Poll: Voters Blame Obama for the Economy

Voters by and large believe that President Obama's economic policies have contributed to the persistent malaise in the economy, according to a new poll.

The CBS/New York Times survey finds that 64 percent of voters believe that Obama's policies have contributed significantly or somewhat to the persistent weakness in the economy.

...

Obama's relentless assault on Mitt Romney's business record are also showing no real signs of significantly shaping the race. Sixty percent of voters say that Bain makes no difference, while 23 percent say it makes them less likely to vote for him. Seventy-three percent of voters say that Romney's wealth makes no difference.

Romney gets better marks on handling the economy, with 49 percent of voters saying he would do a better job than Obama. Romney also has an advantage among voters on the budget deficit, taxes, and illegal immigration. Voters trust Obama more on foreign policy and social issues. Obama has only a one point advantage over Romney on handling of terrorism issues, 44 to 43 percent.

64%..Obama would be better off by imitating El BJ and not accept or seek his parties nomination for another term as president!

It’s Bush’s fault I didn’t get elected.

I want to try again. I’m sure I can get selected again.

Obama’s monster ego would never let him quit.

But it will be fun to watch him after he loses.

2. Declare martial law and suspend the election.

If that were to happen, it would then be time for Americans to carry out their own version of the storming of the Bastille.

As well we should. The bumbling, lazy, marxist-in-chief is a complete fool as are all his supporters and fellow travelers.

Just the threat of Obama being elected to replace Bush has caused all this mess in the economy. The business worlds biggest fear was a socially liberal Democrat would be elected. Ever since he was the clear Democrat choice for president and it was clear McCain wouldn't win, fear has prevaded businesses and prevented growth. Fear is the greatest thing in the business world to prevent the economy from recovering. Fear of taxes, unknown costs and policies caused by the unknown that is Obama has caused this economy great harm.

“The democrat convention is not going to be anything special.”

Bet it will. The northern white racist unions are pissed as hell at the black DC SEIU racists. The SEIU pigs have shut down millions of jobs in the north. Expect all-out, rock ‘n roll race riots in NC. There’s no brother-union love between these two. Think of Sherman’s burning of Atlanta.

And the interesting thing about this poll is that it is of 1,xxx ADULTS.

They tried their best to poll the public an give “O” lead. These are stunning numbers considering the group polled.

Since Bush was 10x the president The Disaster is your prediction, even though it is false, would mean we are in far better place than with The Disaster.

This PoS poll doesn’t even poll registered voters much less likely voters. It is “adults” i.e. The Disaster is heading into an absolute wipeout which will give us a Republican Congress.
