8/10:Obama’s Re-Election Prospects: Voters Divide

President Barack Obama asserts that change doesn’t occur overnight. But, will registered voters nationwide give him the opportunity to fulfill his promise during a second term? According to this McClatchy-Marist Poll, voters divide. Four in ten — 40% — say they will definitely vote for the president next year while 40% think they will definitely vote against him. A notable one in five — 20% — is unsure.

<...>

When McClatchy-Marist last reported this question in June, 43% of registered voters thought they would definitely vote against President Obama while 36% said they would definitely vote for him. 21%, at the time, were unsure.

<...>

Although 40% of independent voters report they plan to vote against President Obama next year, more than one-third of independents — 35% — currently plan to vote for the president, and a notable 25% are unsure. In McClatchy-Marist’s previous survey, only 29% of independents thought they would back the president while 43% planned to vote for another candidate. 28%, at the time, were unsure.

There has been little change among Democrats. 69% report they will support President Obama, 14% will not, and 16% are unsure. In June, those proportions stood at 70%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. Among Republican voters nationally, 7% plan to vote for the president. 77% say they will cast their ballot for another candidate, and 16% are unsure. In McClatchy-Marist’s previous survey, only 4% of GOP voters reported Mr. Obama would receive their vote while 85% said they were not planning to back the president. 10%, then, were unsure.

2. Why? The Dems might be upset, but they aren't going to vote Republican

3. Some people are clear-headed enough to realize the GOP will DESTROY this country.

On a different note, ask yourself this:

Why are there a FLOCK of GOPers threatening to join the presidential race, while no one of realistic viability has come out to challenge the President?

Perhaps they get what PL-brainwashed voters don't.

4. Another poll showed

his approval among Democrats in Florida going up 10 points after the deal.

5. That's because it was a very smart deal, and perhaps DU will eventually

see how brilliant of a strategy it *IS*!!!

6. Some Democrats (including his allies) will take heat for it

But Obama is smart, he does not have to worry about angry constituents.

Reality does not always conform to people's wishes.
