See the Surprising Poll That Has Romney Leading in a Key Demographic

Sep. 24, 2012 12:40pm Mytheos Holt

Since last week’s release of a series of YouTube videos showing remarks by GOP nominee Mitt Romney behind closed doors at a spring fundraiser, the mainstream media’s favorite meme (as well as the narrative advanced by the Obama campaign) has been the accusation that former Governor Romney is out of touch with the middle class in America.

If that’s true, the middle class apparently hasn’t noticed. A recent poll conducted jointly by George Washington University and Politico reveals that middle class families not only don’t view Romney as an enemy, but actually favor him for president by an astonishing 14 points. From the analysis by the poll’s authors:

The past several weeks have been filled with news stories, editorials and columns heaping criticism on the tactics and strategy of the Romney campaign. Many of these opinion pieces even suggested that Romney’s only hope for winning is to make substantial changes to his campaign. Much of this analysis is based on the premise that Romney is out of touch and has not been making an affirmative case to middle-class voters. His comments at a private fundraiser in May were pointed to as an illustration that he could never identify with and win the support of many middle-class voters. We took a special look at middle-class voters, and middle-class families in particular, in this latest POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll and found that not to be the case. In fact, on every measure it is Romney who is winning the battle for the support of middle-class families.

Overall, Obama leads Romney by just 3 points on the ballot (50 percent to 47 percent) – which before we rounded up, is actually a 2.6 point lead and only up a half-a-percentage point from the 2.1 point lead for Obama in our last Battleground poll in early August. In our latest POLITICO-George Washington University Battleground Poll with middle-class families, which comprise about 54 percent of the total American electorate and usually split in their vote behavior between Republicans and Democrats, Romney holds a 14-point advantage (55 percent to 41 percent). Middle-class families are more inclined to believe the country is on the wrong track (34 percent right direction, 62 percent wrong track), are more likely to hold an unfavorable view of Obama (48 percent favorable, 51 percent unfavorable), and hold a more favorable view of Romney (51 percent favorable, 44 percent unfavorable) and Paul Ryan (46 percent favorable, 35 percent unfavorable) than the overall electorate. These middle-class families also hold a majority disapproval rating on the job Obama is doing as president (45 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove), and turn even more negative toward Obama on specific areas; the economy 56 percent disapprove; spending 61 percent disapprove; taxes, 53 percent disapprove; Medicare 48 percent disapprove; and even foreign policy 50 percent disapprove.

Romney, by contrast, leads President Obama among middle class families not only in absolute terms, but also on issues. On every issue except one — ironically enough, the question of who would “stand up” for the middle class — Romney leads the president, in some cases by as many as 9 points (as he does on the economy). This juxtaposition suggests that the middle class trusts the President to fight for them, but don’t necessarily think he would win that fight, or prosecute it successfully.

Romney also attracts 40 percent support from the Hispanic community – a relatively high number for a Republican – and leads Hispanic men by even wider margins. And for those who are worried that this election is becoming too much about Romney and not enough about Obama, there is some very good news as well:

Presidential reelection races are almost always about the incumbent and whether or not they should be given an additional four years in office. This race looks to be no different. There is no sign of any good economic news on the horizon and two-thirds of the American electorate is focused on pocketbook issues as their top concern. Fifty-seven percent of these voters disapprove of the job the president is doing on the economy, 62 percent disapprove in his handling of the budget and federal spending, and 54 percent believe that Romney would be better at job creation. Yes, Romney has the issue advantage with these pocketbook-focused voters, and is winning their support by 53 percent to Obama’s 44 percent.

One note of caution: The poll does show the president leading overall among likely voters, though by a scant 2.6 point margin, which is within the 3.1% margin of error. This is most likely due to a 2 point lead among independents generally — a deficit which is not impossible for Romney to make up with a few good performances in the debates.

What bothers me most about all these polls are “the undecideds” and how big a role they will play in the elections. If you don’t know who you are going to vote for by now then you are an unprincipled polictical moron and you should stay as far away from a voting booth as you can.

