Because his voter base doesn't care how good or bad of a job he's doing, all they care about is keeping him in office for another term.

Default Why do Obama's poll numbers remain so high with all the bad news?

Because polls are designed to lead the sheep to the cliff and as we have seen, it works Obahhhhhhma

Political polls are designed to give a snapshot, based on carefully-calibrated and researched calculations, of opinion on a particular issue or candidate and are given with a mathematical margin of error. That's a poll. It's designed to capture public opinion in a statistically acceptable manner. It serves no other purpose.

And to treat all Americans as an equal, and no special favors shall be granted, based on the color of one's skin, or a race.

Got news for you, so many whome voted for Obama first time around, NOT SO EXCITED THIS TIME AROUND?

Still waiting u see for all this Hope n' Change, which by the way was garbage, as is what he is feeding the people this time around.
Well obviously since Romney isn't beating Obama with any type of sizable lead, much of what you said is a moot point. Perhaps your jibber jabber will prove true in the future, but it's a bit premature jibber jabber.

Why are President Obama
Republicans should stay with their poll. I wouldn't want them to miss what they are paying for, that sense of serenity and peace, that sure feeling.
