Gallup: Obama down among every demographic from 2008
Washington Examiner ^ | October 16, 2012 | Conn Carroll

Posted on 10/16/2012 11:34:00 PM PDT by Zakeet

Gallup posted the first peak inside their daily tracking poll demographics today and there is zero good news for President Obama. His support has declined among every single demographic identified by Gallup, often by double digits.

Obama’s biggest losses are among college graduates (+2 to -22), southerners (even to -22), Americans aged 30 to 49 (+6 to -10), and, surprisingly Obama is also down among postgraduates (up 30 to up just 14).

I don’t think that graduate school attracts lefties, I think the screening process leaves lefties in command of the field.

To get to post graduate education you have to run a phalanx of leftie professors who give you lesser grades if you disagree with their leftist social views or Marxist agendas, and then you have to be accepted into a post graduate school and sponsored by a professor in the field you want to get your post graduate degree. Then your dissertation has to pass muster with the professors on the committee that reviews dissertations and pass your ‘orals’.

Looks like it’s probably pretty stacked against conservative leaning students.

High school graduates may not be more intelligent than post graduates, they may have just had 4 less years of brainwashing.

Looking at these numbers, I can only conclude that college, and even more so graduate school, impairs thinking and makes one stupid.

I have an MBA and I know he's worse than Carter.

The true lefties that just keep going to college and never get a real job, kinda like their master himself, stick with him like fly on $hit.

The Voter Fraud machine in 2012 will be cranked up.

We all must work, and work hard, to be sure we defeat it.

Chicago, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Miami and Detroit will all be taking cues from Team Obama to get the turnout in the urban precincts to 104 to 105%.

Let’s not stop...let’s keep working.

We also need to take the Senate by a good margin, and make sure our legislators help keep a good man, Mr. Romney, on a conservative path.

There is much truth in what you say. Many professors who are advisers to graduate students treat them badly. There is little the graduate students can do. 30 years ago, I saw a professor (himself foreign born) treat foreign graduate student almost like personal slaves. I only received my masters because I recorded the man brag about how I would never get my degree because I was "unloyal" to him.

I believe that there are schools where conservatives have a chance, such as Texas A&M.

I agree, but we as conservatives have to educate our entire nation. I think that happens by teaching the Constitution and reaching out one by one to show how it protects us and preserves our Republic and our liberty.

I would like to thank all of my fellow 30-49 year old, college graduate southerners for realizing that I am right and agreeing with me.

The change among college graduates doesn’t surprise me. There are so many college graduates without a job and no prospects that I’d be surprised if they did vote for him. I know some people might enjoy living in their parents’ basement, but most don’t.

And yet the polls will still use 2008 numbers as if this is going to be a repeat of 2008.
No way the Dems come anywhere close to the 2008 turnout. This will be much closer to 2010 than 2008.

That's the kind of mistake I'd make.

But no one is PAYING ME TO WRITE for the national news!!!!! I'd damn sure proofread if they were!

There’s a Twitter account with the user name “StealthMountain” that responds to every tweet that incorrectly spells “sneak peek” as “sneak peak.”

That is hilarious! That person deserves some kind of comedy award.

As for the poll, not surprising.

Just where would he gain? He may do worse in every single state, even if he wins.

“That is hilarious! That person deserves some kind of comedy award.”


I was thinking more of a Nobel Prize.

BTW, what’s truly hilarious is the reactions that the tweeters have to the “diss” they received. NFL replacement refs didn’t get as many insults as this guy gets daily.

They should be honored to be a part of this!!

I don’t look at twitter much, I’m behind the times.

The more Axelrod and Booker talk (tonight on Piers Morgan
show CNN), the more people are jumping out of
the 0 camp.

I agree...feminism is not about being strong, but a communist tactic to disintegrate our culture. Watch the Curtis Bowers film, Agenda: Grinding America Down.
