Yeah, you’re really sweet, yet ignorant of history. My posts merely pointed out the big sweep and trend of presidential elections, and yours cherry picked a moment in time.
Good luck with that. buh bye.
What I did was show an example that disproved the premise that presidents below 50% in the polls will lose.
In short, Obama is in no automatic trouble. Although under 50%, he leads Romney.
Bush was in no automatic trouble. Although under 50%, he led Kerry and eventually won.
As soon as I find a source of polling for all elections that have been a re-election, I’ll probably be giving you more info.
BTW, you realize, of course, that Clinton in his re-election polled less the 50% the entire way through.
So, the 2 most recent examples go against your premise.
The re-election campaign prior to Clinton was Bush 1 in 92 and prior to that would have been Reagan in 84. Correct?
