Middle Income Voters Going With Romney...

Romney Edges Obama in Battle for Middle-Income Voters

Evidently, if you have anything or aspire to amount to anything then Romney's the man.

On the flip side, if you are broke then chances are you are for Obama.

The bad news for Republicans: Obama has been making a lot more likely Obama voters for more than three years.

Interesting.

I thought only "poor white trash" who live in trailer parks voted Republican.

-OR-

I thought only ultra-rich people who have personal butlers voted Republican.

(I have been told by insightful liberals on this forum that I am both of those. Funny...neither is the case.)

I can tell you that the middle income families have gotten the shaft a lot more since Obama took office. I won't say I like Republicans. But I sure as heck don't want Obama in there for 4 more. No way no how. I will help vote him out.

According to the poll, both middle income and upper income voters favor Romney over Obama.

Lower income voters favor Obama over Romney. Lower income whites favor Romney over Obama, but not by as large a margin as middle and upper income whites.

Unfortunately, a lot of delusioned people in all income groups will be voting for Obama. Hopefully, there won't be enough for him to be re-elected.

A lot of those people will end up voting for Romney and by a much larger percentage than most suspect. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you're stupid.

Amen to that. I get so tired of people thinking that the poor don't have any common sense. Unfortunately, there are a lot more poor people in this country since Obama took office and I doubt they want to stay that way.

Unfortunately for Romney, middle income voters are rapidly disappearing in the US, thanks to Wall Street and companies like Bain Capital

Karma is biting him in the rear

So how does the crushing of small business under the current Dem regime fit your narrative, since small business is one of the tried-and-true means for advancement in America? And the stepped-up pace of bribing people to stay poor under Obama has peeled a whole lot of the lower end of middle income into poverty. Not to mention the general anti-capital, anti-prosperity agenda that has cooled business of all sizes.

The great middle of the country (middle income, middle class, middle of the road) is figuring out that our leader isn't leading, and doesn't share the same values.

Karma? Ask Jimmy Carter about karma. Obama is about to become an expert in Carter-style karma.

Obama has thrown away the middle class, even union workers. He did not march in WI like he said he would or even campaign for Walkers opponent. He stopped the Keystone pipeline against unions pleading. He did nothing about NAFTA that unions hate. He is taking away middle class peoples healthcare. No you won't be able to keep your plan if you like it.

He is counting on getting votes from limousine liberals, tree huggers, and those that don't pay tax and receive government subsistence.
