"In the wake of the Supreme Court decision to uphold Obamacare, more than two-thirds of Americans believe the country has changed significantly under President Obama, but a majority believe it’s not for the better. That negative perception extends to even a significant chunk of voters in the president's own party, according to a new poll out Tuesday. According to the new survey from the Hill, 1 in 5 self-identified Democrats said that the country has changed for the worse during the Obama administration...An overwhelming majority of voters—89 percent—believe that the outcome from the ballot box this November will have long-term implications for the United States."

Hill Poll: Majority think Obama changed country for worse

I'm wondering if those 1 in 5 Democrats are the ones not making donations.

And we`re seeing Rmoney supporters exhibiting the kind of enthusiasm shown by those heading for a prostate exam.

I can't believe it is only 1 in 5. It is ironic too as Obama has pretty much done everything Bush did and worse yet ni some liberals eyes he is GREAT and Bush was bad. The power of brainwashing.

But he's killing Pakistani civilians with more kewlness. He's enforcing the war on drugs with more hipness, plus don't forget he "tweets" his news.

So kewl, so hip...

I am one of those Democrats. And I am voting for him, because the Republican establishment has become-- in a word-- horrifying.

So while I am very disappointed with the president, Republican tactics, positions and politics have put in a position where I am voting for Obama again anyway.

Nice work!

Voting for a person you're very disappointed in.

Nice work!

Isn't that ingorant talk. You don't vote for someone who has disapointed not only you but the Country and it's economy. And some believe the foundation of this Country is fundamentally changing and not for the better, those things you vote to change.

Unwillingness to compromise...
Financial Brinksmanship...
Not supporting cuts in the military...
Denying science and manipulating others in to doing so...
Not assisting in the progression of equal rights for gays and lesbians...
Encouragement of religion in the public arena...

I can go on...

Economically I've done great under Obama... although I think a President has little to do with economic and employment cycles...

I'm not sure that thinking Obama is horrifying because of some vague threat to a "way of life" is equivalent.
