Study: Obama Losing Voters More Than Republicans

In 2008, Barack Obama persuaded liberals, independents, and even some conservatives to come to his side. His winning coalition cut across all demographic lines and spoke of a realignment of the country’s voters. Liberal pundits celebrated and proclaimed the beginning of a new liberal era built on this seemingly unbreakable new coalition.

Four years later, that coalition is already chipped, and disintegrating quickly. Yahoo News reports:

A survey of registered voters conducted July 23-29 found that 92 percent of Americans who voted for McCain in 2008 plan to vote for Romney this fall and just 5 percent have switched sides to support Obama. But among Obama’s 2008 supporters, just 86 percent are planning to do so again and 9 percent are switching their support to Romney.

Overall 11 percent of voters who say they cast ballots for Obama or McCain are supporting the other party’s candidate.

To some extent, this is to be expected. Obama had a tenuous coalition in the first place. The big question, however, is whether this enthusiasm gap will be enough to make a different in the outcome.

Be careful not to let one bite you, it could result in a nasty case of Paulitis, a brain numbing disease that presents with dis-associative behavior and foaming of the mouth.

      Why is there a nation wide delusion still being foisted on an uneducated public? National election for president? The electoral college chooses the president and the electoral college consists of 538 people and it takes 270 of those people to choose the president!!
      That’s it! The so called national election for president is a massive waste of time, money and effort!
      The national presidential election is an ILLUSION, it’s a feel good participation trophy moment, voters don’t choose the president! EVERYONE in politics knows this. We see these polls, they are just so much drivel and it sickens me that the media perpetuates this FRAUD!

      DesertSpeaks, The media is part of it. Why do you think they all; Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC can all project the winner, right after the polls close with less than 1% of the vote, based on the same poll, from the same company, for every MSM station? This has been happening for quite some time and it is impossible! They can even give you the run down on the different factions and ethnicity difference in the vote!! The vote is rigged and that is how Romney is the presumptive nominee even though he leans so far left he is about to fall over!!. The caucuses and state conventions were harder to do this, so the RNC and Romney campaign violated federal law and party rules to keep Paul from delegate seats. Shameful. The most shameful thing is, all you Republicans are either blind or you believe criminal activity in your party is honorable. What is it? How can any of you sleep at night, knowing that you condone criminal activity, especially when it is your children and grandchildren that will suffer from it? I will never understand the lack of spine the Republican Party has in this day and age. It sickens me.

      Yes, I do suppose there are not many AMERICANS, especially those of us who dove under our desks for fear of the COMMIES or REDS taking over, who are very pleased with this Thoughtless, Arrogant, Insensitive LIAR in CHIEF. I mean, What did he say in his First Campaign that was true. He’s NEVER
      been the PRESIDENT of ALL AMERICANS…in fact, whatever he said, he not only did the OPPOSITE but the EXTREME, and I do mean EXTREME, opposite. He had no respect for us, he called us clingers to our Bible and our Guns (right) but like it was a bad thing. YOU KNOW WHY WE HAVE the 2nd AMENDMENT? Not so we can go ‘a-hunting’ but so no Army, FOREIGN or DOMESTIC can push us around. IF we aren’t armed then they can. No one likes to admit that, but it’s time we did. Because an ARMED COP was on the scene quickly those innocent people were spared more deaths.
      HERE’S WHAT WE ALL NEED TO SAY: ONLY COWARDS would shoot an unarmed person or child or woman or group of people. You don’t get fame, you get disgust for eternity. IF you want to go out as a COWARD, a gutless, spineless, COWARD then there is nothing we can do. LIFE is NOT perfect, and if it doesn’t suit you, YOU need to figure out why. AND you need to start with YOU.
      Obama will be getting a more clear picture and then he’ll have about 50 years to live with how much he blew….he’ll never get it back. We are going to make sure of that. MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE and get 2 more people each! GBAMERICA!

      @DesertSpeaks and those that like to quote all the conspiracy nutjobs and say how the GOP and the MSM are in on fixing the election for whom they like…I would expect a Ron Paul toadmonkey to actually practice what they preach about the Constitution.. which set up the Electoral College system…
      The Electoral College system was a device created by the Founders and set down in the Constitution to AVOID the Democratic MOB mentality that our Founders HATED!! and DESPISED as the DOWNFALL of self governance of Man into tyranny and oppression….They KNEW that if left to the every changing opinion and will of the masses, the President could EASILY become a monarch or dictator with unlimited power….They also KNEW that different nation States would have different goals and those States’ citizens would have different priorities. The Electoral College system was a way to allow the people of each State to have their say.

