Presidant Obama's appeal with the middle class is slipping

[pjohns]

President Obama is now doing poorly among middle-class voters, although he continues to do well among those voters who help comprise the underclass.

Here is a bit from a recent article on the subject:

"Earlier this week, Gallup released a summary of its polling results for mid-May onward which pegged the presidential race as a 46-46 dead heat. The numbers beneath the numbers showed that Mitt Romney holds roughly a 4-point lead among middle income voters, a 4-point lead among the upper middle income voters ($90,000-$179,999) and an 11-point lead among those with incomes exceeding $180,000. Middle and upper-income America is beginning to wave goodbye to the president. His appeal to middle-class voters is falling flat.

"Among white voters, the numbers are even starker. The president is trailing by 19 points among middle-income whites and is down by 14 points among higher income whites. The world has changed since 2008. Then, Obama tied among voters with incomes above $100,000 and actually won those making over $200,000."

This is simple. Only one president has been reelected when the economy was as bad as it is now- that is FDR. Obama is fighting uphill. He cannot win. He can only hope that the GOP throws the race. Which is entirely possible.

As long as the GOP doesn't mess up, Obama has lost many independent voters. I think this will also play a big part in the election.

like I have said before.. as long as Romney doesn't shoot his own foot off he can and will defeat Obama,

[wingrider]

Romneys message should be simple,,

are you better off than you were 4 years ago?, and keep driving the point home..

[roadmaster]

Right the left can't even defend Obama except a lame comeback saying "how do we know Romney will be better". They have nothing to go on. The economy has gotten a lot worse under Obama more than most expected. Why people even think of listening to them is beyond comprehensive.

Romney's better off now than he was four years ago. :wink:

Also Romney needs to re-loop what Obama said about the SCOTUS.....trying to use the Bully Pulpit against SCOTUS being a Constitutional Attorney is a slap in the face of Every American out there.

He also needs to loop all those Red Carpet Affairs.....uhm I mean Elite Dinners erm I mean Fundraisers for 35-40k a pop. :grin:

I'm not too worried; if this was late September, then I'd be concerned (if the figures are really accurate) a lot can happen between now and election time for both sides.

Obama is so destructive. He needs to be fired.
Hurry NOvember.
