You wouldn't believe it until you talk with one that swallowed hook, line, sinker the line that median income is down, more people in poverty under Obama,... forgetting the 2008 crisis triggering the worst recession in decades.
There are 2 types of people: one type is like Lee Iacocca, or Jack Welch repeating the deception that they know full well false to serve their purpose, and the type that truly believe it, not as a convenient pretext for something else (such as racism). Only when talk with one of type 2 that you know they exist. The good news is, some can be convinced otherwise.

My point was like what you said of this lady. Romney attack worked, which is why he gained support. But some DUers who replied my thread were in denial, and thought I was a troll. They ignored the real gain Romney had and Republicanized themselves by denying evidence, empirical observation, reality.
BTW, Obama will win. Nothing to worry. Don't lose sleep.

I'm afraid you've been reading the wrong polls. Romney is not trending up.

Anyone who thinks we aren't better off now than we were 4 years ago is delusional.