      A simple majority vote for President is absolutely INSANE AND STUPID!! Those that condemn the Electoral College system are ANTI-CONSTITUTION IDIOTS! If all you needed was simple majority, a President today would only have to campaign on the West and Northeast coastlines and winning would be guaranteed. Giving each State an apportioned number of Electoral votes based on population STOPS the domination of the Presidency by the more populus States and GIVES ALL States and People a say… YOU DOLTS!!!

      Personally I think Obama will lose big. His voters are not energized. Anti-Obama voters are counting the days. And personally I think the best indicator of how an election will go is fundraising. The whole “put your money where your mouth is”. Romney continues to out fundraise Obama. If it weren’t for his big Hollywood fundraisers, he wouldn’t be raising ANY money. People are alot less likely to donate money than vote. If they are energized enough to open their wallets, then you can count on them voting! Just my observation. Takes more effort to write a check than to answer a phone poll.

      Dude you need to stop getting your information from Obama.com. Obama is the farthest left president this country has ever seen. And federal spending under Obama has gone from 20% of GDP to 25% of GDP. And the reason the debt has exploded is because tax revenues have gone from 18% of GDP to 15% of GDP – due to the high unemployment and under-employment rate (which undoctored is close to 18%) And Obamacare hasn’t even kicked in yet. Keep drinking the koolaid bro.

      Honestybefore truth:

      “The ONLY thing scarier than Ron Paul is his diehard supporters”.

      I suppose you could say I’m one of those “diehard” Ron Paul supporters. We’re making progress, too slowly to suit me, but we are making progress.

      “Be careful not to let one bite you, it could result in a nasty case of Paulitis, a brain numbing disease that presents with dis-associative behavior and foaming of the mouth (something akin to Progressivitis which so many of the OWS crowd has contracted)”.

      You are wrong about that. Not “Progressivitis”, but the mirror image of “Obamaitis”. All too many Paul supporters are the mirror image of unthinking O-bots who believe their guy can accomplish miracles and fix everything overnight. I’ve always said that electing Ron Paul would not be the end, but the beginning. Ron Paul is a man, a politician, better than the rest, but one thing he’s not is a miracle worker.

      Someday we just might elect, if not Paul, someone who shares his philosophy. In the mean time, we need to buy time, and that means Romney for now. That means a lot of unglamorous grunt work at the precinct level.

      We can get some of what we’d like from Romney; we get *nothing* from Obama, and after another four years, when all bets are off since O knows there won’t be a third term, I can’t say there will be anything left *to* save.

      You have facts and both of them are right. Looks like we both get our facts from reputed org like WSJ. Yes the GDP is low, hence the % of spending to GDP will be high even if the spending growth is low. Do the math.

      The GDP is low because the investment in illiquid asset is at a historical low. Builders are not bldg b/c demand is low. This happens after a major financial crisis. It will be a couple of years before we see a major uptick on this.

      It is a demand problem but we are working our way out of it. There is really not much the federal government can do about this (cleanse the system out of its excess). They can do some short term stimulus but it only slows the cleansing process.

Cooler heads realized then what we are beginning to see shaping up now. It’s unrealistic to expect we can undo the damage of liberal establishment republicans in one election cycle. Haste makes waste. Once we splinter into different parties we hand victories to to left. Does this practice sound appealing? We will have squandered our chances at real change but at the same time can say yeah but we sure showed those rinos. Is this what we will tell our grandkids? Yes I helped to end the greastest Republic the world has ever known but we sure showed those rinos. Look around. Our principles are steadily and surely taking root. Now is not the time for protest votes. The political wind has changed and I pray will continue to gather momentum but protest votes will present an additional burden that could dampen the hopes of ever getting our country back. Even after Romney is elected it’s not game, set, match. This movement is way way bigger than one or two elections. “Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail.” Our kids or grandkids may even have to finish the job but we will have left them in a better position than our protest votes would.

    Nearly everyone I now that voted for Obnoxious is going to vote for Romney now. Several won’t admit they voted for “O” because they feel like idiots, as they should… That said, my not so bright friends that actually admit to voting for the teleprompter and chief are undoubtly voting for Romney..

