Republicans becoming less enthusiastic about voting in 2012 9% drop since late September http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/republicans-less-enthusiastic-voting-2012-153753882.html



Wow, if this piece is not loaded..........



Ask yourself a question, who do you think is more fired up to win this upcoming election, liberal or progressives?



You think that all of the base that rallied around "Hope and Change" is going to vote in its entirety in the next election? I think that they are so disenfranchised after hearing Obama share all of his dreams with nothing happening that they are more disenfranchised then before. Doubtful that they will go out of their way to vote on "words" again. At the other spectrum the conservatives and many of the moderates who voted for Obama are fired up and ready to get him out of office. Then again this is all of my opinion but the past few elections (think Kennedy, Weiner, etc.) and how Democratic districts are turning over to see why I believe this.

This election will be similar to the 2004 elections, again going to the incumbent since the other party will have a bland flip-flopper as their candidate (if Romney gets the nomination).

I think it will be the same as to 2004 election because you'll have one complete assclown who fucked up the job in his previous tenure against someone who should never have the job in the firstplace.



The question is--how do you want to kill America: Strychnine or Arsenic poisoning. That is pretty much what you'll get when you vote for Democrats or Republicans.

How so? The situation is that it is completely self-perpetuating because the american people en masse simpley won't vote beyond Democrat or Republican. The line has been drawn in the san *just* so that you have america split up about 50-50 so that the tide simply ping-pongs one way or another, but in reality all the political infighting is just a red herring to distract us from electing greedy, self-serving bitches from trying to take away our rights and liberties and erning more wampum for themselves and protecting their personal and financial interests.



It doesn't matter who you vote for. You're voting for an insincere, greedy, self-seving lying fucktard who's is fully willing to trample your rights and liberties in order to make a buck or excercise an ounce of control.



If there is any sadness to be had--it's that Americas, en masse, have let the situation get this bad by letting themselves believe that you have only the two choices the media presents.

You mean other than the trend he just indicated? You could rightfully explain Clinton's reelection the same way.

Your description of Romney is hilarious. Even the Pubs brand him a Waffler.

BTW...Rasmussen is a known Republican leaning pollster. I can post PPP (dem leaning) state polls that show that Obama would win over 270 electoral votes easily.

Ok, please do. I would prefer you show polls that are consistently run from the same pollster. Throwing a one time poll does little to persuade me.



I have heard a few people say that Rasmussen is conservative leaning but I have never read that anywhere from a reliable source.

before you go to this site, i will warn you (but hear me out), it's a part of huffpost. However, pollster.com gathers all different polls that come out from different pollsters. They have rasmussen, ppp, foxnews, cbs, cnn, quinnipiac, etc...



It shows state polls, national polls, primary polls, senate race polls, governor polls, etc...

You know what's really funny and sad? That the pro wrestling political party you "lean" toward has Newt Gingrinch as their front runner, ironically enough after Herman Cain bowed out due to scandal. You know, the Newt Gingrinch who cheated on his first wife while she's struggling with cancer, divorced and turned that affair into his second wife, then cheated on her with an aide while he's blasting Clinton for infidelity, then divorced that second wife and turned that affair into his third wife... and that everybody is seemingly cool with that or "forgot" about it?



You seem to be okay with it. Anything to get Obama out right? It doesn't matter who it is, it's just a title, as fake as any WWF title. But you don't even need to believe that to feel that something is wrong. Actually look at the people you're rooting for, like with good ole' Newt. The Democrats aren't any better. There is no better. Millions couldn't see past Obama's bullshit speeches that are written for him to sell his image to you. He's done the same kind of horrible shit as Bush did, well that's if you were to believe it's any of them personally doing it in the first place, but the point stands.



Do you really think that, as Carlin called them, the real owners would actually give us a choice like this, a legit say in a decision that supposedly appoints the Most Powerful Man in the World? They design currency. They plan and work on projects that span multiple generations. They spend trillions to control billions of people, they topple governments, they control the economy and bring entire countries to their financial knees in servitude. They buy and/or kill kings, presidents, "terrorist leaders" and dictators.



And they're going to risk their grip on all that because there was a bit too many IHFs or too many Kerfluffles or too many "hippies" voting in that last election and their guy didn't get elected? Or one of their candidates "forgot" about an affair he had? Or they're going to let a couple states in America like Ohio or Florida and a mere couple million people that vote (and with the difference most likely being an even more minuscule couple hundred thousand votes) in those states potentially **** them up depending on how they feel about Governor What's His Face hair style or color of skin or religious beliefs or whether or not he would allow two gays in Columbus,OH to get married ?



Of course they're not, of course they're not. We may as well be voting in American Idol for as much as the presidential vote matters. To be honest, it probably doesn't even matter as much as that.

Swing State Poll Shows Obama’s Narrow Options



In the dozen swing states where voters will decide the 2012 presidential election, a new Gallup/USA Today poll shows President Obama losing to the current Republican frontrunners by significant margins.



Obama trailed Mitt Romney by 5 points, 43 percent to 48 percent and trailed Newt Gingrich by 3 points, 45 percent to 48 percent, in the survey of these 12 battleground states.



It’s a pretty big deal.



While Obama continues to tie or lead national polls, his performance in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin matters more. And there, things are not so good for the incumbent.



But the biggest problem for Obama is that he is underperforming his national number by so much in the swing states. Compared to his national number, his score falls by 4 points against Gingrich and 5 points against Romney. While Obama believes he can drive down the support for whoever the Republican nominee may be, it seems unlikely that he can get his own numbers up very much.

Isn't it really too early to be talking about how the general election is going to go that is almost a year away. The GOP hasn't even nominated their candidate yet and Obama hasn't opened up his huge re-election campaign coffers and things will no doubt change between now and then.
