeback kid” and guarantee a post-convention bounce.

He only told me to do something impossible to myself. I know that no one is supposed to be able to resist water boarding, but he kept claiming he knew nothing.

How can he get that far in life and know nothing????

I don’t think they even mentioned food or gas prices at all on Day 1 of the convention. They spent most of their time on ovaries and how Romney will get rid of ObamaCare and kill your child.

Maybe I should let you in at the amount of atrocious spelling mistakes in the resumes we receive. We’ve even had Ivy Leaguers actually place on their resume they volunteered for obama in 2008 and they still spell “definitely” with an “a”.

Oh, so he's finally decided to abandon the Golf course and join the rest of us under the water now? Great, it's about time.

Interesting. So essentially, the pollsters tried their best to gin up support, but have to save face leading up to the election?
The media outlets are doing their best too. ABC did not air the RNC convention,but had on Michelle last night. Local PBS station cut off RNC speakers in the middle of their speeches -at 10 pm CDT every night while the 1st night went way past the 10 pm mark until MO speech was done and Mark Shields et al could smoke a cig and tell each other how good it was.

Then why do the same media outlets report that he's neck-and-neck with Romney? Maybe because...

For Romney, a Faint Favorability Bounce,/i>

I hope he doesn't faint.

Ah yes... Penny Pritzker, the women who got Sarah Palin dis-invited to the Anti-Wachmadinanutjob Rallye in NY with Jews who put it together... If I am not mistaken she had her hand in some banks that got gobsmacked last year or so.

She is a power player, a big behind the scene-r for the anointed one, but not on my hit parade...

“economy is hitting everyone across the board. Even those with DNC credentials”

The National Socialists together with their banking insurance fascist enablers, are completely behind HillaryRomney.

Their Exempt from the effects is threatened by the Communists, so they are circling wagons behind their selection of HillaryRomney.

Phony Covention stunts, both of them, to keep their Extortion going, while staying exempt from it’s effects.
