    AK, how is it that the professional Democratic Party operatives see things differently than you do ? In other words, the people serving you the Kool-Aid are apparently not drinking it.

    Obama's blue-state blues
    By: Edward-Isaac Dovere

    Barack Obama has a case of the blue state blues.

    In Democratic strongholds from Vermont to California—not to mention New York City, where the president helped sink his party’s nominee in Tuesday’s special election—Obama isn’t quite tanking, but he’s moving unmistakably in the wrong direction.

    ...But pollsters point to the canary-in-the-coalmine factor: if Obama can’t hold these voters, they say, it’s a sign that his wider support among the reliably Democratic electorate of liberals, labor, young people, Jews, African-Americans and other key blocs is withering. They won’t be there in large numbers to put him over the top again in borderline states, and they won’t be there to feed his campaign money and provide volunteer support at the levels they did in 2008.

    Tuesday’s election in New York’s heavily Democratic Queens- and Brooklyn-based 9th District proved to be an extreme manifestation of Obama’s blue state problem: His approval rating was at 43 percent in a Sept. 9 Siena Research Institute poll and 31 percent in a Sept. 11 automated poll by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm. By contrast, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo posted a 75 percent approval rating in the district, according to the Siena poll.

    “It is not per se a Democratic problem, it’s a problem with this president,” said Siena spokesman Steve Greenberg.

    Siena’s been picking up on the trend for months, with its most recent New York statewide poll showing Democratic approval of the president down from 86 percent in April to 67 percent. Greenberg says that though the polling’s made clear that Obama’s never going to win back the Republicans who were with him on Election Day 2008—or at least supportive in the months after—the real erosion has been within his own party.

    “Where he’s lost his support in New York is among the Democrats,” Greenberg said. “That’s more startling than the overall.”

  2. Just because things went badly for other candidates doesn't mean Obama loses re election Bone,and I never said it did

    Nobody needs medication (and I am disappointed you are now making insults) ,they just need to read poll after poll of voters being asked will you vote for Obama or Perry,Bachmann,Cain etc


    Everybody is pissed at Obama...libs,hispanacs,blacks,independents etc but none of that matters.This is a 2 person contest and all Obama has to do is convince most people that the other guy is worse.With the Obama media and a 700 billion-1 trillion dollar war chest he is likely to do that as seen below

    When every liberal pundit in the world is panicking, you can always count on some oblivious 12 year old like IQ 47 to keep cheering on Obama. :D

    on a 1 -10 scale... how is obama
    doing on jobs
    doing on the economy
    doing on getting us out of wars
    doing on infrastructure for the new green economy
    doing on providing on a single payer national health care system
    doing on international relations
    regaining our respect around the world
    bringing peace to the middle east
    helping the post office run better
    education
    peace
    love
    happiness
    change for the better

    he blew his political capital on terrible ideas. Now his is going to radical change to not be the worst president in history. to restore the economy, he will have to lower taxes and regulations.

    I suggest he radically lower taxes and put up some tarriffs to support key job creating industries. Let our own country be free to manufacture for our own markets. Just like all the export countries do.

  9. King birther /9-11 truther

    on a 1-10 scale Obama is a few points higher then Romney ,Perry or Bachmann would do and thats what 2012 will be about.No need wasting your time telling libs how Obama didn't do what we wanted,we know that ,Obama does too.2012 isn't about hope and change,its about perry,romney and bachmann being worse and the sept polls show most agree in regards to bachmenn and perry and Obama and his media hasn't gone after romney yet

    Obama has a trillion dollars to spend on his campaign, its pretty much a lock!

    Nevermind all the liberal pundits who are panicking, as long as Range Rover says Obama is going to win, then thats whats going to happen. He has already pledged half the profits from his lemonade stand to the Obama campaign, by the time he is done selling lemonade Obama's campaign "war chest" will be up to 2 trillion. :D