  Not to worry, they think, their workers will vote for them. They have their information and will see they get voted, and of course it will be for Obama. Those states where are not forcing the issue for voter IDs are possibly being run by those who are pro-Obama.

  Wow, “Magic Underpants”. Is that the best you can do? The country is headed off a cliff and the best you can come up with is lame, stale, Anti Mormon bigotry? It would be one thing if you had come up with something original like, “Mormons want to cook and eat black babies,” or “Mitt Romney is going to have the Mormon Prophet move into the White House so he can have his palm read every morning.” Something new, exiting. You had the whole world at your finger tips and the best you can come up with is ….magic underpants? Pathetic, weak, unoriginal. Oh wait, you are a moron. Well done!! Gold star for you!! You spelled everything correctly!! Major accomplishment.

  Your vote should be personal and your business. So why should people tell strangers, who telephone them wanting to know whom they will be voting for? Instead of saying none of your business, they politely say I haven’t decided yet.
  So that is why, there are so many Undecided voters because it is none of the political polls business, which politician they are going to vote for… Very simple and I am positive they know already for whom they will vote but again that is their private business….

  PRAISE THE LORD, we must ALL vote for Romney and Ryan. I’m sick and tired of this marxist/prez. who wants to squash us poor/middle class people. And that’s his intent. If he can keep us poor and needy, we’ll follow his rules, and believe me, his rules is to put us all back on the plantation; while keeping his wifie in expensive clothing ($7,000 blouse) and lots of travel at our expense while telling us lies. If this is what you stupid people want, more power to you, I want off the plantation to take care of myself with my own efforts.
  What that woman spends on a blouse would feed my family for over a year, carefully shopping. So don’t tell me that man isn’t using us. We’re dumb to take it.

47% favorable for Obama is still too much for me, how can anyone approve (45%) of his job, when every single thing in this country is going in the wrong direction, prices of everything are going up by the month. The Middle East is a mess, our national debt is 16 trillion with a T, and our outstanding obligations are like 100 trillion, ss is going broke etc. etc.
So what I am saying is, that this is all a result of letting the Federal government into our EDUCATION, and as long as we don’t fix that, and in my opinion close the whole Department of Education nothing will help, we will still be on course of decline, and it will just come a day when only 20% will understand the greatness of the our constitution, which is anyway being ignored and no one even cares.
I can’t stress it enough AS LONG AS WE DON’T TAKE THE EDUCATION SYSTME OUT OF THE HANDS OF BEUROCRATS nothing will help, only more and more people will think that redistribution is a good idea. And the polls prove me right.

  Nothing will keep us from voting for this guy to go back to Chicago where he belongs. Its not that Romney is perfect, he doesn’t have to be perfect. No president has been perfect, just like none of us is perfect. Personally, I would vote for the Quizno sock puppet if it meant getting Obama out of our house. His politics of dividing us, blatent racism that has set back race relations, cronyism, complete disregard for oposing views and completely shutting out anyone who disagrees with him. He is a bully and he has got to go, so we can put that all behind us and come back together for the common good of this nation.

This will be their M.O. for the next month and a half. The goal is to discourage Romney voters through endless distractions about how out of touch Romney is and through polls that show Obama leading by 5000 points. Will we fall for it? Hell no!

People have been having to work, and have had their families dumbed down so bad they have no time to help teach or correct inaccuracies. The left slid in and started to control schools and curriculums. They are having you pay to indoctrinate your child into leftist ideals. This should be stopped. The U.S. Department needs closing down and restructuring. There should be enforced laws against politicing in schools or laying the groundwork trying to skirt this law. People have been kept so busy they do not have time to know what those hedonists are do to their children.

People who can write need to invest their time and money into truthful publishing and media. It is time to stop this mess of those liars putting out something to make it look like Obama is well liked. He is not, but some people will vote for someone if they think others are behind him. The Democrat hypocrites know this and are using it to the max.

