Gallup Poll: Joe Biden’s Favorability Rating Sinks as Low as His Recent Incoherant Attacks

Uncle Joe underwater with favorability/unfavoribility with “We the People”.

What are the odds that there is a correlation between Vice President Joe Biden’s sudden “unfavoribility” and his incoherent rants and attacks on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital at the bequest of the Obama reelect campaign? According to a recent Gallup poll,  Biden suddenly finds himself with a all time low of 42% and a 45% unfavoribility. Most glaring in the Gallup poll is that Independents have a 37/47 favorability of Biden.

Americans are about equally likely to have a favorable (42%) as an unfavorable (45%) view of Joe Biden, which has been the case for most of his tenure as U.S. vice president. Americans were much more positive than negative toward Biden from the time he was chosen as Barack Obama’s running mate through the first several months of the Obama administration.

The May 10-13 USA Today/Gallup poll marks the first time opinions of Biden have tilted negative since he became Obama’s vice presidential pick, but they are not materially different from the closely divided but still net positive ratings of Biden from October 2009-March 2011.

As The Weekly Standard asks, how does a negative favorability help Obama in 2012? However, the reason why Biden has an underwater “favorability rating” is because of Obama and his scorched earth 2012 reelect theme.  The more Obama and Biden attack capitalism and what made America great, the more people are really beginning to question what these two are all about. Both Obama and attack dog Biden are coming off as angry as all they can do is divide and rant about others as they certainly cannot run on their record.

Making matters even worse, Biden not popular in swing states either. Much buzz has been made that Biden should be replaced and Hillary Clinton added to the Obama 2012 Presidential ticket. Never going to happen. Barack Obama would never admit that his image could be dragged down by Biden and would certainly never admit he needed Bill & Hillary’s help for reelection. Obama is all in with Biden.

In the 12 swing states likely to determine the outcome of the presidential election, only 40% of registered voters view Biden favorably, while 54% view him unfavorably. These numbers are worse than President Obama’s who is seen favorably by 50% of registered voters in those same states and unfavorably by 49%.

The 12 swing states in the poll are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. These states are all considered too close to call for the November election.

Mitt Romney Up 6% in Quinnipiac Poll in Battleground State of Florida … Romney 47% – Obama 41%

The presumptive Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney surges in Florida over Barack Obama.

According to the most recent Quinnipiac poll, Romney is up 6% over Obama and leads the incumbent President in the Sunshine state 47% to 41%. This is quite a statement for Romney, taking the lead in the key battleground state of Florida. What seems to be driving the poll is the 45 approve – 55% disapprove of Obama job approval and the 58% yes – 30% no likability of Romney.

Gov. Mitt Romney holds a 47 – 41 percent lead over President Barack Obama in Florida, where 63 percent of voters say the president’s support of same-sex marriage will not affect their vote, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Another 25 – 11 percent of voters, including 23 – 9 percent among independent voters, say Obama’s support of gay marriage makes them less likely to support his candidacy.

Adding Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio to the GOP ticket would give the Republican Romney/Rubio team a 49 – 41 percent lead over President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Romney’s lead in the horse race compares to a 44 – 43 percent tie in a May 3 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University and a 49 – 42 percent Obama lead March 28.

Florida is a truly representative swing state and could spell political reelection doom for Obama and what the landscape will look like in the rest of the battleground states up for grabs in the 2012 Presidential election.

ABC/WAPO Poll Uses Questionable Sample to Have Obama Lead Romney 49% to 46% … Under Samples GOP by 10% … NBC/WSJ Skewed Sample as Well

All polls are not created equal … in fact some are just plain disingenuous. 

The most recent ABC/Washington Post poll has President Barack Obama ahead of GOP challenger Mitt Romney, 49% to 46%. Good news for Obama, right? Well, if you like faux polls it is. When will the liberal MSM ever learn that falsifying poll results serves no purpose on election day? The WAPO goes on to say that Obama and Romney are in a dead heat on the economy, Really?

The parity on economic issues foreshadows what probably will continue to be a tough and negative campaign. Overall, voters would be split 49 percent for Obama and 46 percent for Romney if the November election were held now. On handling the economy, they are tied at 47 percent.

Despite flare-ups over issues including contraception and same-sex marriage, more than half of all Americans cite the economy as the one concern that will decide their vote in the fall, relegating others — such as health care, taxes and the federal deficit — to single-digit status.

Voters are evenly divided between Obama and Romney on the question of who could kick-start the economy and also are split on job creation, with 46 percent siding with the president and 45 percent with Romney.

OK, let’s go inside the sampling polling numbers. The full results of the poll can be seen HERE.

The ABC/WAPO poll used the following model sampling: Democrat 32%, Republican 22% and Independents 38%. The exit polling in the 2008 Presidential election was Democrat 39%, Republican 32% and Independents 29%. However, there was a huge change in the 2010 election as Democrats and Obama took a shellacking. Interestingly enough, 2010 exit polling had those voting at Democrat 35%, Republican 35% and Independents 29%.  So the trend is moving to be even rather than Democrats with a large sampling lead. However, that did not stop the WAPO and ABC to use an overinflated Democrat sample to give Obama a more than questionable poll results. The poll over-sampled Democrats to Republicans by 10%, yet Obama only leads Romney by 3%.

