The Hill Poll: 56% of Likely Voters Believe Obama Has Changed America for the Worse During His First Term as President

Overwhelming majority think that Barack Obama has changed America for the worse … ya think? Hey America, how’s that “hopey, changey” stuff working out for ya?

More bad polling data for President Barack Obama. A new poll from The Hill conducted by the Pulse Opinion Research stated that 56% of likely voters believe that President Barack Obama has changed America for the worse during his first term in office as opposed to only 35% who think he has changed it for the better. 91% of Republicans polled think that Obama’s changes are bad for America, while an interesting low number of 71% of Democrats think Obama’s changes have been good and a striking 20% of Democrats polled say that Obama has changed America in a negative way.

Full polling results can be seen HERE with cross-tabs.

Two-thirds of likely voters say President Obama has kept his 2008 campaign promise to change America — but it’s changed for the worse, according to a sizable majority.

A new poll for The Hill found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better under his leadership.

The results signal broad voter unease with the direction the nation has taken under Obama’s leadership and present a major challenge for the incumbent Democrat as he seeks reelection this fall.

This also follows the Rasmussen poll where a substantial percentage of Americans believe Obama’s policies are more extreme than Romney’s.

Who would have thought with an escalating national debt, 40+ weeks with an unemployment rate over 8%, record number of Americans on food stamps and continued poor job creation that Americans would think that Obama shift of America to socialism was a bad thing? But as stated at Jammie Wearing Fool, normally news like this would be a political death blow to an incumbent President, but not with an in the tank, suck up, bias and corrupt liberal media complex. A note to Team Elect Romney … WAKE THE HELL UP AND START TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS TERRIBLE POLLING.

Nice analysis at Q and O with a similar thought process that we have been stating for months. How can there be so much negative polling on specific issues and yet Obama be in the lead in the polls? At some point closer to election day, things are going to break one way or the other.

SACRIFICE: Campaigning More Important than Leadership as President, Barack Obama Will Skip Summer Vacation at Martha’s Vineyard

VACATIONER IN CHIEF FINALLY GIVES UP A VACATION FOR REELECTION … Finally Barack Obama shows some sacrifice, the Obama’s will skip their summer vacation at Martha’s Vineyard this year.

For the first time in three years, President Barack Obama and the first family will skip their annual summer vacation at Martha’s Vineyard.  However, Obama’s absence from the ‘Life Styles of the Rich and Famous’ of Marth’a Vineyard has nothing to do with the US unemployment rate is at 8.2%, 17.4% underemployment rate, record number of Americans on food stamps, pathetic job growth, increased number of discourage workers, record US debt, his failed $787 billion stimulus, or the Biden declared depression.

Reelection is more important that Leadership

The only reason why Obama will not be going to Martha’s Vineyard is because this is an election year. That is correct America, for the past three years Obama has stated that others need to sacrifice while he jetted off to Martha’s Vineyard for vacation. As millions of Americans could not afford to take a vacation thanks to the terrible economic policies and agenda of the President, Obama cared less. Instead of leading by example, in 2011 Obama and the first family went to the Vineyard in 2011 on separate plane. What’s the matter,  does Obama actually now care about the visual of him on vacation eating ice cream and biking as Americas continue to suffer?

It would appear Obama does not want this kind of pic to be in a 2012 election ad … who’s outta touch?

Last summer, Obama was criticized for vacationing at a time when Republicans said he should have been concentrating on the economy. With the election only four months away, any time spent bicycling or golfing on Martha’s Vineyard will be time the president can spend making a case for reelection.

Add Senator Claire McCaskill (MO-D) to List of Democrats Not Attending the Democrat National Convention

Hey Democrat politicians, how’s that Obama “hopey-changey” stuff working out for ya these days?

They are calling it a DEMPLOSION, we just call it running with scissors as fast as one can away from Obama …

If you are a Democrat politician in a tough battle in a “swing state” where President Barack Obama is not all that popular, chances are you will not be attending the Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC. Add Democrat Senator from Missouri Claire McCaskill to the list.

The list of run as far away from Barack Obama has grown to nine. Most likely this number will grow the closer we get to the convention and following the SCOTUS decision on Obamacare if they declare it unconstitutional. As stated at Michelle Malkin, it would appear that the sock drawer re-arranging is taking priority this year for many vulnerable Democrats. Yes it does. It took eight years for many to turn on GWB, Obama has accomplished the same results in less than four.

McCaskill joins a growing list of Democrats who won’t be in Charlotte, including Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, and Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., Mark Critz, D-Pa., Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., Bill Owens, D-N.Y., and Jim Matheson, D-Utah.

