You seem to really think the economy is Obama's fault. Do you?

If NY-09 has become "difficult" for the democrats, can you just imagine all the other districts, especially the ones still occupied by a dem but that lean right?

From recent public disgust and bad political and not well received ideas of late along with recent elections I was sure this thread had to be old as it doesn't seem to be what I'm hearing and seeing from others for quite some time now.
According to the latest polls, Obama still has his base locked up and he's leading Perry -- so, revise your ideas in light of new information. Things don't look rosy for Obama by any means. As other posters have noted, the NYC election is a bad indicator for him, but according to other indicators he's still very competitive.

You mean other districts that don't even number the 3 to 1 in Dems favor like the 9th?

He needs to go out and make a very strong case to the independents if he wants to win this thing.

Personally, I think Obama can't beat Romney. Romney will when the independents and keep the teajadists because they hate Obama. I think Obama is going to do pretty well in a match up against Perry though, as the latest polls indicate.
obama is done.

He has shot his load.

He golfed, his family traveled, they ate well.

He had a good run (personally).

For the country, he was a disaster.

jimmy carter thanks him very much....what he did looks like pure heaven compared to obama.

Yeah, I can't believe the lefties are putting a happy face on this. Heck, mainstream Dems are very concerned.

Sorry, but you really need to check out some of the STATE polls.

Obama is under 50% approval in CALIFORNIA. In OH, PA, IA, NC, VA, FL, it's even worse.

A continuation of the protest registered last November that is not slowing down I assure you.

If any on my job (including many other companies) support Obama they must be ashamed to admit it as in the many conversations there is no one saying anything in his defense or support of his ideas.

Rather I hear how sick of them people are.

I'll put my confidence in what I see everyday in the real world not any poll.

The repubs do not have a person who has won the primary. Who cares about "right now" or "what" the polls are saying....

Oh wait...the left does..

California is my home state... if you think Californians are going to vote for Rick Perry ..lololololololol! Not going to happen.

If Obama is doing so poorly in the polls, why does he now lead Perry nationally?
