BUYER’S REMORSE: 71% of Democrats Regret Voting for His Reelection
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 18, 2014 | Jim Hoft

Tools.

One year into his second term and already 71% of DEMOCRATS regret voting for this Keynesian wreck.

Washington Examiner reported:

Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama’s reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.

Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago.

The poll asked those who voted for Obama’s reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”

— Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.

— 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.

— 84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.

— 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.

Maybe listen to us next time. We tried to tell you. We may not like his politics, but he’s not just a leftist — he’s a liar. He’s out to screw you, too.

“he’s not just a leftist — he’s a liar. He’s out to screw you, too.”

Careful what you say. He has phone, a pen, and a drone. He’s not afraid to use them.

They act like he saved their lives or something.

Great.

Would’ve been nice if these dumbasses had woken up two years ago instead of now.

There was still plenty of evidence back then that Obama was a disaster, but nobody wanted to look, they were too busy in a love-swoon over the Mocha Messiah.

And now America is worse off because of it.

And every single one of these doorknobs will be all in for Benghazi Cankles McPIAPS the First. Nothing to trumpet here.

It looks like this poll is being misinterpreted. The 71% is from the 10% who said they would not vote for him again, or a mere 7% of the sample.

Still significant, but not the sea-change we are looking for.

“Benghazi Cankles”
That name is a hoot and so fitting for the bag that just won’t go away.
If she does run I hope she gets lots of botox and fillers in her face so it becomes misshapen like John Kerry’s did and she looks like a fool. At least if she wins I will be able to laugh at her when her face will be splashed on the telly day in and day out just like the Black Avengers face is.

True, it doesn’t say 71% of DEMOCRATS regret his re-election, it says 71% of Obama voters overall.

The number of DEMOCRATS who said they regret his election was at 55%. Quite frankly though, I’m surprised they got a majority of RATs to say that, given how many of them seem to be completely brain dead and blindly support him no matter what.

I just keep hoping someone, anyone is digging or, has already dug, and is waiting to spring the goods on that crone, when the time is right. McPIAPS will be far worse than Obinga.

Sorry folks, but this is beyond misleading - it's just completely in error.

I thought these stats were too good to be true, so followed the Gateway Pundit article to the Washington Examiner source that it cited. Here's the reality (emphasis added):

"Given a chance to do it all over again, only 79 percent of those who voted for President Obama would vote for him again and 71 percent of Obama voters now inclined to vote for somebody else “regret” their vote to reelect the president, according to a new poll."

So in other words, of the 21% of the Obama voters who would not vote for him again, 71% of THOSE regret voting for him last time. BIG difference.

I agree. If you look at Rasmussen, Obama has changed very little. There is always going to be a 40% block of brain dead, and pro Socialist/Marxist voters, and that figure will grow, with the immigrants and blacks reproducing like rabbits.
I am sorry to be so pessimistic, but America is NOT going to return to the good old days. It will get only worse.
I am dying for someone on here to say and explain otherwise.

They’ll completely wise up and vote for Hillary. That’ll fix those stupid, evil Republicans.

For the record, we are only in agreement over the inaccuracy of the Gateway article. As for your opinion about the direction of the country - who knows - but I do not approve of the statements you made related to how certain groups “breeding like rabbits” would seal that fate.

More stubborn than stupid, at this point. Nobody believes Obama, anymore. But many still refuse to admit that the hated opponents of Obama were right.

Again that number 22-25% shows up, this is the percentage of hardcore leftists in America, then you have the dead vote which accounts for 15-20% of the democrat vote, oh I don’t mean followers of the Grateful Dead.
