Gallup Poll: Joe Biden’s Favorability Rating Sinks as Low as His Recent Incoherant Attacks

Uncle Joe underwater with favorability/unfavoribility with “We the People”.

What are the odds that there is a correlation between Vice President Joe Biden’s sudden “unfavoribility” and his incoherent rants and attacks on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital at the bequest of the Obama reelect campaign? According to a recent Gallup poll,  Biden suddenly finds himself with a all time low of 42% and a 45% unfavoribility. Most glaring in the Gallup poll is that Independents have a 37/47 favorability of Biden.

Americans are about equally likely to have a favorable (42%) as an unfavorable (45%) view of Joe Biden, which has been the case for most of his tenure as U.S. vice president. Americans were much more positive than negative toward Biden from the time he was chosen as Barack Obama’s running mate through the first several months of the Obama administration.

The May 10-13 USA Today/Gallup poll marks the first time opinions of Biden have tilted negative since he became Obama’s vice presidential pick, but they are not materially different from the closely divided but still net positive ratings of Biden from October 2009-March 2011.

As The Weekly Standard asks, how does a negative favorability help Obama in 2012? However, the reason why Biden has an underwater “favorability rating” is because of Obama and his scorched earth 2012 reelect theme.  The more Obama and Biden attack capitalism and what made America great, the more people are really beginning to question what these two are all about. Both Obama and attack dog Biden are coming off as angry as all they can do is divide and rant about others as they certainly cannot run on their record.

Making matters even worse, Biden not popular in swing states either. Much buzz has been made that Biden should be replaced and Hillary Clinton added to the Obama 2012 Presidential ticket. Never going to happen. Barack Obama would never admit that his image could be dragged down by Biden and would certainly never admit he needed Bill & Hillary’s help for reelection. Obama is all in with Biden.

In the 12 swing states likely to determine the outcome of the presidential election, only 40% of registered voters view Biden favorably, while 54% view him unfavorably. These numbers are worse than President Obama’s who is seen favorably by 50% of registered voters in those same states and unfavorably by 49%.

The 12 swing states in the poll are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. These states are all considered too close to call for the November election.

Obama Way Behind in Catholic Vote As Compared to 2008 … Gallup Poll Tied at 46% A Piece

Once again we see that for Barack Obama, this ain’t 2008 anymore. Obama’s war on religion taking its toll on his poll numbers. 

In the 2008 Presidential election, Barack Obama won the Catholic vote by nine points, 54% to 45%, over John McCain on his way to a seven-point victory.  That was then, this is now.  According to the most recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are tied with the Catholic vote at 46% to 46%. Protestants are also supporting Romney by 9 points, 51% to 41%. As stated at Hot Air, it would appear that Obama has completely alienated and lost millions of Catholic votes after announcing the HHS mandate that would force religious hospitals, schools, and charities to fund contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients.

Catholic voters in the United States are evenly split in their support for Barack Obama and Mitt Romney for president, mirroring the national trend. However, Hispanic Catholics — about 18% of the total group of Catholic voters — are overwhelmingly likely to support Obama over Romney, while a majority of non-Hispanic white Catholics support Romney.

Catholics constitute almost one in four voters in the U.S. today. Did Obama really want to upset that voting block? Also, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have not relented on the issue of the HHS mandate, and have been so provoked by Obama that they will be openly campaigning against Obama. Fear not Barack Obama, you seem to have a leg up with the heathen vote.

Religious White Catholics Support Romney; the Nonreligious, Obama

Non-Hispanic white Catholics themselves, who make up 75% of all Catholic registered voters, are far from monolithic in their vote choice. As a general rule in today’s political world, the more religious the American, the more likely he or she is to be a Republican and vote for Republican candidates. This rule of thumb is evident among white Catholic voters. Among non-Hispanic white Catholics whom Gallup categorizes as “very religious” or “moderately religious,” Romney wins over Obama by 30- and 22-point margins, respectively. Among nonreligious Catholics, Obama wins by 54% to 40%.

