Obama Showing Strongest Poll Numbers In Months
Posted by Ashish on 02.10.2012
Obama's approval is rising...
President Obama's approval ratings and polling against Mitt Romney are at their best positions in months, probably due to the good jobs report as well as the reality of now comparing him to the Republican candidates.
FOX News, Rasmussen, and Gallup all now have more people approving of Obama's job than disapproving. This is the first time in months that Obama is seeing positive approval in all polls.
Rasmussen also now has him opening up a 10% lead over Romney, 50% to 40%. FOX has Obama up 47% to 42% over Romney.
Gee I wonder why. All GOP had to do was have a half way decent politician and Obama was toast. But his competition is Mitt, Newt and Santorum. Good lord.
All Obama has to say is "killed Osama. Romney is rich and out of touch." But Mitt does have all that cash so he is gonna land some nasty attack ads as well.

And Obama hasn't even taken him head on yet. Romney loves negativity, just wait until Obama's campaign dismantles him. 4 more years!

Obama, arrogant little fucker he is, probably WOULD say that, too. The fact of the matter is a very badass group of elite Navy SEALS killed Osama. Obama just waved the green flag.

I think our president deserves to be re-elected considering he's done a decent job while being resisted and sabatoged more than just about any president in our nation's history. That being said, like someone else said, even those that may have their reservations about Obama--look at his opposition. They done such a good job attacking one another and pointing out the flaws and wrongdoings on the GOP side that Obama shouldnt have to.

Lol at the first comment. It wouldn't matter if the GOP had found the ghost of Abraham Lincoln to run, nobody they could have offered could have beat Obama this year. No one. Seriously, find me one Republican politician who could've realistically beaten Obama. You can't. He doesn't exist.

What if Ron Paul succeeds in his attempt to "steal" the Republican nomination? His campaign claims to have won well over a majority of delegates to the convention in Minnesota and to have done well above their straw poll results in the other caucuses. Yes, the caucus "votes" that you see reported as news are meaningless show votes and what really matters is the delegates (and Paul supporters are tricking the Newton Mitt Santorum voters into electing them as delegates).
By the way, Newton Mitt Santorum works because Gingrich's first name is actually Newton, Romney's first name is actually Willard (Mitt is his middle name) and Santorum's last name is Santorum.
After the events of the last week, I no longer believe that Mitt Romney will be the Republican nominee. I think we're probably headed for a brokered convention, with a slight chance of either a narrow Paul or Romney victory. Gingrich and Santorum cannot win a majority of delegates due to their inability to nominate a full slate of delegates and get on the ballot in every state. If Paul is within striking distance of a majority on the first ballot, I would expect him to win on the 2nd ballot as his campaign will undoubtedly place many of their supporters at the convention as pledged delegates for the other 3 candidates. Gingrich or Santorum could win, but only if they end up with a combined majority of delegates and make some sort of deal.
If Ron Paul pulls off a victory of this sort, it would be only fitting as something very similar happened 60 years ago when Robert Taft (the Ron Paul of his time and the frontrunner in 1952) had the nomination "stolen" from him by the "Stop Taft" movement, which nominated the moderate Dwight Eisenhower. Although this never made it into the history books and is mostly forgotten today (the "Old Right" that supported Taft did poorly at the time among the younger generation, so the movement died out shortly thereafter), it did happen.

If you pieces of shit elect another Democrat or Republican whose name isn't Ron Paul we'll need to change "America the Beautiful" to "America the Retarded". You fucking cocksuckers. I can't stress "fuck all of you" enough. Die screaming.

Arrogant? You're so fucking in the bubble.
OK, case study. State of the Union. Hours before, Obama has a seal team rescue hostages from Somali pirates, and doesn't even mention it in the speech. Likewise, the seals killed Osama bin Laden right before the Whitehouse Correspondants Dinner, and he didn't say a word.
Really, the last guy would have had the biggest shit eating grin on his face and announced it like he had just scored a touchdown. The last guy landed on a air carrier and declared mission accomplished in Iraq in 2003, and you think Obama is arrogant?
So far in the fucking bubble...

Reasons why Obama shouldn't be re-elected:
1. He has not, does not, and can not lead Congress. Four more years of infighting will only weaken our country further.
2. He has taken our national debt from 10 trillion to 15 trillion in 3 short years and shows no signs of slowing down.
3. His respect of civil liberties goes as far as his constituents and special interest groups. Everyone else is first told to suck his dick, then second told that he was right, but if they're going to get upset about it, then he won't do it. Which leads to...
4. When he's not running for re-election, he won't change his mind, they can just suck his dick.

