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:

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:

What will the DUchebags say when Obumbler goes down like Carter in 1980?
-
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....
-
LMAO! A Daily Kos poll as a legitimate poll source...Just fire a Pravda poll up there next time, DUmmy.

Who the heck is Research 2000?
-
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.
-

Subsidiary of DailyKos.

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:

Idaho is in the south? Whoda thunk?

Gerrymandering democrats drew the lines....the same ones that will do so after the census.

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.

You know something, when Civil War II starts, I believe the South stands a chance of winning this time....I know we'll kill more yankees than last time..... :-)

I'm so frustrated with these asshats, there are days I'm actually looking forward to it.

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.

Nah, I believe one of them was French.

What will the DUchebags say when Obumbler goes down like Carter in 1980?
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.
-
It is a shame to see that the LA Times is in on this racist plot. :-)
Obama's job approval rating falls to new low
The president slips to 50% in the Gallup Poll, reaching that point more quickly than most of his predecessors did.

Without counting the South.. that's funny. Almost as funny as Keef claiming that his show is number one... if you discount all Fox viewers. lol

Let's do a poll in which the top 20 liberal shitholes are ignored, starting with Chicago, New York City, LA, etc.
