51% Don't Want Second Term For President Obama
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 10/10/2011 | Ed Carson

A majority of Americans now oppose giving President Obama a second term, reflecting the country's continued weak economic performance, according to the latest IBD/TIPP survey released Monday.

By 51%-41%, respondents in October picked "someone new deserves a chance" over Obama "deserves to be re-elected." Among independents, it was 54%-36%. Back in September, the readings were 50%-44% and 53%-38%, respectively.

The other 49% rely on their livelihood from Uncle Sugar.

Seen my very first Obama 2012 bumper stiker yesterday. Would call him the village idiot, but Seattle is a very large village.

Sadly, they’re all over the place in the Tampa Bay area, and surprisingly, it’s the seniors who are sporting them!

I’ve noticed as well as some others that it seems to be the seniors a lot of the time. I was wondering why that would be and I finally decided that it must be that a lot of seniors are not Internet savy and only get their news from TV. When I stop and think about it, if I only received my news from TV, I would probably have a much different outlook on things.

I’m not very optimistic about the future of this great country. The next presidential election will answer the question: did our founding fathers cast their pearls before swine?

49% do not want him to get a second term... applying special sauce to these polls the get the outcome that they want is getting hard to hide... no way in hell this poll or any other is based on truth these days... the LIE is the norm... evil rules.

Where are you getting the figure 49%?

There article states 51%-41% again and for a second term, which would suggest that 8% are undecided. And most of that 8% will never vote for Obama if they are undecided at this point in time.

The overall statics are favorable for an Obama routing.

If the word was changed from “Term” to “sentence”, it would be higher - in reverse.

Hee hee, saw my first one too, over the weekend. I didn’t even know they had printed any yet! It was on the back of a Lexus SUV. Couldn’t see the driver. Both my husband and myself said,’what could they possibly want more of?’

Undecideds will not vote for the incumbent. That is from the Dick Morris/Bill Clinton school of thought.