Oops, we spoke to soon. I could not even finish the post and another Democrat has decided to run from Obama and the Democrat National Convention. Add Montana’s Democrat Jon Tester to the list as well. As Weasel Zipper opines, “Charlotte now more radioactive than Chernobyl”. Yes it is, politically speaking of course.

Not only are Democrats avoiding the convention, Obama and his reelection minions are ruing the day that they chose North Carolna to have their convention. Through some ‘pie in the sky’ thought process they thought that it would win over voters to take the Tar Heel state, a state that Obama narrowly won in 2008. However, NC has been a fiasco for Obama and pretty much has been taken from the “battleground” category to leans Romney. Presently Romney leads Obama 47% to 44% in the latest Rasmussen poll. Although I tend the think that the race will not be that close.

EXIT QUESTION: Just how many US Reps and Senators will campaign with Obama in 2012?

Following SCOTUS Decison on Arizona Immigration, Homeland Security Suspends Immigration Agreements With Arizona Police

Talk about vindictive … Once again King Obama speaks and disregards the US Constitution, the US Supreme Court and his Oath of office … How’s that “hopey, changey” thing working out for you America?

In yet another act of Executive defiance, Barack Obama’s Homeland Security suspends Immigration agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws. They have issued a a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting cases of illegal immigration.  The following is an act of a sore loser President. On Monday the administration officials also said they are ending the seven 287(g) task force agreements with Arizona law enforcement officials, which proactively had granted some local police the powers to enforce immigration laws. UNREAL. So much for the rule of law and separation of powers. We have a President who thinks he is King.

The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.

Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.

“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.

The official said that despite the increased number of calls, which presumably means more illegal immigrants being reported, the Homeland Security Department is unlikely to detain a significantly higher number of people and won’t be boosting personnel to handle the new calls.

The Lonely Conservative says, why should we be surprised by the actions of the Obama Administration. If this is how they act, when the SCOTUS rules, could you imagine what Obama and his henchman will do of the Court strikes down Obamacare?

So this is what you get when you dare go against Barack Obama, you wind up on his enemies list. As stated at the PJ Tatler, This is a political maneuver designed to punish Arizona. Barack Obama congratulates the Muslim Brotherhood on their victory in the Egyptian Presidency, yet attack a US State and tries to make an example out of them because they dare defy der Obama on enforcing illegal immigration. Obama must be voted out in 2012, can you only imagine the disregard of the people and the US Constitution with a lame duck President?

It also tells us that the administration has given up on winning Arizona, which until recently was considered a swing state, this fall. Obama has written it off, and is now going Soviet on it to make it an example to others. He is essentially kicking Arizona out of whatever is left of the federal government’s border enforcement, declaring to smugglers and traffickers that Arizona is very much on its own.

Unemployed and Uninspired Youth Vote Abandoning Barack Obama in 2012 as Compared to the 2008′s Hope & Change Vote (VIDEO)

Look what happens when college kids are promised the world then graduate only to find themselves with no job with no hope to get one.

What a difference four years makes. The enthusiasm of the youth vote, age 18 to 29, from 2008 that helped Barack Obama win election is down dramatically in 2012. In the 2008 Presidential election Obama outdistanced John McCain 66% to 32% with the Youth vote. However, according to a recent Fox News poll only 55% of the youth vote is for Obama and 31% for Mitt Romney. The 10 percentage point drop in the youth vote can only be described by Democrats as one thing … racism.

As reported at The Blaze, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Saturday the young people who turned out in droves to vote Barack Obama into office were promised  “pie in the sky” — but what they got was “pie in the face.”

“A lot of these kids who were all excited about Barack Obama four years ago either got out of college or they’re in college now,” Huckabee said during Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend.“ ”What they’re finding, they’re $45,000 on average in student debt when they got out of school and they can‘t get a job and they’re moving back in with mom and dad. That’s not exactly the hope and the change they were looking for.”

He said those voters wouldn’t necessarily break for Romney — more likely, they’ll just stay home.

“But if they stay home, that’s devastating for Barack Obama. He has to have that youth vote,” Huckabee said.

It’s not just the Fox News poll that shows that Obama has lost his mojo with the youth vote, but also with a recent national survey of young voters taken by Hiram College’s Garfield Institute for Public Leadership. This poll shows that Obama has lost 7% with young voters and an even more surprising piece of data gleamed form the poll is that its a 43%-43% tie as to who they think is better suited to strengthen the economy and create jobs.

The June poll shows President Obama’s support has dropped significantly since both the 2008 Presidential campaign and this January.

President Obama is preferred by 50 percent of voters age 18-29. Mitt Romney is the choice of 37 percent.

Young voters are evenly divided on whether the President and Democrats or Romney and Republicans have more ability to strengthen the economy and create jobs, 43% to 43%.

The result is that the young voters might just stay home that would be devastating to Barack Obama’s reelection chances.
