Gallup: Barack Obama in Tie With Generic GOP Candidate for 2012 Presidential Election

According to the most recent Gallup Poll, Barack Obama is a deadlock tie, 45% – 45%, as to if registered voters would support Obama or an “unnamed” Republican candidate. One year ago Obama had a 44% to 42% lead when the same question was asked. So where did that so-called bounce for Obama and come back kid go that the MSM has been shilling?

As stated at The Hill, the results of the Gallup poll provide optimism for the many GOP candidates that are expected to run in the Republican Presidentialprimary to face Obama. Obama’s talk of “winning the future” looks like it may not include him politically. Although Republicans have a long way to go and need to come up with a dynamic new candidate, not a past retread … Barack Obama does face the spectre of losing to an unnamed candidate, not even a headline name.

The poll, release Wednesday, underlines an opportunity for the large field of potential Republican candidates looking to defeat Obama on the heels of the Democrats’ “shellacking” in the 2010 midterm elections, when they lost control of the House and six Senate seats.

The results of the generic ballot survey are virtually unchanged from last year, when Obama held a slight two-point edge over a generic Republican.

But the poll suggests Obama is more vulnerable than former President George W. Bush at this point in his presidency.

Interestingly enough, when Obama’s poll versus a generic candidate is compared to GWB at the same time, Bush beat a generic Democrat among registered voters by 47% to 39%.

In polling from October 2001 through January 2004, George W. Bush consistently led an unnamed Democratic opponent, although by a shrinking margin as his job approval rating descended from a post-9/11 reading of 87% to the 50s and 60s. In February 2003, the point in Bush’s presidency comparable to Obama’s presidency today, Bush beat a generic Democrat among registered voters by 47% to 39%.

Arizona Sen. John McCain predicted on Sunday that the recent governmental overthrow in Egypt would likely spur similar movements throughout the world, and warned foreign leaders in countries like China and Russia that they might be “a little less secure” of their power in light of recent events.

“I don’t think this is confined to the Middle East, just as we believe that human rights are universal,” said McCain, in an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

These winds of change that are blowing, I think I would be a little less cocky in the Kremlin with my KGB cronies today if I were [Russian Prime Minister] Vladimir Putin,” he warned.“I would be a little less secure in the seaside resort that [Chinese] President Hu and a few men who govern and decide the fate of 1.3 billion people.”

Democrats Abandoning Ship Across the South … Switch to the GOP … Democrat Party Does not Represent Conservative Dems

It was the obvious handwriting on the wall following the shellacking the Democrats took in the 2010 midterm elections … They did not leave the Democrat party, the party left them.

Many Democrats in the South are reading the tea leaves and see that the Democrat party no longer represents the people, especially in the South. As reported at the LA Times, the latest Democrat to switch parties is  Ashley Bell from Georgia. The Pelosi-Reid-Obama lead Democrats made it obvious that conservatives are not welcome in the so-called “big tent” Democrat party. Add 29 state Democrat legislatures to the 680 that one election in 2010 … the shift is on to the GOP.

Reporting from Atlanta — For Democrats, Ashley Bell was the kind of comer that a party builds a future on: A young African American lawyer, he served as president of the College Democrats of America, advised presidential candidate John Edwards and spoke at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.

But after his party’s midterm beat-down in November, Bell, a commissioner in northern Georgia’s Hall County, jumped ship. He joined the Republicans.

Bell, 30, said he had serious issues with the healthcare law and believed that conservative “blue dog” Democrats in Congress who shared his values had been bullied into voting for it.

Democrats switching to the GOP has been a sign of the times since the 2010 midterm elections. The count to date, 24 state senators and representatives have made the switch in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Texas. This is added to the 680 seats that the GOP picked up in the state legislatures in the 2010 elections.

As stated at the Daily Caller, “because of the wave of defections, Republicans in Louisiana now hold a majority in the state House for the first time since Reconstruction”. Many in the South have come to realize that the liberals that are the power brokers in the Democrat party in no way represent Conservative Democrats and their is no reason to stay in a party that does not represent their beliefs or values.

President Barack Obama Tells Bill O’Reilly He is Not Moving to the Center … “”I haven’t, I didn’t move to … I’m the same guy”

Obama …Change? Hardly.

During the President Barack Obama – Bill O’Reilly pre-Super Bowl interview yesterday on FOX, Obama told O’Reilly that he was not moving to the center. Bill O’Reilly, the king of cable news asked President Obama whether he was pivoting following the shellacking the Democrats took during the 2010 midterm. Obama’s response should be a wake up call to independents who though he was. Obama said, no, “I haven’t — I didn’t move to… I’m the same guy.”

President Obama on Sunday dismissed the notion that his administration in recent weeks has pivoted toward the political center to raise his approval ratings as the 2012 campaign nears.

After ushering through Congress measures to throw a lifeline to troubled U.S. corporations, stimulate the economy and dramatically overhaul the nation’s healthcare system, Obama has since cut a deal with congressional Republicans on taxes and called for a freeze on most federal spending.

But when pressed Sunday during a live interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly on what political analysts say is a clear sprint toward the center, Obama dismissed the notion with a “no.”

“I haven’t — I didn’t move to… I’m the same guy,” he said.

So much for the liberal media’s attempt to portray Obama was moving to the center and being “Reaganesque”. From the horses mouth, Obama is the same old liberal president as he ever was. So much for Obama being a moderate. Americans might want to remember these words in the 2012 elections,

Gallup: President Barack Obama More Polarizing in Year 2 Than Year 1 … No Kidding! Really?

Obama Year 2 hardly a sign of “Hope & Change”.

So you thought that President Barack Hussein Obama was the most polarizing president in a first year for a president.  Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet as a recent Gallup poll shows. According to Gallup Barack Obama was more polarizing in his second year of office than he was his first. Obama had a 68% party gap between GOP and Democrat approval ratings.

President Barack Obama’s job approval ratings were even more polarized during his second year in office than during his first, when he registered the most polarized ratings for a first-year president. An average of 81% of Democrats and 13% of Republicans approved of the job Obama was doing as president during his second year. That 68-point gap in party ratings is up from 65 points in his first year and is easily the most polarized second year for a president since Dwight Eisenhower.

Year Two of Obamanation: Barack Obama’s Approval Rating = GWB’s in Year 5 of Presidency. Once again the Politico shows just how Left-wing that they have become. Their title to Obama’s polarization, “Poll reveals striking divide on Obama”. STRIKING? What’s so striking? To most common sense people, the results are nothing more than would be expected. As much as the LEFT and MSM want to suddenly compare Obama to Ronald Reagan, an individual who the LEFT hated might I add, Obama is no Reagan. Obama’s signature piece of legislation, Obamacare, which has consumed the first two years of his presidency rather than jobs and the economy, is now realing as the courts have ruled it unconstitutional. There has never been a more leftist, liberal President ever. Is it any wonder why he is so polarizing.

 As per the Gallup poll, GWB’s year 4, 5 and 6 were the only presidential years with a higher polarizing gap. However, we have yet to reach Obama’s 4th year to see what the number will be and if America is presented with a year 5 and 6 under Obama … God help us all.
