AP poll: Independents as upset as Republicans

S

It just keeps looking worse and worse for democrats and anybody that wants to align themselves with a failed president and disastrous polices. Independents decide the winners and by a 2-1 margin they prefer republicans. It's coming, November is coming. Can you feel the unstoppable tidal wave of pissed off at Obama voters?

The figures are the latest cautionary note for Democrats, who face a Nov. 2 Election Day in which the sluggish economy and President Barack Obama's tepid popularity give Republicans a strong chance to capture control of the House and perhaps the Senate. They also help explain why independents, who can be pivotal in many congressional races, prefer their GOP candidate over the Democrat by 52 percent to 36 percent — which grows to 62 percent to 29 percent among independents considered likeliest to vote.

Yep if spidy would have posted more...

"I'm not happy with Republicans," said Ed Perry, 66, an independent from Lowell, Ohio, who thinks government is too large and expressed anger in the poll. "But I'm really unhappy with Democrats."


People are just mad and who ever is in charge right now gets the most blame.
 
Spidey sure posts a lot of bullshit at all times of the day and night. Wonders if his "employer" knows how much time he wastes here...
 
Independents voted overwhelmingly for Obummer in 2008. There's no other way to interpret this poll than that independents are having a severe case of buyer's remorse. Fortunately, November will provide the first opportunity to neutralize the immediate problem, then 2012 will provide the opportunity to correct the error.

by going back to republican assholes? WTH, were you born after 2008 or something?
 
There is an implicit danger to all the free floating anxiety floating around. To a great extent its pushing the GOP way too far right, right now the Independents are blaming the the dems more than the GOP, and so far nothing really excites the democrats.

So yes its understandable that someone like Spidey is counting his chickens before they hatch.

But that is the danger I talk about, free floating anxieties which are by definition not firmly rooted among independents and "normal people". And in times like ours, sometime but not always, it just take a rumor, an actual events, or just a voice crying comrades we have been betrayed to plant and firmly root those free floating anxieties at an entirely different place. There are still seven weeks to the general election, but Obama could use a few rabbits pulled out by Win Waun Sune.

Ultimately, people are going to vote with their wallets. Voters were pissed off at the last administration over the Wars and the weakening economy. So they voted in the guy who promised to Change the way things are done and get us all working/relief/going again. For a long list of reasons - many of which aren't really under anyone's control, others which should have been fixed but werent, plus places were we simply shot outselves in the foot - the promised improvements haven't (yet?) come to fruition. Compounded by a tiresome mantra of 'Blame The Last Guy(s)' for the current mess on the one hand, while handing out money on a level which would have been unthinkable to the previous administration on the other.


Basically: The only change we got was which Clown is Screwing What Pooch; and How Hard. i.e. Three Trillion Dollars for War? Or a Bailout that cost more than the War ($5 Trillion), Plus Universal Healthcare That Isn't Universal Yet Still Costs $1.5 Trillion.... and a regime which still has a couple years left!?!?

It comes down to ..am I better off now than I was 4 years ago?" The answer for an awful lot of us is "No, I am not".

and 'No, I'm Not' means incumbents lose their elected positions.

They may have their principles however they do not have even a smidgen chance of winning so they can do something about the potato-head congress that many wackos in this forum are so gun-ho about voting in.

It's really a shame that many seemingly intelligent people become so joyous every time their favorite dickhead republicans/democrats got control of congress and/or white house. They are like the mentally retarded with no short-term or long-term memory.

I would say fuck them, they got what they voted for, the only problem is I have to live under what they voted in.

So you expected Obama to snap his fingers and fix an 8 year mess in less than 2 years?
 
I remember this "feeling" before.. as short as two years ago when the other party ruled the roost....A lot of people will be unhappy for a very long time until some basics are changed. Mainly way these "two" parties get funded.

Well if McPalin had won instead of BHO it would be the Republicans the people would be pissed at. Who ever won in 2008 would be eating shit this time around.
 
Principles? Then you don't vote.🙂 :whiste:

I do but it's constitutional party or even green sometimes. basically I 'throw it away' as they say... wish more would do the same.

Who ever won in 2008 would be feeding us shit for the last two years until this Nov when we would be tired of eating the same shit so we would vote in the other group who would then feed us with a new bucket of the same old shit.

There, fixed it for you.

Basically I do the same and if I can't find a candidate I feel represents me I don't vote for any. I refuse to continually be part of the problem voting in the same type people repeatedly.