    Problem is this… the entitlement class has exploded in size and hence O-r.e.t.a.r.d. is gaining market share via the parasitic community that feeds on the poductive hosts.

      Man, I cant stand hard-core libertarians like you!
      Its not Ron Paul who is the problem.
      Its the fringe element of supporters like you that disenfranchise people to vote for him in the primary.
      I voted for him in the primary, but if he were to be a little younger and was more like Rand Paul, he would probably do much better in the primary.
      But, he don’t stand a chance. forget it already!

      And this is a conservative polling site! Even Fox News and Rasmussen are showing Obama ahead, in fact, at this point last election, the polls were better for McCain. Look at the chart in the middle of the page, scroll down, you will see that Obama is heading up and Romney is heading down, with only three months left. This should be a wake up call for the intelligent voter. ????

      SBenard, You just do not get it do you? Ron Paul is not the savior, Christ is. Ron Paul is not the only one to help our country, there are many needed at all levels of our government. You fall into the media trap as that is the only place you get your news from. Ron Paul is a catalyst for a much deeper movement than just him as POTUS. He is a catalyst for a grassroots movement to put our country back to our roots and Constitutional principles.

      “An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army or any government.” – Ron Paul

      You see, if Paul is not able to win, because of criminal activity by the RNC and Romney, there will come another, and another, and another. The Liberty movement has taken many chairs in the GOP state parties and we are not done yet. You can call us anything you want, we will not be deterred, we will not waiver, we will not quit. The time of establishment GOP leadership is on the verge of its demise. Those that condone the criminal acts of the RNC and Romney’s campaign are no better than the liberals they espouse to despise. We will prevail in the end, you will fall into disgrace.

      Brother Winston Smith’s list on the candidates….

      People voted for Obama for slogans (Yes we can; Si se puede (source: Marxist chants but probably the populace were too stupid to know that); and “Hope and Change” (too stupid to ASK for his definitions of “hope” and “change” would be they assumed it was their private agenda). One of the major concerns I had was hearing him declare that “he” would RULE by Executive Order. The office of the presidency is NOT a position of ‘ruling”. Those I knew who voted for Obama were white folks who thought it would be ‘cool to have the first black president’ — I thought that sounded rather racist but they couldn’t see their desires for show casing their token person in the White House. Others voted for Obama for the other slogan “A vote for McCain was 4 more years of Bush” (jokes on us all — as Obama is 20 times what Bush was). Never heard ANYONE tell me that they voted FOR Obama for leadership skills, character, etc.

      Folks I am hearing from will either write in Ron Paul because they believe in constitutionally framed government — limited with respect for individual rights; or they will be voting THIRD PARTY.

      These folks are thinking “anyone but Obama and his continual unconstitutional actions — running to the United Nations for MORE war (even Bush didn’t do that!; ObamaCare; no college records, no passport records, etc). But they can’t vote Romney — fails to respect Constitution too.

      Just a thought whenever liberals post here, all they’re doing is to distract us, and run us in circles posting proof to de-bunk them. I think the best thing to do is simply say liberal go away and not answer any of his/her posts……we come here to post and exchange idea’s and info….so when liberals come here sent either from dnc,or obama’s truth(police) website….if we do this consistently the liberals hopefully will go away…..the more we feed into liberal posts the more they win and get us running in circles…trust me it upsets me with their lies and untruths etc… but I think this is our only recourse……

You have not read the writings of John Adams who stated that one should vote for one’s principles. In other words — don’t vote for the lesser of two evils but to vote for the person who best understands the Constitution and has moral character to live by high standards.

      Folks I know are so fed up with the two party trap which George Washington was against that while they could not vote for Obama (they were wise enough and educated enough to see through the nonsense of chants and slogans and the LACK of life disclosures (no college records, no state legislative voting records, no birth certificate, no adoption records, no passport travel records) and they were darn well NOT voting for the simpleton idea of “vote for the first black president’ that thousands of others were too gullible and got swept up in the hype —- but, they can’t bring themselves to vote for Romney either based upon his record (links to the corrupted Olympics in Utah; he record as governor of Mass (health care) etc.) That means they will be looking at Third Party candidates ….writing in Ron Paul is also an option.

      I thought our efforts would be best spent on conservatives who consider themselves Tea Party. Considering Paul is the grand father of the Tea Party I thought our constitutional principals would be widely accepted amongst the crowd who professed the same principals. I have obviously been proven wrong. It seems limited govt and the Constitution has given way to legislating morality in this group.

