Obama Enthusiasm Remains Low Among Democrats

A new CBS/New York Times poll that gives Mitt Romney a 1-point advantage over President Barack Obama also displays some concerning numbers for the president and his re-election chances.


First, the enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans when compared to 2008 gives Romney a distinct advantage in potential turnout. Only 27 percent of Democrats say they are more excited than 2008 to vote in this election. That compares with an insurgence of Republican enthusiasm — an astounding 49 percent of Republicans are more enthusiastic.

Ok. He has the health care thing, which most Americans don't like. But even the Democrats are weary of "it's not my fault, it's George Bush's fault" crap AFTER 4 YEARS! Unemployment, taxes, deficit, scandals, corruption, cover-ups of crime and his own personal history, appointment of "czars" (to avoid congressional approval of appointees), 16 vacations around the world by his family (at taxpayer expense), golf and more golf, demonstrable lack of understanding of the Constitution (from a supposed Constitutional scholar)...the list of his buffonery, incompetence, inexperience, and outright failure has begun to disgust and disappoint many Democrats, too. Bowing (!) to foreign leaders? Telling us how much Muslims have contributed to American history (!!). His extended family are welfare cheats, illegal immigrants, criminals, and drunks. He's so stupid he dare not release his college records, lest his stupidity be solidly confirmed. He has failed to deliver on all the glowing promises made to the people and he wants us to think another 4 years will save us all. I won't say his supporters need their IQ checked, but....ok, I will say it. Emphatically.

I believe good democrats are beginning to realize the Marxist Obama does not represent them.
In fact the Socialists have corrupted the party!
Time to rescue America!

I don't believe any of the polls. I travel to many different parts of this country regularly and I hear what people think about Obama. I think this election will be a landslide like no other, and Obama will be going home to Kenya next January.
