Bad Polling News for Obama … Battleground Tracking Poll Shows Democrats Less Enthusiastic than Republicans

It would seem that Democrats are tired of being tired and out of work …

In a close political race, the election will be determined on turn out and according to battleground poll, Republicans are much more enthusiastic that Democrats.

Democrats have a severe enthusiasm issue when it comes to the upcoming Presidential election. According to a new Politico/George Washington University poll, of likely voters only 73% who support Barack Obama say they are “extremely likely” to vote, as compared to 86% who back Romney. Making matters worse for Obama, 84% of Republicans say they are extremely likely to vote, as compared to 76% of Democrats.

A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll [polling date HERE] of likely voters shows Obama ahead of Mitt Romney 49 percent to 48 percent nationally, a statistical tie and a percentage point closer than a week ago.

The head-to-head numbers have held remarkably steady through the past three weeks, but there’s been a notable shift of intensity from the Democrats to the Republicans since the party conventions over a month ago. Most of the poll’s calls were made before Romney’s strong performance at the first presidential debate in Denver.

Only 73 percent who support Obama say they are “extremely likely” to vote, compared to 86 percent who back Romney. Likewise, 84 percent of Republicans say they are extremely likely to vote, compared to 76 percent of Democrats.

Among those extremely likely to vote, Romney actually leads Obama 52 percent to 46 percent. That’s up from a 2-point lead last week. Obama led 50 percent to 47 percent among this group three weeks ago.

Who can honestly say that this is surprising? Why would anyone be enthusiastic about what has happened the past 4 years under Obama? Does America really want four more years of record food stamps, record federal deficits, a +$16 trillion debt, failed job growth, a real unemployment that is in the mid to high teens and a 30 year low employment participation rate?

How does a Democrat get jazzed about a Presidency where even Obama did not care enough to prepare for a presidential debate and turned in such an epic failure of a performance that it is going down by many as one of the worse ever? Hope and Change is gone and has been replaced by one of the most negative campaigns ever. The Obama message has gone from “Hope” to Romney lied with no explanation what Obama will do in the next four years. The GOP had Bush fatigue after 8 years, it would seem that Democrats have done the same after four exhausting Obama years.

JACK WELCH: Obama Is Manipulating The Jobs Numbers Because His Debate Performance Was Awful … Household Survey, Biggest One Month Jump Since June 1983, 5 Weeks Before Election … “Does Not Pass the Smell Test” … WATCH THE PARTICIPATION RATE!!!

Sorry, but some things just do not pass the smell test … Obama trying to pass off the unemployment rate off as below 8% when a record number of Americans have left the work force.

Following the questionable September 2012 jobs numbers yesterday, former GE CEO Jack Welch tweeted the following that he was extremely critical of the dubious data and accused Obama of manipulation the jobs numbers because of his poor Presidential debate performance.Who would you believe, Jack welch, probably one of the greatest CEO’s ever or the Obama Administration?

Like many other individuals are having, these numbers are not believable. Jack Welch stated that the economic numbers are so off the charts that they are not believable and they should not be presented to the American public as fact that would affect a Presidential election. That of course was the intention of such skewed data that not one economist saw coming. NOT ONE!

At question is how one survey, the Establishment Survey, can have 114,000 non-farm payroll jobs created as reported by the BLS; however, here comes the whopper that is a bit hard to believe …  shocking in the report was that the number of unemployed people dropped by 456,000 to  12.1 million. As stated at NewsBusters, Maybe more shocking, total employment, as measured by the Household Survey, rose by 873,000 in September to 142,974,000, the biggest one month jump since June 1983. Really? Really? How can two surveys of jobs be that far off?

Jack Welch defends his Tweet on CNN

“Twenty five economists were polled and stated the average number of jobs would be about 115K jobs and an 8.1 unemployment.  And then all of a sudden we wake up in the morning and the unemployment rate is at 7.8% with a bunch of assumptions.”

Nearly every economic in America was predicting jobs gained somewhere between 110,000 and 120,000 jobs for September. No one and let me repeat that, NO ONE, was making any such ludicrous prediction of +800K jobs. In the VIDEO below, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis appeared on CNBC and was asked, whether the books have been cooked? Her response was she was insulted to hear such a question. Sorry Madame secretary, we are insulted that the Obama administration would pass anything like this off as a true picture of the job situation in America.

The Weekly Standard has some responses as to these implausible numbers that were released after President Obama failed miserably during the first Presidential debate and 5 weeks before a Presidential elections. Numbers that could only benefit Barack Obama, even though they are completely unbelievable and such an outlier that they should be completely regarded as BS.

“The report presented a slew of contradictory data points, with the total employment level soaring despite the low net number,” said CNBC’s Jeff Cox.

The Washington Post’s Neil Irwin adds, “Weird that payrolls are exactly on forecast but household survey is far better.”

And the Wall Street Journal warns that these numbers should be taken “with a grain of salt.”

AMERICA DO NOT GET DISTRACTED BY A NUMBER THAT CAN BE SO EASILY MANIPULATED BY POOR DATA!!!

The unemployment number does not count people who just have given up and are no longer looking. What you want to keep your eye on is the LABOR PARTICIPATION RATE that is put out by the BLS. When it comes to the economy and jobs one need to look no further than the following data, when Obama took office the participation rate was 65.8. It is presently 63.6, a loss of 2.2 since Obama has been in office. The number has gone down ever year of, his presidency. Yet we are supposed to believe that the economy and jobs are better? Sorry, that is not the case, not even close. Not when 23 million Americans are out of work, record number of Americans are on food stamps

Labor Force Participation Rate

UPDATE I: Jack Welch also appeared with Fox New’s and stated, the numbers just don’t smell right as they relate to this economy. No one is doing better in the third quarter than they were in the second. Sorry, but these economic numbers are too important to mess with and you know that Barack Obama is going to tout them as his Obamanomics is working when there is no way to anyone who pays attention, knows it is not.