Fake economy numbers probably have something to do with it. They say unemployment is at 8%, when it's really 16%.
btw, American tax payer money pays for abortions in Kenya thhanks to Obama. Look it up.

The GOP is a mess. Romney and Gingrich are awful candidates that are only there because they are assholes, and right now the GOP's most vocal proponents are all assholes that buy the retarded party line.
Ron Paul is a great candidate but the GOP has marginalized him because of arrogance. Santorum is very inconsistent and sort of aligns with Gingrich/Romney but people know less about him so for now he is a tad ahead of those dumbasses.
If Romney wins, Obama doesn't even have to campaign, he just auto-wins. Sure, the GOP fanatics that actually thought Obama wasn't born in the US will vote for whatever Republican candidate gets the nomination, but despite how vocal they are, it's been proven they are still a minority. That's why the GOP is a mess, they listen to the vocal minority.
Wall St. LOVES Obama because he does everything for them and doesn't give a shit about the middle class, but the middle class is too stupid to figure that out. Why throw in with Romney who might actually either piss the American Public off or put limits on Wall St's corruption since he actually knows how they work, since he is one of them?

You've really intelligently made your case.
And RonPaulogists wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

Horrible Republican field. To the person who asked, Rubio and Christie would have both had a great shot to defeat the President based on his record. Also, to the person who mentioned the opposition that he's faced; he had a democratic congress when he took office, he wasted it trying to get a ridiculous/unconstitutional health care plan passed instead of working on our economy.
The electoral college still doesn't look good for the President. He struggles in many of the swing states. Also, once the Republicans (Romney will be the nominee) set their sights on his horrible record (actually no accomplishments to speak of) instead of each other there is a chance they can pull him back to the pack. If he does win, he will be without a doubt the worst two term president in our nation's history.

Just bad timing for Obama. I feel he is a good man, an honorable man. He's just too inexperienced to lead us through the problems we have. Our deficit is out of control. We need to start making whole sale cuts to our spending across the board. We need to cut military spending, get rid of non essential social programs (ie cell phones for people on assistance).
The only candidate on either side of the isle that makes a bit of sense is Ron Paul. But the GOP doesn't have the balls to elect him, thus the man who can't seem to say "no" will be re-elected, and we will suffer for another 4 years with unemployment at near 10% and deficit spending out of control.

1. That sounds like a reason to fire congress, not fire Obama. Particularly the whinging Republicans who use the fillibuster because they don't give a fuck about Democracy.
2. George Bush took it from a surplus, and a lot of that debt was an agreement made to save the banks and the automobile BY BUSH. And at the same time... Republicans refuse any sort of tax increase, even on the very rich.
3. You have us there.
4. What the fuck was that comment? You starting your own slash fiction section with yourself as the Mary Sue?
Now, two reasons to vote for Obama.
1) Because none of the Republicans would make a jack shit of difference to those issues. The debt? Civil Liberties? You fail to remember that these things are a problem BECAUSE of the Republicans.
2) The Supreme Court, because last time a Republican got to appoint the supreme court, they put Alito and Roberts on the court... the times before that we got Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas. You know, the five assholes that think Corporations are people.

I did look it up. You're full of shit.
Currently, the US disallows funding for anything that includes abortion... even when the mothers life is in danger... even when a result of rape or incest.
Yeah, Obama repealed the anti-abortion rules that were so extreme even most pro-lifers balk, and he repealed it for all foreign assistance, not just Kenya (yeah, try that one again, bigot).
So yeah, full of shit.

I thought Obama got elected because of all the black people -- like Colin Powell -- who only voted for Obama because of his skin color?
Oh well. Either way, it is better than picking a candidate based on religious beliefs.

No you forget Obama got elected for the following reasons:
Black people voting for color
White guilt over slavery
Acorn
Voter Fraud
The liberal medias assault on Palin
It's never because the majority of the country thinks the republicans are WRONG...no, no, it's always some conspiracy because they can never be wrong...EVER!

these guys are floundering and none of them have actually stood next to president Obama yet. None of these guys, not even gingrich, are anywhere near capable of debated President Obama. He'll make any of them look children trying to sit at the grown ups table in a presidential debate.
