Gallup … Obama’s Class Warfare Argument Failing with People, 75% Do Not Give a Damn that Romney has Money

Only 20% of America green with envy … 75% say it makes no difference how much money Romney has.

It would appear that President Barack Obama’s class warfare rhetoric is not winning hearts, minds and support of the American people. As reported at the Politico, only 20% say that Mitt Romney’s wealth would make a difference in supporting him for President. The Gallup poll showed that a whopping 75% say it makes no difference at all. So sorry Mr. President that your divisive political rhetoric of attacking Romney has not worked. Wow, what does Obama have left? He might actually have to run on his economic record for the past 3+ years, say it isn’t so. With all due respect to the Politico, “… One in five registered voters, largely Democrats and independents”, sorry but when one has a meager 20%, you do not get to use the bias analysis or the term “largely”.

One in five registered voters, largely Democrats and independents, say that Mitt Romney’s wealth makes it less likely that they will support him for president, according to a poll out Thursday.

While 75 percent of voters said Romney’s riches made no difference in their voting preferences, 20 percent said it made them less likely to vote for him, reports Gallup.

A small percentage — 4 percent — said Romney’s wealth made it more likely that they would vote for him.

“As you know Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a net worth of over $200 million. Does the fact that he is this rich make you more likely or less likely to vote for him, or does it make no difference?” the question from Gallup read.

More analysis from Gallup on the massive percentage of people who say that Romney’s wealth makes no difference in their vote.

The Obama campaign has targeted Romney’s wealth in recent weeks, stressing his net worth and how he earned it as head of Bain Capital, where he has invested it, and the fact that he has not released all of his tax returns from the last decade. Obama’s campaign is apparently using Romney’s wealth in its efforts to convince voters that Romney is not as well-equipped as Obama to understand the problems and needs of middle- and lower-class Americans. The Romney campaign has pushed back, stressing that voters are more interested in fixing the economy than in the candidates’ personal financial situations.

Gallup: Americans’ Confidence in Television News Drops to New Low

Is it any wonder by the bias in the MSM that American’s confidence in TV news has dropped to an all time low? According to a recent Gallup poll,only 21% of Americans have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the TV news media. What is most interesting is that liberals and moderates lost so much confidence in television news this year, 11 and 10 percent, respectively. Isn’t that rich since the TV media is predominately liberal slanted.  Conservatives already know that the MSM is bias. Only 25% expressed confidence in newspapers.

The findings are from Gallup’s annual update on confidence in U.S. institutions, conducted June 7-10 this year. As such, the findings preceded the erroneous initial reports by cable-news networks CNN and Fox News regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 28 decision about the constitutionality of the U.S. healthcare law.

Among 16 U.S. institutions tested, television news ranks 11th, following newspapers in 10th place. The 25% of adults who express a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in newspapers is down slightly from 28% last year. Confidence in newspapers is now half of what it was at its peak of 51% in 1979.

The Politico was quick to blame cable news; however, a majority of Americans watch network news and its the ABC, CBS and NBC news outlets that need to step it up and actually report the news, not editorialize it.

Gallup: Barack Obama Falls to 43% Approval Rating as the Walls of Obama are Crumbling

From Gallup comes the following … President Barack Obama approval rating falls to 43%. One has to wonder how his approval rating does not fall even lower with continued poor job reports, 8.2% unemployment, record number of Americans on food stamps, millions of Americans no longer in the work force, record federal debt, a failed $787 billion stimulus bill, Obama evoking executive privilege with ‘Fast & Furious’ docs in stonewalling the family of murdered border agent Brian Terry and on the verge of the SCOTUS either declaring the ‘individual mandate’ Unconstitutional or the entire Obamacare law.

Gallup: Barack Obama’s 2008 White Base Shows Cracks … Down 5 Points … Obama Trending Down with Jews & Union Membership as Well

Even more bad polling data for President Barack Obama …

The latest Gallup poll shows that Barack Obama has a problem with his White base in 2012.As Obama plays class and race warfare in the 2012 election, the dirty little secret is that it was “white” America that voted Obama into office. However, that was then and this is now. Polls show that Obama is down 6% with non-Hispanic whites and even down 4% with non-Hispanic blacks. What is rather remarkable is that Obama is trending down with pretty much every demographic in 2012 as compared to 2008.

Gallup Daily tracking indicates Barack Obama is receiving less support in the 2012 presidential election from some of the white subgroups that gave him the strongest support in 2008. These include non-Hispanic white registered voters who are 18 to 29 years old, female postgrads, and the nonreligious, among others.

Gallup Poll

Obama Down Five Percentage Points Among All Voters

The 46% of registered voters supporting Obama today is five percentage points below the 51% supporting him in final weeks of the 2008 election campaign. Similarly, whites’ support for Obama is six points lower than it was in October/November 2008 (38% vs. 44%), and blacks’ is down four points (87% vs. 91%). At the same time, Hispanics’ support, at 67%, is essentially unchanged.

Whites make up about three-quarters of all U.S. registered voters, and are therefore the most important racial or ethnic group in any election, at least mathematically.

On Memorial Day Weekend, Veterans Give Romney Big Lead Over Obama, 58% – 34%

Barack Obama can give all the speeches he wants to the military, the fact of the matter is that they can see through such pandering. According to a recent Gallup poll, US military veterans, 13% of the US population give Mitt Romney a huge edge 58% to 34%. The remarkable 24 point advantage is nothing in comparison to the 60% to 32% that Romney has with Veteran men over woman vets.

Mitt Romney delivered a Memorial Day tribute in San Diego.

Mitt Romney thanked the sacrifice of servicemen and women while warning of the grave dangers around the globe, remarking frankly that “the world is not safe” before ticking off a list of grave security issues around the globe.

“I wish I could tell you that the world is a safe place today,” said Romney, speaking before a crowd of nearly 5,000 which included servicemen and women in uniform. The sizable crowd is one of the largest Romney has ever drawn. “It’s not. Iran is rushing to become a nuclear nation. As the national sponsor of terror around the world, the thought of missile material in the hands of Hezbollah or Hamas or other terrorists is simply unthinkable. Pakistan is home to some 100 nuclear weapons.”

The antiwar rhetoric from Obama over the years has a way of defining what an individual really thinks of the troops. As as we are reminded by the Gateway Pundit what Barack Obama thinks of America’s finest, they make a great photo-op.
