The DNC Convention Bounce is Over, Rasmussen Has Romney Up by 1% over Obama … 50% Believe Romney Better for Economy

It would appear that the sugar high of the post Democrat Convention poll bounce is over. The most recent Rasmussen poll has Mitt Romney now up by 1% over Barack Obama, 47% to 46%. It would also seem that Romney has energized his base as Republicans are more motivated to vote for Romney than Democrats for Obama. Also, it what may be one of the most important indicators of the 2012 Presidential election, the likely American voters trust Romney over Obama with the economy 50% to 43%.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 47% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 46% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

Romney has solidified the GOP vote and holds a 77-point lead among Republicans. That’s slightly larger than Obama’s 72-point advantage among Democrats.

When “leaners” are included, it’s Romney 49% and Obama 47%. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either candidate but express a preference for one of them in a follow-up question.

Barack Obama Opens Up 4 Point Lead Over Romney in Gallup National Poll Following DNC Convention … Will Dismal Economic Jobs Report Affect Bounce?

It would appear that Barack Obama has received a post convention bounce according to two polls released on Saturday. The Gallup daily tracking poll has Obama at 49% support among registered voters and GOP candidate Mitt Romney with 45%. A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Saturday also has a Obama up; however, it is reported with a rather misleading title that Obama leads despite jobs data. Sorry, but the pathetic, anemic and poor jobs report came out on Friday. That is hardly enough time to feel the effects in a poll released on Saturday. Also, the polls for the swing states are going to be a better predictor for who shall be the next President of the United States. In not one battleground state is Obama polling at 50% or better.

President Obama’s post-convention bounce has grown to four points according to two new polls released Saturday.

Gallup’s daily tracking poll has Obama at 49 percent support among registered voters to GOP candidate Mitt Romney’s 45 percent.

The new figures show a 1-point increase for Obama from Friday’s results and reflects voter sentiment after the final day of the Democratic National Convention.

The Gateway Pundit reminds us to be not afraid, Gallup had Jimmy Carter up 4 points over Ronald Reagan in September 1980. We all know how that election turned out and how the undecided voted. I ma hardly suggesting that Romney will win like Reagan did in 1980; however, it is most likely that undecided voters will break to the challenger Romney due to the poor economy.

At some point Americans are going to have to determine how 43+ months of an unemployment rate over 8%, a record number of Americans on food stamps, a national debt over $16 trillion and Barack Obama with no answers to any of it except for more of the same and asking for more time is the answer. Any one with a clue, who actually loves America and wants the United States to go forward and not wind up in economic disaster will vote for Romney.

US Sen. Barrasso (R-Wyoming) Delivered the Weekly GOP Address … “President Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any President since World War II” … “More presidential rhetoric, and a plea for more time, won’t heal our economy.”

Barack Obama, a legacy of failure for America …

US  Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming) yesterday delivered the Weekly GOP Address, following Friday’s dismal  jobs report. In the Weekly Republican Address, Barrasso said the following that, We are not better off than we were four years ago and “the undeniable truth is, President Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any President since World War II.” Barrasso went on to say,“when the President was hyping his so-called stimulus program, his economic team claimed unemployment would not go above 8 percent”. Instead, it’s been higher than 8 percent for 43 straight months.” 43 months and counting and the only reason why it is has gone up even more is that the participation rate is at a low not seen since 1981, those individuals who have just given up and left the work force is not counted. If they were, the actual unemployment rate would be over 11%.

“More presidential rhetoric, and a plea for more time, won’t heal our economy.”

Excepts of the GOP Weekly Address:

“The reality is that America is not better off than it was four years ago.

“Today, 23 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Many are our friends, neighbors, and family members.

“The undeniable truth is, President Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any President since World War II.

“When the President was hyping his so-called stimulus program, his economic team claimed unemployment would not go above 8 percent, and that it would be below 6 percent by now. Instead, it’s been higher than 8 percent for 43 straight months.

“It’s bad enough the stimulus money was wasted. Even worse, he borrowed the money, much of it from China.

“Household incomes have dropped by more than $4,000, while the cost of everyday living has gone up.

“Gasoline prices have gone up another 30 cents a gallon in just over a month. Americans recently paid the highest prices ever on a Labor Day weekend.

“One out of every seven people in America is now on food stamps.“

“For every year since he took office, President Obama has spent at least a trillion dollars more than Washington took in, all of it borrowed.

“Under his watch, government spends too much, borrows too much, and grows bigger every day.

“President Obama’s record of failure has come at a great cost to our country and our future.

“The President’s policies have failed to produce the results, accountability, and solutions the American people deserve. The Obama Administration is simply not moving our country forward.

“It’s been said that, faced with his record, the President has changed his hope and change message of four years ago to one of divide and conquer today.

“More presidential rhetoric, and a plea for more time, won’t heal our economy.”

Wake up America, Barack Obama did not but provide promises in 2008. During the 2012 DNC convention it was just more of the same and provided more empty promises.

