We already know that in a three-way race, Obama’s at the bottom. Probably in a four-way, five-way, or six-way race too. I was sparing your guy further embarrassment.
Obama beat Clinton and Romney by playing the game better for a short period of time. Big difference between getting motivated enough to play the short game of winning an election(barely in both cases), and the 8-year slog of governing, which he seems kinda bored with.
Big difference between polls that aren’t associated with an actual election, and actual elections.
In elections, politicians run campaigns, which tend to sway polls.
We do? Who says so?
Whence this sudden faith in polls?
Whence this sudden lack of faith? Does it surprise you that a President with the same approval rating as Bush had at this stage of his Presidency would not do so well in head to head polls?
LOL! We have plenty of faith in Obama. But lest the election and reality remind you yet again, liberal “bias” is really just reality. When a liberal says a poll is wrong, its wrong. When its a conservative saying it, don’t believe him. That’s just the truth
Huh? Polls about fantasy matchups don’t actually tell us anything about anything. Just fluff.
True, they just reaffirm what we already know from the daily tracking polls on approval. Doesn’t matter what kind of demographic advantage you think you have, Presidents with low approval ratings don’t get reelected. Or candidates for that matter.
Of course, the poll still shows we’ve got a lot of work to do to beat Hillary. One thing that will make that easier is giving Obama a prominent speaking slot at the convention.
I’m asking you, pal. You spent all of 2012 telling us that polls were not to be trusted. Now, all of a sudden, you’re telling us that polls are to be trusted. Why?
This president isn’t trying to get re-elected. I doubt anyone in the administration is happy with low approval numbers, but there’s no eye on “four more years” here. Better numbers as the mid-term looms would be swell, but red states will stay red and blue states will stay blue, and congress will stay ineffective no matter what those approval ratings are.
Elect a better congress, America, and you’ll get a better bit of presiding from your president.
What does this have to do anything? You don’t have to post every bit of nonsense that comes into your head.
I look forward to seeing the Republicans give Obama a speaking slot at their convention. That ought to work out well!
If the Democrats won’t, someone has to make sure this guy gets to a microphone at the right time. Unlike Bush, who knows he has to shut up to keep from hurting his own party, Obama’s ego will never allow him to take a back seat.
Did you get this from Fox News’ own Keith Ablow, or did you come up with this psychoanalysis yourself?
Unfortunately, that won’t stop him from posting nonsense swiped from FoxNews’ talking points.
Actually, this is the break the Romney campaign has been waiting for:
Your lifelong reputation is more important than winning an election. McCain and Romney will be able to hold their heads high 20 years from now, while Obama will be, well, Jimmy Carter, minus the post-Presidential usefulness.
**President Obama thumped Mitt Romney in the 2012 election, but now their political standings seem reversed. During a summer in which Democratic candidates are keeping their distance from an unpopular president, Romney is emerging as one of the Republican Party’s most in-demand campaign surrogates.
Over three days in mid-August, Romney will campaign for GOP Senate and gubernatorial candidates in West Virginia, North Carolina and Arkansas, aides said. In September, he is planning visits to the presidential swing states of Colorado and Virginia.
Romney is filling up his October schedule, as well. Senate hopefuls in Iowa and New Hampshire are eager for him to return before November’s midterms, while Romney is weighing trips to other Senate battlegrounds. At least one high-profile Senate campaign said it has produced a television advertisement featuring Romney ready to air in the fall.
“Democrats don’t want to be associated with Barack Obama right now, but Republicans are dying to be associated with Mitt Romney,” said Spencer Zwick, a longtime Romney confidant who chaired his national finance council. He added: “Candidates, campaigns and donors in competitive races are calling saying, ‘Can we get Mitt here?’ They say, ‘We’ve looked at the polling, and Mitt Romney moves the needle for us.’ That’s somewhat unexpected for someone who lost the election.”**
Are you actually Romney? because i can’t imagine any other person in the world actually saying this and meaning it. Actually Romney wouldn’t really mean it either, he would just tell himself that to feel better.
The next US President, regardless of political party, will probably be branded “the worst ever,” too. And the next. And the next.
Recency bias.
I can’t speak for Romney’s feelings on the issue, but Romney is certainly the more popular figure these days. He has a long career in business in government that established a record of competence. Obama has a short career in government that has a established a record of incompetence, along with a hefty dose of dishonesty. His current unpopularity is going to seem like the good times compared to how he’ll be viewed this time two years from now.
Yeah I’m sure Romney values being popular over getting to be the president of the United States of America. This is pretty ridiculous even for you buddy.
The nice thing about being popular is that he can try again if it suits his fancy. That’s the nice thing about voters thinking maybe they made a mistake. It might seem unlikely, but I’ve never seen a losing candidate spend so much time on the campaign trail helping his party. I wonder if Barack Obama will ever be seen with a vulnerable Congressional candidate in his lifetime.
Maybe he’ll be lucky enough to lose again. That would totally boost his lifetime reputation off the charts!
And if he loses a third time in 2020 - get that fifth spot on Mt. Rushmore ready!