Gallup: Romney Leads Obama in First Tracking Poll … Mitt Says for the Obama’s to Start Packing

ROMNEY TO OBAMA’s, “START PACKING” …

Isn’t this interesting, presumptive GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney leads Barack Obama in the first Gallup 2012 Presidential tracking poll, 47% to 45%. The though by many pundits was that Romney was going to be damaged goods coming out of the bitterly fought GOP Presidential primaries. That appears not to be the case. Although this is early polling, it is hardly a good thing for Obama’s reelection bid to be even or behind Romney. Another important nugget from this Gallup poll is that Romney leads Obama by 6 points with Independents.

The race breaks down into the expected patterns by party, with 90% of Democrats supporting Obama, and 90% of Republicans supporting Romney. The Republican results show that despite the rancor and divisiveness of the Republican campaign, the vast majority of Republicans are backing Romney in the head-to-head battle with Obama, as they have in ballot tests earlier this year.

The crucial voting bloc of independents breaks toward Romney by 45% to 39%, giving the GOP challenger his slight overall edge.

According to this Gallup poll, a greater percentage of registered Republicans say that they will vote in the 2012 election as opposed to Democrats. The 4% advantage along with the lead with Independents might just give Romney the chance to tell Barack Obama to “start packing”.

With the surprising Gallup poll numbers, Obama’s MSM minions felt the need to promote polls that embrace Obama by wide margins. RCP has the average of early polling between Obama and Romney. Sorry, but the polls I generally have trust in with proven track records are Rasmussen, Gallup, Fox News. When election day comes people will ask themselves if they can afford another 4 years of Obama’s “incredibly effective” economic policies or whether they think Obama is an “unmitigated disaster”.

Gallup Says Unemployment Rate Will Tick Upwards for February to 8.6% … Economy Getting Better?

Gallup survey indicates that unemployment will rise to 8.6% adjusted, 9.1% without seasonal adjustment.  This would hardly indicate a jobs/economy improving even though Barack Obama, his minions and the MSM will spin it as so.

Gallup finds U.S. unemployment, as measured without seasonal adjustment, to be 9.1% in February, based on almost 30,000 interviews with a random sample of Americans. When Gallup applies the 0.5-percentage-point seasonal adjustment that the government applied to its unadjusted data for February last year, it produces an adjusted unemployment rate for February 2012 of 8.6% — a substantial increase from the 8.3% adjusted rate the government reported for January.

A the American Thinker reminds us, with so many Americans discouraged about finding work that the BLS isn’t even counting,  once those people start to filter back into the job market, the rate of unemployment is bound to rise.  This is going to occur right in the midst of a Presidential election, where it will look fool-hearty for Obama to claim credit for an improving economy when so many millions of Americans are out of work.

USA Today/Gallup Poll: A Majority of Americans Say Obama’s Presidency Has Been a Failure and Far Too Liberal

From USA Today comes a USA Today/Gallup poll that shows that a majority of Americans believe that Barack Obama’s Presidency has been a failure and that he is too liberal. America, if you think he is too liberal now, imagine what Obama will be like if he wins a second term and has nothing like reelection to stand in the way of his agenda?

Dissatisfaction with Obama’s economic leadership “has continued to be a weight on his shoulders even as people are becoming a bit more optimistic,” says Charles Franklin, a political scientist and director of a polling project at Marquette Law School in Milwaukee. “He still has a case to make to the public that their optimism for the future is the way they should judge him, rather than the slowness of the recovery that we’ve been experiencing.”

On Obama: Americans are more likely to say his presidency has been a failure than a success, 50%-44%. His favorable rating is 50%, higher than the GOP presidential contenders but lower than every nominee in the past five presidential contests at this point except Republican Bob Dole, who lost in 1996. A 51% majority say Obama is too liberal, and Americans are inclined to say they disagree with him on the issues that matter most to them. On the positive side, 58% say he has the personality and leadership qualities a president should have.

I guess these folks would be considered racists and clinging to their Bibles and guns by the MSM and Team Obama.