Obama, Obamanomics & the Bias MSM: 173K New Food Stamp Recipients, 96k New Jobs & 368K Leave Work Force

Welcome to Obamanomics and the corrupt main stream media complex where suddenly the poor, down and out and homeless have suddenly disappeared from the media reporting. As reported at Breitbart.com, when the GOP is in the White House, the homeless and poor appear everywhere, when Democrats and especially Barack Obama is in the Oval Office, the poor suddenly disappear like magic. The Obama reality is 173,000 new food stamp recipients, 96,000 new jobs and 368,000 give up and quit the work force. Yet, no one in the MSM media wants to talk about it.

The media’s been even worse with Barack Obama. Not only have the homeless vanished from news coverage, but so have America’s poor. But as NBC’s David Gregory made clear, if you even try to bring up the record number of food stamp recipients Barack Obama’s failed policies have created, you’ll be labeled a racist.

What is a cold, hard fact, though, is that in the last accounting available to us (May), America’s food stamp rolls increased by 173,000.  In the last jobs numbers available to us (August), only 96,000 new jobs were created.

Yes, this is the record of a president running for reelection with the slogan “Forward.”

Do your job, mainstream media, people are suffering.

Time to see the bigger moral world above your personal desire to see Obama reelected and report the truth.

But as the MSM and NBC’s David Gregory have made clear, if you even try to bring up the record number of food stamp recipients Barack Obama’s failed policies have created, you’ll be labeled a racist (Video).

47 million people are on food stamps, 1 out of every 6 Americans are on food stamps

Imagine, just imagine if a Republican president had the same economic numbers as Barack Obama does presently and the poor trending track record, they MSM would open every news segment is the headlines “FAILURE”!!! Ever segment would be devoted to the poor economic conditions and they would put a face to the plight. Instead, sadly we may have reached a point in this country where the MSM has tipped the scaled and become strictly a propaganda tool for the LEFT and whose sole purpose is to lie to the American people rather than inform them.

Remember when Thomas Jefferson said the following in 1787? Sadly, the MSM no longer covers news topics and issues as it was intended to do. They do so only if it furthers their political, bias agenda and protect and run cover for Democrats and Barack Obama.   The MSM was supposed to to inform and protect the people against government, all government no matter what party, not be in bed with government.

The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

However, sadly and even more cynical … Barack Obama looks at a new food stamp recipient as a potential vote in his column. Another hooked American on a government giveaway and dependent on the federal government. What a sad state of affairs for America.

Obamanomics EPIC FAIL … August 2012 Jobs Numbers: New Jobs at 96,000, Missing Expectations; Rate Hits 8.1% Because 368,000 People Left the Work Force

OBAMA ECONOMIC FAIL!!! SO AMERICA, ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY THAN YOU WERE FOUR YEARS AGO?

The August 2012 jobs numbers are out and they are disastrous for Barack Obama, but most importantly, they are even more disastrous for America. Only an anemic 96,000 jobs were created in August  and missing the expectations of 125K jobs. However, the unemployment rate shrunk to 8.1%. One might think that is a good thing and a partisan Barack Obama and his minions might just spin it as so. However, the real reason why the unemployment rate went from 8.3% to 8.1% was because 368,000 left the work force and just gave up.

The job numbers get worse:

• The June employment numbers fell from 64,000 to 45,000
• July’s number came in at 141,000 from an originally reported 163,000

Obama reads the bad economic numbers for August and another nail in his political Presidential reelection bid

Employment growth remained weak in August, with just 96,000 new positions created but the unemployment rate dropping to 8.1 percent, according to a report that raises the possibility of more Federal Reserve easing.

Despite hopes that job creation would be better than expected, the monthly report fell short of economist expectations that 125,000 jobs were added for the month.

A more encompassing measure of unemployment, which counts those not looking for jobs, fell to 14.7 percent from 15.0 percent in July.

But job reports for June and July were revised lower. The June count fell from 64,000 to 45,000, while July’s number came in at 141,000 from an originally reported 163,000.

As reported at Hot Air … this is a 30 year low in the work force under this President. How sad, pathetic and tell of the Obama administration. Americans are just giving up. What a commentary of Obama.

Bureau of Labor:

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.6 percent),
adult women (7.3 percent), teenagers (24.6 percent), whites (7.2 percent), blacks
(14.1 percent), and Hispanics (10.2 percent) showed little or no change in August.
The jobless rate for Asians was 5.9 percent (not seasonally adjusted), little
changed from a year earlier.

No wonder Barack Obama’s speech was so flat last night and a major disappointment. No wonder Obama did not mention anything to do with his stimulus plan, Obmacare and details of how he was going to fix the economy. Remember, Barack Obama was well aware of these economic numbers before he made his speech last night. If he had painted a rosy picture and then these numbers came out, Americans would have said a collective, WTF. More so than they are this morning.

Following this economic disaster, there will be no Obama convention ounce, if anything the bounce may be a negative and go to Romney.

Remember when Obama said he will be held accountable, if he does not have this fixed in three years, it is going to be a one term proposition? Hold him to it America.
