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

There's the nugget. Didn't Barack get over 90 percent of the black vote? Nearly four in ten blacks say they regret voting for him? If that is anything approaching a scientific sample size, that's news.

Well, you know the saying - if something is too goo to be true, it probably isn't.

And that was my first thought when I read this story!

With all those rank and file Democrats showing common sense, why do the lords of the GOP insist that the only way to win is to pander, grow the government, grant amnesty and in general, behave like the czars of the Democrat party?

I’d like to but can’t believe it. If there were an election tomorrow they’d still vote for him.

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.

Thanks for clearing that up.

However, if that 21% loss carries over to Cankles or some other similar successor, it would be more than enough to sink the Dems.

I believe they had to steal, fabricate, or switch 20-25 Million votes to get Obie-dun in the lead in 2012. They would need to steal, fabricate, or switch an additional 10 Million votes if that 21% stayed home.

Perhaps the best we can hope for about 14% of the Obama voters to stay home in 2016 (the 71% of the 21% who both would not vote for Obama again AND now regret voting for him last time).

It gets worse. So first we have the fact that the 71% in question is not 71% of all Obama voters, but only a percentage of those who did NOT answer "yes" when asked if they would vote for him again (79% said "yes", 21% did not). But that 21% also breaks down into two group - 11% who clearly said "no", and 10% who said "not sure".

I think we can assume that most, if not all, of the 71% who also said that they now regret voting for Obama last time come from that 11%, and that the other 10% are going to show up and vote for the Democrat in 2016.

So our best hope is that 71% of the 11% are so disgusted that they will either vote for some third party candidate or just stay home in 2017.

So basically the group that we're talking about is roughly 7% of all Obama voters.