      I still think Glenn leans more Constitutional Libertarian. Like the rest of us, I think he realizes the importance of getting 0bama out of office. Despite other reservations I have, Romney will be good for the economy. He is a very skilled businessman after all. He surely knows macro economics (again, no disrespect but he clearly knows it better than Dr. Paul) whereas 0bama is out to destroy this country.

      Thanks to all for your input! I still think you all would make huge progress with the moderate Dems and Indy’s. They are surely less absolute about who they are voting for and may sit out the election altogether. With your passion, I am convinced you could sway many of the disillusioned to the Libertarian Party. Especially since it is highly doubtful they would vote Republican. Just a thought…..

It is supposed to be so small that we hardly notice it is there. I get it. I know why you all do what you do. You all say you are for the Constitution, but when you get down to the brass tax of it, you all are actually socialistic thinkers. You want big government.

      @ WCP,

      Again, we differ on strategy.

      Whether you like it or not, America has been involved in business for over 100 years. Hell, most tax-paying Americans pay between 35% to 60% in taxes on what they earn between federal, state and local taxes. Corporate taxes are paid by most business (unless your a friend of the government, i.e. GE). So, yes, Romney’s expertise in business is a plus as we work on the rest of Congress in righting the mess America has become. The key is not only the Presidency but, as important, Congress. In the meanwhile, I’d sure rather have Americans working and jobs for the dependent class as we cut them off the government dole.

      The problem is you have a candidate who will never get enough votes. How in the world did he not even win Texas? And somehow you think he can win the country?

      Far too many of RP’s followers are inflexible and/or antagonistic calling others “socialistic” because they differ with you on how to get to the same place. I knew that risk asking the question. Many of you do his movement a disservice by arguing vehemently with those who share many of your same views but don’t agree with you on strategy. FWIW, your approach seems to divert as many people away from RP as you would attract.

Of course, you‘ve seen the names we’re being called constantly, and how we’ve been shut out of the process, and you have to admit the media blackout was sick. I mean you bring up TX, but Romney had to cheat to win delegates in his home state and there‘s basically a huge fight there that media won’t pick up on. And by the time TX primaries were held anyone who doesn’t really dig for information thought Ron Paul was already out of the race. It would help if some of the establishment folks would help us in throwing the BS flag where it needs to be thrown, so we an have an honest discussion on strategy.

      I don’t know what happened definitely in Texas. Anecdotally, I have family there, Conservatives, who do not support RP regardless of the blackout. Many Texans just don’t see him as a leader and, I’m sorry, but that’s putting their words kindly. I’m not disagreeing with you that establishment cheating was likely involved…..I’m only saying RP not carrying the state is not entirely due to the perceived blackout. Speaking of the establishment and support, I was glad to see the headline this morning of Rand getting time at the convention.

      As to name-calling, sadly, it happens on both sides and seems unbeneficial. Typically, I jump over most comments when I see the names involved as it’s the same argument on every thread. I only entered the fray on this one because I was curious if you all considered advancing the cause of liberty to disenfranchised 0bama voters. I think there are many among them who voted for the first time in 2008. I don’t think they were bad people……just that they got caught up in the idealism and made a horrible decision.

      @CoPatriots, I’m not denying a lot of people dislike RP. Especially in Texas. A lot of people here hate him too, primarily because of foreign policy and vice legalization. Both positions have been distorted, but that’s beside the point. I mean arguing that now is moot. A lot of the GOP cheating/fraud during the primaries isn’t made available by the MSM, so most people aren’t aware of it, but it did disgust me enough that I want all those responsible for it purged out of the system. GB not picking up on it and going with the media blackout is what has so many RP supporters mad at him. We thought he was honest and different, but he showed his hand during the primaries.

      Obama’s executive orders firghten me too, but what really frightens me is the GOP gave him so much power, and they’re refusing to do anything about those exectutive orders. I mean the Republican congress can defund his ability to exucute them if they wished. They control the money.

Well maybe the GOP deserves it, who knows.

      As far as demonizing me for calling anyone socialistic, let us define a socialist. A socialist is anyone who believes in big government. That is it. Obama believes in big government, Romney believes in big government, they just have slightly different ideas on the governments role in that big government scenario. If you believe in either of these two candidates philosophies, that makes you a socialistic thinker. I am a small, very small government thinker and believe the government messes up everything they try to manage.