Kentucky Democrat Primary: Barack Obama Defeats ‘Uncommitted’ Vote 57.9% to 42.1% … Loses 41% of Vote in Arkansas to John Wolf

4 in 10 vote against Obama in Kentucky and Arkansas Democrat primaries …

In a tighter than expected race in the Democrat primary in Kentucky, incumbent President Barack Obama won a tough fought battle against the “Uncommitted” vote, 57.9% to 42.1%.  Seriously. Obama ran unopposed in the KY Democrat primary and lost 42.1% of the vote. It is not even like he was competing against a jailed felon, federal inmate No. 11593-051 Keith Judd, like in the West Virginia primary where Obama lost 41% of the vote.Talk about your protest votes against Obama.

Barack Obama struggles mightily tonight in the Kentucky and Arkansas Democrat primaries. If Obama’s battle against the ‘uncommitted’ vote was not bad enough in the Blue Grass state, Obama also lost 41% of the vote in Arkansas to Democrat challenger unknown  John Wolf.

Four in ten Democratic voters chose someone other than President Obama on Tuesday in primaries in Arkansas and Kentucky.

In Arkansas, John Wolfe — a perennial, long-shot candidate — took 41 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary, with 71 percent of precincts reporting. Obama came in just under 60 percent. The Associated Press did not call the race for Obama until close to midnight.

And in Kentucky, 42 percent of Democrats chose “uncommitted” rather than cast a vote for the incumbent president. Obama took 58 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

Live Arkansas primary results see HERE.

I think it is safe to say that after Obama’s embarrassing primary results in West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky, do not look for Barack Obama to be visiting these states in the general election. Color the states Red, as well as Obama’s face after these humiliating primaries.

Hillary Clinton and her political brain trust must be kicking themselves that they did not challenge Obama in the Democrat primary. She would have been a shoe in to defeat Obama.

Things that Make You Go Hmmm … Barack Obama’s Bio Edited Numerous Times over 17 Years, but Kenyan Birthplace Changed Weeks after his Presidential Announcement

From Doug Ross comes more on Barack Obama and things that make you go hmm … Why am I not surprised that it took the Bloggers to uncover the lie?

Why would the bio of Barack Obama provided to his literary agent be changed numerous times over the years to update events and accomplishments of Obama, yet his birth place of Kenya was not changed until just after he announced his run for the Presidency in 2007? Seriously, one does not have to be a “birther” to ask such a question. This story of why Obama’s bio would read “born in Kenya” was initially brought to the public’s attention at Breitbart.com in their own going effort to do what the MSM refuses to do … Vetting the President. As stated at the PJ Tatler, when the bizarre and embarassing fact was uncovered earlier this week, agent Miriam Goderich backpedaled and stated that the Kenyan birth claim was simply a “fact-checking error.” OK, so then why did it go through a myriad of edits and updates with no change until right before Obama’s Presidential announcement?

The biography provided by Barack Obama to his literary agent specified his birthplace as “Kenya”. And, over the course of 17 years, despite multiple revisions by Obama, the Kenyan birthplace remained a fundamental part of the bio on the agent’s website.

I’ve used the Wayback Archive to explore the exact transformations of Obama’s biography on his agent’s site (click on any of the thumbnails to zoom to a readable size).

On June 27, 1998, the website read: “BARACK OBAMA was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book is DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE.”

The Bio was updated circa December 2004; however, it still stated the following; “He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Kenya to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago”.

Obama 2012 Theme Song … ‘Would I Lie to You’

Then as Doug Ross notes a remarkable edit was made to the Obama bio between April 3rd and April 21st 2007, where someone must have noticed the discrepancy in birthplace that would presumably disqualify the Senator from office.

On April 21, 2007, the website read: “BARACK OBAMA is the junior Democratic senator from Illinois and was the dynamic keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He was also the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. He was born in Hawaii to an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister and was raised in Indonesia, Hawaii, and Chicago. His first book, DREAMS FROM MY FATHER: A STORY OF RACE AND INHERITANCE, has been a long time New York Times bestseller.”

This is really an interesting read, go to Doug Powers and read the full post and the connect the dots investigation.

The question at hand is why lie? The Other McCain has an interesting theory that being born in Hawaii was not edgy enough to give him racial street cred. Let me just say that I am not a “birther” and actually do believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, but I also am a little taken aback by his continual lack of transparency and the fact that it appears his past is a made up fiction. We does the most transparent President ever not hand over his college transcripts and application. I am betting that it say origin of birth, Kenya.

This is all very important and not because Obama was born in Kenya but more to the point that Obama will lie and say anything for his advantage. This is hardly “Hope & Change” … it is the mark of an opportunist.

More to the point, who in the hell vets Presidential candidates? What is the process, do we just ask them whether they were born in the USA and if they say yes, that is goo enough? How could those vetting not have found something so simple? Of course we will learn long after Obama is out of office that those in the MSM knew about this all along and hushed it up.

