In the poll, 55% say the economy would get better over the next four years if Romney was elected, compared with 46% who say it would improve if Obama was re-elected. Twenty-seven percent say the economy would get worse in a Romney first term, compared with 37% who say that of an Obama second term.
This, I can’t figure out – Romney leads across the board in this poll yet people still think Obama will win?
Indeed, regardless of which candidate they support, those surveyed predict by 56%-36% that the president will win in November over Republican Mitt Romney.
They say it is due to the “recovering economy” favoring Obama but that doesn’t really square with this:
Though an overwhelming 71% rate economic conditions as poor, a 58% majority predict they will be good a year from now. While those surveyed are inclined to say they are worse off financially than a year ago, nearly two-thirds say they think they’ll be better off this time next year.
I think that the the assumption that this is good for Obama is wrong. The reason that they think things will be better in a year is because they think Obama will be the one filing for unemployment.
My dog…matching colors on a Twister mat could make better decisions on the US economy. The only thing that gets Obama re-elected is low voter turnout. So drag everyone you know out to vote in November. Otherwise you’ll be wishing you know my dog.
When during the primaries in West Virginia you lose 41% of the vote to a guy who did no advertising and is CURRENTLY IN JAIL………
….you have what we like to call **issues**.
Last Tuesday’s primaries are Reason Numero Uno that President Obamessiah “came out” last week:
he’s on shaky ground with everyone save a couple core constituencies and his girlfriends in the press.
And he knows it.
