Obama 42%, ANY Republican 46%

Looks like the majority of Americans are finally getting fed up with Obama... If blacks don't show up in huge numbers at the polls in 2012, who overwhelmingly voted at near 100% for Obama in 2008, it looks like this country will get a much needed change in the White House.

I'd say Rasmussen is a neutral pollster. "Rasmussen Reports has been an independent pollster for more than a decade."

I hope you didn't mean that remark about "blacks showing up in huge numbers at the polls" the way it sounded. We can all agree that it is a GOOD thing for democracy if every eligible voter votes, right?

As for the poll, Obama has pretty consistently come in second to "any Republican" for months now. But when the pollster inserts the actual name of a GOP candidate, Obama always comes out ahead.

Maybe if Romney or Bachmann legally changed their names to "Any Republican", they'd stand a better chance!

In 2008 it was a "historic" election.

So the turnout from one particular demographic was also historic.

In 2012 it will be more like a "regular" election.

So the turnout from one particular demographic will also be regular (especially considering the boatload of promises that were NOT kept by the King of Kings).

In other words, Mr. President better PRAY that our debt magically begins disappearing and jobs magically materialize.

I think I read somewhere that Obama's jobs predictions from 2009 with the stimulus creating millions of new jobs, meant about a 10% growth rate every year didn't it? And yet, what do we have?

I don't care. I'd cut off my right hand before voting for the current crop of Republicans.