This reminds me of my world history class professor explaining to the class why Obama is better. Because he understands people better than Romney. He’s been there and struggled. One of the students pointed out that Obama is wealthy as well. Our teacher pointed out that there is different kinds of wealthy. Obama deserves his because he earned it. I pointed out that America is in economic trouble with a staggering unemployment rate. Exactly, how many people has Obama employed while earning that wealth. I don’t mind Romney being THE boss because he’s been a boss. Obama acquired his wealth through the cult of personality. He’s famous because he’s famous. He capitalized on it. Other than that, he’s done jack squat. And it shows. I own property, have a family to support, have run my own business and intend to do so again. Although, if they don’t fix Obama care it will be a one-man operation. Now, of the two candidates, which one understands me?

This is because the middle class is shrinking under the Obama administration. Democrats should not be given a credit card, or a checkbook. They either do not know simple math, or they do not care; likely the latter. Four more years of a Democrat presidency spells disaster!

romney donates more in one day than biden donates in a decade

OBAMA THE BLAMER IS SOOOOOO ONE AND DONE ………..AND KNOWS IT

I know this poll to be true. When I speak to my customers, many think Obama is bad for the economy and the country, but are extremely cautious to say so until they are sure I won’t rip them for it. I would have never thought Americans would be so afraid, but young Moms and Dads are indeed cautious to speak their minds. I think they’ll all speak once they pull the curtain.

  until they realise we’re on the same side.

I can guess that Romney is definately leading in the most important demographic…… those of us who have an actual brain and pay federal income tax.

We whine, we complain, we moan constantly about the totalitarian behavior of the Left. And it is all preaching to the choir. Even given our greatest, or largest in size, outreach, talk radio, we have reached a maximum of maybe 30 million Americans. We are effectively corralled and silenced. Our impact is negligible.

We must break out. THIS CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DONE WITH A PRESIDENT ROMNEY AND THE DC PUBBIES. We are going to have to go big. We must follow the example of our Founders. They too were a small minority. But they won the day by putting it all on the line. So many of our spokesman still think the country can be moved back to the Right and to sanity. Not the way we are presently going.

I used to wonder about Germany in the thirties. How could a whole people go so stark raving mad? It seemed such a mystery. It was a mystery only because I had failed to fully comprehend the awful darkness human society was capable of. I had failed to grasp how tenuous is the human condition. I grew up when American history was still taught and so my wold view was American and based on reason given the assumptions of American Exceptionalism. (odd that spell check here doesn’t believe that word exists) Everything I assumed has now disintegrated. ( cont. )

  The Left has gone completely mad. Sitting down with a real leftist and discussing politics is like banging your head against a stone wall. You don’t make the smallest dent in them and all you get is a headache. They are unreachable. They have completely abandoned reason and logic and have entered the world of religious fervor. They are identical in their mindset to a radical muslim.
  
  In the short time since Ronald Reagan’s presidency we have journeyed as a nation the same distance into madness that the Germans transited in the thirties. The Left owns the media, the bureaucracy, academia and everybody on welfare. They have a near absolute lock on the culture. Even if by some odd chance that Romney wins the election all the above will still be true.
  
  Every tenant of the Declaration of Independence applies to we the Red States and the majority population within same. Our only hope for survival as a free people, to save our Constitution and to avoid abject totalitarian slavery is to secede.

Scott Walker was supposed to lose the race in Wisconsin the polls indicated was a squeaker. He went out at 12 % and won by 8%. Can’t wait for November.

  The answer is in education. Our country use to teach the correct education and critical thinking. Now they only teach liberal white wash. This video was created in , I believe 1951; Please get this video out there so people can learn and remember: Just remember folks.. Everything that is done is all about control. When you look at history and look at today you will see Mountains of control in place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceVBroKj6W4&feature=share&list=UUoraMikfXRAM1iETaLFPEsQ

  Good stuff, GOODSTUFF. However, I wouldn’t label Foxnews as unskewed.
