-16 today.  He hasn't been in the news that much.  Might explain why he's doing as well as he is.

-16 again roughly 2 months later. The post-Christmas employment figures will do some damage in the upcoming months. They are already slipping big time.

They'll do even more damage if a Republican PAC starts running commercials along the lines of "Barack Obama says he's created 1.4M jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there are 1.7M fewer jobs than in Jan 2009. Who do you feel is right? Who's lying, the guy who wants your vote or the guy who has a job regardless of who you vote for?"

Well, because he's done very little but go on campaign fundraising trips. And make videos that celebrate the "Black Americans for Obama" movement.

I'm pretty sure it's a bowel movement, so it's hard to get real excited about Barry taking a dump.

Sunday, March 11:

-19

Quote
For the third consecutive day, Mitt Romney leads President Obama by five points in a hypothetical 2012 matchup. It is still, however, too early to tell if these results reflect a lasting change in the race or are merely statistical noise. Today's numbers show Romney at 48%, Obama at 42%. That matches the largest lead Romney has ever enjoyed over the president.

Quote
Romney’s support among Republican voters has moved up to 83%, just about matching the president’s 84% support among Democrats. However, only six percent (6%) of GOP voters would vote for Obama if Romney is the nominee. Twice as many Democrats (12%) would cross party lines to vote for Romney. The former governor of Massachusetts also has an eight-point advantage among unaffiliated voters. 

Quote
If Rick Santorum is the Republican nominee, he is up by one point over the president, 45% to 44%. He receives 77% support from Republican voters and is up three among unaffiliateds. Santorum and Romney are the only Republican candidates to lead the president more than one time in the polls.

Quote
Santorum and Romney both lead Obama among men but trail among women. Both Republicans trail the president among those under 40 but lead among those 40 and older.

Quote
Looking at Tuesday's upcoming primaries, the GOP race in Alabama is essentially a three-way tie, while Romney leads by eight in Mississippi.  Nationally, Romney now leads Santorum by 12 points.  Regardless of who they want to win, 80% of Republican Primary Voters nationwide believe Romney will be the party's nominee.

Quote
Just 32% have a favorable opinion of House Speaker John Boehner.  Twenty-nine percent (29%) say the same of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. On the Senate side, 27% offer a positive opinion of Mitch McConnell, and 24% view Harry Reid favorably.

Quote
The Rasmussen Employment Index shows worker confidence in the labor market has risen to its highest level since September 2008. Twenty-three percent (23%) of workers report that their employers are hiring, while 20% are still seeing layoffs.

-14 today.  59% say that Obama is more liberal than they are.  76% believe there should be a max tax ceiling of 20%.  That one kind of surprised me.  I don't have a subscription, so I couldn't read further.

No doubt a sampling with 40% Democrats, 40% Independent, 20% Republican.

Hate to tell ya, but if anyone is going to get it halfway right, it's Rasmussen.

I actually can see why so many are (still) supporting Obama.  49.5 percent of the American people pay NO taxes, and they don't seem to know or care that when he doesn't extend the "Bush tax cuts" at the end of this year, EVERYONE is going to start paying a LOT more in taxes.

It's simply a case of, "gimme my free shit" entitlement mentality.

Sorry, I disagree. Look at the poll. Romney vs Obama. We're still in the f'n primary season. Get back with me when we have a candidate that wins the primary.

Then, to add to my post directly above, -18 today.  These are 3-day rolling averages, which probably means today was off-the-cliff!

From today's Ras:

Quote
Voters now have more confidence in presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney than in President Obama when it comes to the economy, but on other major issues facing the nation, the two men continue to run nearly even.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey asks Likely U.S. Voters whom they trust more on five key issues, and when it comes to the economy, 49% say Romney versus 39% who trust the president more. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)


Index stuck in rut at -13.

Anybody still watching this?  They now have, in addition to the index that we've been watching (-18 today), a head-to-head matchup Romney vs. Obama

Today, Romney 47%, king zero 44%.  For the last 6 days, it's been something similar.   :)

I think the margin is greater than 4%. Obummer is going to lose badly because the economy and jobs will be the main issues.

I found this tidbit instructive:

Quote
A president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) at least somewhat disapprove (see trends).

Romney is starting to pull away. He will continue to do so, and will win by a landslide in November.