Jack Welch On Fox News: ‘These Numbers Don’t Smell Right’ … The VIDEO can be see HERE.

Obamanomics: Barack Obama … 4 Straight Years of Trillion Dollar Deficits … CBO Says $1.1Trillion for 2012

How’s that Obama “Hopey-Changey” cutting in half of the federal deficit working out for you?

President Barack Obama has set yet another record … four straight yeas of trillion dollar deficits. The CBO says that the federal deficit was $1.1 trillion for 2012.  Remember the 2008 candidate Barack Obama campaign promise when Obama stated he would cut the federal deficit in half in four years? How’s that working out for you America?Good grief, which showed that the the Obama government borrowed 31 cents for every dollar it spent.

A new estimate puts the deficit for the just-completed 2012 budget year at $1.1 trillion, the fourth straight year of trillion dollar deficits on President Barack Obama’s watch.

The result was a slight improvement from the 2011 deficit of $1.3 trillion.

The bleak figures from the Congressional Budget Office, while expected, add fodder for the heated presidential campaign, in which Obama’s handling of the economy and the budget is a main topic. Friday’s release came as the government announced that the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent last month, matching the rate when Obama took office.

The administration will release the official deficit numbers around mid-October, but they should line up closely with the CBO estimate, which showed that the government borrowed 31 cents for every dollar it spent.

63 Million People Saw Mitt Romney Take Obama to the Politcal Wood Shed During the 1st Presidential Debate in Denver, CO

The age old adage has never been more true than what occurred the other night during the first Presidential debate in Denver, CO dubbed the “Duel in Denver” … you do not get a second chance to make a first impression.

More than 63 million viewers watched GOP Presidential challenger Mitt Romney politically alienate Barack Obama during the debate. What many have called one of the best and worst debate performances ever, Romney easily won the debate at the night’s end, not on points, but by a knock out as seen by two post debate polls, HERE and HERE and more importantly, by the reaction of the LEFT. More people saw this debate between Romney and Obama than tuned in for the 2008 Presidential debate. For an electorate that many had deemed as uninterested, it would appear that many were engaged and saw Obama come across as not engaged and struggling to defend his failed polices or make any lucid comments.

Make that 67 million viewed.

From Mediabistro:

More than 58 million people watched the first Presidential debate last night between President Obama and Mitt Romney, up substantially from the first debate in the 2008 election cycle, which had 52.4 million viewers.

Fox News was the most-watched cable news network during the debate, and will likely be the most-watched network on TV, though final broadcast numbers will not be released until after 4 PM.

What was the end result of the victory by Mitt Romney … all the Obama attacks ads against Romney mean nothing. Romney displayed himself as a warm, classy, intelligent, reasonable candidate and man. But most importantly Romney came across as completely … Presidential!

7.8% Unemployment for September 2012 with only 114K Jobs Created … What a Joke, Now We Know Why Obama Phoned in Debate, The Books Were Cooked

OBAMA US UNEMPLOYMENT RATE 0.00%

What a joke, this should be deemed criminal …Obama will do anything to get reelected include perpetrate this employment fabrication on “We the People”.

The  US added only 114,000 jobs in September and miraculously just five weeks before the 2012 Presidential election managed to fall to 7.8%. It’s a miracle I tell you!!! The U-6 unemployment number, which accounts for the underemployed and those who have given up looking for jobs, held steady at 14.7 percent. 873,000 people said they found work yet only 114,000 were actually employed full time??? Hell, why make it 7.85, why not make it 5%? How about 0%? Why not, it’s just as plausible as to how 873,000 people claim they found work from the Household survey, yet only 114,000 jobs were created.

This reminds me of a quote from the movie, The Shawshank Redemption, when Warden Samuel Norton learns that Abdy’s cell is empty … “Lord, it’s a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind! Nothing left but some damn rocks on the windowsill. And that cupcake on the wall!” What honest thinking person actually believes any of this other than those who drink the Obama Kool-aid?

Obama is laughing at you America that you are buying this unemployment BS

Job growth remained tame in September, with the economy creating just 114,000 net new positions though the unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent.

The report presented a slew of contradictory data points, with the total employment level soaring despite the low net number.

The falling jobless rate had been a function as much of the continued shrinking in the labor force as it was an increase in new positions.

But the government said the total number of jobs employed surged by 873,000, the highest one-month jump in 29 years. The total of unemployed people tumbled by 456,000.

The labor force participation rate, which reflects those working as well as looking for work, edged higher to 63.6 percent but remained around 30-year lows. The total labor force grew by 418,000, possibly accounting for the relatively modest net level of job growth.

Economists were expecting 113,000 more jobs and the rate to rise to 8.2 percent. Last month saw 142,000 new jobs as the rate dropped from 8.3 percent in July.

So now we know why Obama looked so apathetic and uninterested during the debate the other night, Obama knew the books were cooked to have Obama have an unemployment number 8%. This should be criminal. But what else would we expect from Chicago politics.

Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE tweeted the following:

Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric [GE  22.95      (---)   ], caused a stir after the numbers were released, tweeting “Unbelievable jobs numbers…these Chicago guys will do anything…can’t debate so change numbers.”

Watch the folks (VIDEO) at CNBC, especially Rick Santelli just laugh at these cooked unemployment numbers as he had previously predicted that the Obama Admin would force the numbers below 8% by using any means possible.