NJ Gov. Christie on Obama … “Most Ill-Prepared Person to Assume the Presidency in my Lifetime,” … “Trying to find Lightswitch of Leadership”

Christie hammers Obama … “This is a guy who literally is walking around in a dark room trying to find the light switch of leadership.”

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is never at a loss for words and such was the case while delivering a speech to Republicans in Lexington, KY. Christie He went on to blast Obama stating, “He has sat in the Oval Office and cared more about posing and preening and making partisan politics the rule of the day in Washington D.C. than he’s cared about progress.”

Christie further went on to say, He [Obama] is the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime.”  If the shoe fits …

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told Kentucky Republicans on Saturday that President Barack Obama was “posing and preening” instead of working to resolve pressing issues facing the country.

“He is the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” Christie told some 600 Kentucky Republicans at a Lexington hotel. “This is a guy who literally is walking around in a dark room trying to find the light switch of leadership.”

Christie was in Kentucky to deliver a pep talk to state GOP leaders. The state’s presidential primary is Tuesday, though it will have no significant impact. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Interestingly enough, VP Joe Biden did not think that Barack Obama was ready either to be President. Biden stated that the Presidency did not lend itself to on the job training. Biden was actually correct on that one.

VP Joe Biden Blames Bush For West Virginia Voters Choosing Federal Prisoner Inmate No. 11593-051 Keith Judd Over Barack Obama

Barack Obama, Lost in Smallness yet again. This sad administration just cannot stop blaming George W. Bush, what a pathetic example of responsibility and leadership.

Never at a loss for ignorant and foolish comments, VP Joe Biden actually had the audacity to blame GWB for the reason why West Virginia voters chose by over 40% federal inmate # 11593-051 Keith Judd Over Barack Obama in the WV primaries.

From The Politico, Biden does not blame the people. Actually Joe, the people are not to blame, you and Obama are. Who promised Americans “Hope & Change”, who promised them with a $787 billion stimulus and under 8% unemployment rate? Who promised the American people transparency? Who promised jobs but instead gave America the government take over of healthcare? Who promised to cut the budget but instead made government spending completely out of control?

“Look, I come from a household where whenever there’s a recession, somebody around my grandpop or my dad’s table lost a job.

“A brother, a sister a friend, a neighbor. When you’re out of work, man, it’s a depression. And a lot of people are still hurting because of this god-awful recession we inherited that cost 8.4 million jobs before we could really get going. And so I don’t blame people, they’re frustrated, they’re angry.”

He added, “At the end of the day, they’re going to decide is the way back to their employment, is the way back to them being able to have a job and raise a family, is it under the value-set and the ideas of Romney, or is it under ours. And we feel confident that we’ll do just fine.”

In the end it will most likely be this lack of leadership that sways Independents away from a 2012 Obama/Biden ticket. After all, how lame is it to continuously blame others 4 years later? If one does not have what it takes in 4 years to turn around the economy and make good on the promises they made to get elected, they do not deserve reelection.

Obama and Biden are so quick to talk about what they inherited, how come they never praise Bush for inheriting all the intel that made it possible to track down Bin Laden? Just saying.

Linda McMahon Beats Christopher Shays in A WWE Smackdown 730-389 At GOP Convention

Could WWE nation provide the Nutmeg State with their first female US Senator ever?

Linda McMahon, the former WWE CEO, gave fellow GOP’er a smack down at the Republican state convention Friday night as she beat Christopher Shayes 730 to 389. However, the battle will continue against her rival Shayes until the Connecticut August primary.  McMahon said she intends to focus her campaign on Chris Murphy, the Democrats’ endorsed candidate, but will also continue to target Shays. “Chris Murphy and Chris Shays have very similar voting records. The November election will be a  battle royal for the retiring Joe Liberman’s US Senate seat.

Republican delegates at their state convention Friday night once again put their faith in U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon, although her contentious battle with rival Christopher Shays will continue until a mid-August primary.

McMahon, the former CEO of WWE, received 60.4 percent of the vote. Shays netted 32.2 percent, easily meeting the threshold — 15 percent of the total — to force a primary.

Linda McMahon said following her overwhelming victory:

“We’re going to send the first woman senator to Washington in the history of Connecticut,” she said in the speech that she said she would have made from the podium. “Connecticut, we’re tired of waiting.”

“We know our economy is not working because Americans are not working,” McMahon said. “We are going to move Washington out of the doldrums that it’s in. … We are going to get people back to work and get our economy stimulated.”

Mitt Romney Releases First Official Ad, What Would A Romney Presidency Look Like …“Day One”

ON DAY ONE …

Mitt Romney has released his first Presidential campaign video ad that very much separates himself from Barack Obama.  In the campaign ad there is no class warfare, no blame Bush, no continued, failed Obama policies … On Day One Romney states he would approve the XL-Keystone pipeline creating 1000′s of jobs that Obama has blocked, introduce pro-growth tax reforms that would reward job creators not punish them, and repeal Obamacare and replace it with common sense health care reform.

Sounds like a much better plan of action than we are presently on. Barack Obama will never be able to defend his last four years, Romney offers a welcome and much necessary change.
