Women, white men, Jews, Hispanics ... They all have one thing in common.  

Bam's coalition is imploding: Women, white men, Jews, even Hispanics are abandoning President Obama


President Obama was swept into office by a tidal wave of support from a diverse coalition comprised of white Democrats, women, independents, Hispanics, Jews and African-Americans. Amid the din of "Yes, we can!" chants, it seemed that nothing could bring the history-making President down. But now, with his policies largely unpopular and his inability to goose economic growth increasingly apparent, Obama's once powerful political coalition is imploding.

In the Washington Senate race, Democrat Patty Murray has a slight edge over Dino Rossi. In Pennsylvania, Republican Pat Toomey holds a fairly steady advantage. In the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Balance of Power summary, Washington moves to Leans Democratic and Pennsylvania is now rated a Toss-Up. Overall, Democrats have a 51-44 advantage and five states are Toss-Ups.

Obama Losing Ground with Women

With two wars raging and an economy in turmoil, President Obama took his case to the couch at ABC’s "The View".

When asked why he chose that particular arena, the president joked, “I was trying to find a show that Michelle actually watched.” But it’s not just the First Lady who's tuning in. According to Nielsen Media Research 79% of "The View"’s audience is female, a demographic that’s started to cool on the president.

Fox News/Opinion Dynamics polling shows Mr. Obama averaged a 59% approval rating among women in 2009, but seven months into 2010, that’s dipped 14 points to just 45%. That’s tough news for a party that is used to benefitting from the gender gap, a phenomenon political analyst Larry Sabato says surfaced in the 1980 presidential election. “It exists in almost all elections, ranging from five to eight percentage points,” according to Sabato.

Wait, I missed that statistic when I brought the article over... 79% of The View's audience is female.  Do the other 21% voluntarily watch the show?  Why?

If we're talking straight dudes, that's the only reason I can think of, and even that isn't enough for me.  I'd guess a lot of that male demographic is gay guys, plus a smattering of baked or drunk losers that have roots growing from their asses into the couch and can't find the remote anymore.

A very small portion of men are watching because they work for radio and TV shows that feature clips from such shows, I would guess.

What I want to know is how come Obama knew who Snookie (sp?) was a few months ago but now is clueless?  Some neurological problem?  And if so, is he mentally fit to be CIC?

I'm sure he still has that one locked up, but that demographic is so gosh-darn unreliable about remembering to show up and vote in the first place that it's hard to say what it's really worth.

Yesterday, speaking at a Ford Motor plant, the president pitched the auto industry bailout as an act of patriotism and suggested those who oppose it lack faith in the nation.

However, most voters continue to believe the bailouts were a bad idea.  White House officials are now saying that the federal bailouts indirectly helped Ford. Recently polling shows that Ford remains much more popular than GM or Chrysler, an advantage that first appeared when Ford chose not to accept a bailout.

I don't know what he's done to improve so quickly, as Fox reported either Tuesday or Wednesday, that he only had a 41% approval rate according to Gallup.

It was even on CBS regarding Michelle's trip to Spain. That might not set so well even with the Dems.

The way these numbers are fluctuating, it's like the Dems are polled one day, the Reps the next, Indies the next. The pollsters must have called the "don't give a flying flip" for today's number.... :uhsure:

I suspect this is a little bounce because the gulf spill is no longer on the front page, and team Obama seems happy to take credit for something they really didn't do.

The new employment figures will make this bounce go away soon.
