First, Californians who had approved of President Barack Obama's job performance began to reserve judgment; now, they're moving into full-blown disapproval, especially among longtime allies such as Latinos and women, a new Field Poll shows.

Forty-three percent of California voters don't like Obama's job performance, up from 35 percent in July, the poll found. Despite the dramatic increase in unhappy faces, the president's approval rating changed little according to the survey begun in mid-November: 51 percent, down from 52 percent in July.

You can see the MSM 2016 position forming up already.

Baraq had great ideas but wasn’t a practical manager. Hillary has the experience to make them happen.

His approval in California has fallen, his voters are slinking from him. They will return with just a few crumbs scattered their way.

I hope 0bama makes plenty more fundraising trips to Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles. Those people deserve the traffic nightmares.

in the end, what does it matter? They won’t vote for real change, they will run to their shepherds and vote like always for the same crap as before.

Biden is certainly proof of that.

I agree, unfortunately. Dems in CA may have a lower turnout in ‘14 and ‘16 due to their disenchantment with BO, but they will NEVER vote for a Republican. Just look at the last US Senate race here: the GOP ran a well-funded, moderate, well-spoken businesswoman and still lost by double digits to Babs Boxer — in an OFF-year election!

You’re correct.
They can export libs to turn states like Colorado blue and still have a safe huge Dem majority.

“Hillary has the experience to make them happen.”

Hillary has the charisma of a rotten tree stump laced with fungus. The MSM cannot help her. Her shrill voice and outright fake persona are basically the reasons Obama beat her in 2008 ... people simply dislike her once her pie hole opens. Bill’s looking tireder and weaker out there on the campaign trail. Two aging 1960s hippies aren’t going to be a big draw in 2016.

Personally, I don’t think she’s going to run. If she does run, any candidate, and I mean any candidate but Chris Christie can beat her. Jeb Bush would make the election close. A Conservative would destroy her.

The frigging GOP, instead of attacking the Tea Party, has to attack this idiotic War On Women mantra starting now ... the Dems are going to lose a lot of the LIVs going into 2014 and 2016. Their pop culture icon won’t be running anymore. Their young voters aren’t going to be turning out to vote for some idiot American Idol. They’ll go back into hibernation.

If we can get our message out to those swing voting women and show them what the whole “War on Women” really is (i.e. a war on every single one of your liberties aside from your uterus ... for now ... ), we’ll win ... and win big. Hang the disaster that is Obamacare around “reproductive rights” (that was disturbing typing that senseless mantra ... reproductive rights ... I feel like a six year old).

This message needs to ramp up in 2014 and hit full throttle in 2016. If those women on the fence start to see that the whole War on Women is a rehash of tired 1960s Feminazi movement on steroids laced with coccaine, I think we’d start to see those numbers swing in our direction.

Bush got 48% of the women vote against Lurch. That was pretty high. The Dems panicked and started that “War” nonsense in full force around then. Prior to that election, women typically voted Dem. Since then, the numbers have returned to their recent norm.

I know, I know, I’m overconfident and probably wrong :-).

However, our losses aren’t due to minorities or illegal immigrants (yet) or anything like that ... they’re red herrings thrown out there by liberals to obscure the real reason they are winning ... scaring the hell out of women with idiotic slogans and mantras. We are simply FAILING to attract reasonable women voters by combating that nonsense !!! The Dems know that if we’d pay women SOME attention, they’d start to lose again!!!!!

/rant off
