Without counting the south Obama would be flying high in the polls
   
This is just from the Research 2000 poll showing Obama down to 55% positive 40% negative job rating.

But look at the regional breakdown:

NORTHEAST 81 13 6
SOUTH 27 68 5
MIDWEST 62 33 5
WEST 60 36 4

In the NE Obama has an amazing 81% approval rating. Solid numbers in both the MW and West, but look at the South! 27% approval rating and 68% disapproval. With numbers like that Obama probably is in trouble in the southern states he carried last year: Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. But should be in good shape in the other states he carried in the rest of the country.

Other than that seniors are a major problem:

18-29 78 18 4
30-44 45 48 7
45-59 61 34 5
60+ 43 54 3

Only 43% approval among 60+ and the problem with that is they are the group most inclined to vote in off year elections--much more than Obama's strong 18-29 year old base.

On the other hand Congressional Republicans are faring worse than anybody, look at there pathetic numbers:

CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS
FAV UNFAV NO OPINION
ALL 14 73 13
MEN 21 67 12
WOMEN 7 79 14
DEM 5 92 3
REP 42 33 25
IND 8 79 13
OTH/REF 9 74 17
NON VOTERS 6 81 13
WHITE 17 67 16
BLACK 3 94 3
LATINO 7 84 9
OTHER/REF 5 85 10
18-29 7 86 7
30-44 21 60 19
45-59 12 80 8
60+ 13 71 16
NORTHEAST 6 88 6
SOUTH 28 50 22
MIDWEST 9 81 10
WEST 10 78 12

Yeah too bad for you the south does count  :whatever:
So what this DUmmy is claiming is Obama would be flying in the polls if it just wasn't for those pesky people who dissaprove of him.

2. Seniors are more likely to only watch TV and not be on the internet
   
and therefore more likely to succumb to Faux propaganda.

The South? There is still so much racism here it makes me sick.

Yep fox news and racism  :whatever:

4. Now if he'd only figure it out for himself, he doesn't have to count the South.
   
Well, he is the President of all the people, but that doesn't mean that he has to coddle to the idiots and if they have compacted themselves into a single region, so much the better.

The only idiots getting coddled are you dump monkeys. You actually think you will be getting free healthcare.  :lmao:

Does ThomWV realize that West Virginia went for McCain, by a WIDE margin.

Could be all those racist rednecks that live there....
Or it could be that their senior senator has/had Klan ties....
Or it could be that all those racist rednecks that live there are not as stupid as you'd like for them to be....

Has to do with the South being more conservative and more individualistic, I.e. not wanting the damn government controlling every aspect of our lives, you DUmbasses. It has not a damn thing to do with Damn racism. Were any other f'n liberals kicking ass in the South in the past?

I'm f'n sick of this argument.

Research 2000 isn't a reliable pollster.  The guy who runs it is as left-wing loon as you can get.  The site runs polls for the DKos freaks all the time.  I have no doubt Dear Leader's numbers are lower in the South than anywhere else, but 80% in the NE and 60% in the Midwest and West?  Yeah, high concentration of urbanites especially in the NE, but in the Midwest and West the ratio of urban to non-urban isn't that much different than the South.

I think they made up those numbers out of whole cloth.  Ras has the generic congressional question at GOP leading the Dems by 5 points for the last 9 weeks.  It's not like an anomaly.

I find it funny that even if the manipulate the numbers they still can't give Obama good numbers so they invent some stupid excuse.
Hell if it weren't for liberals John McCain would be POTUS not the jug eared kenyan so using their logic we really won.  :lmao:

It's south of Canada, so, if we just expand our definition of the South, we can include it in the numbers.  Really, you need to remember, the Liberals are nuanced individuals, there are lots of shades of grey.

You have to admit, if it were not for those 60% who cannot stand him, Barrack Obomo would have 100% approval.

Were it not for the South, we would be in Lurch's first term, after 8 years of Algore.

It would be a disaster, but at least they're both American.

They will say the election was stolen.  They will say Rove just let the dems have a term to throw everyone off the trail.

They will say that everyone who voted against Obama is a racist.

They will say they are ashamed to be American and they are moving to Canada/Venezuela/France/Cuba/China..

You know .. all the things they say every time a dem loses.
