Obama expands lead over GOP rivals

[Dr.House]

Poll: Obama expands national lead over GOP rivals

Prediction:

Obamacare is pared down by the SC but
Obama still wins in November.

If obamascare is spanked by SCOTUS 0bama is guaranteed one-and-done...

 

[Dr.House]

Registered voters? Likely voters would be a better barometer this poll means next to nothing.

80% of registered voters vote.

Link?

Right now, no one is paying attention. The SCOTUS Obamacare fight is in the front.

Once the GOP sorts things out.....they'll turn their guns on Obama and he is going to drop like a shot.

Half of all Americans now express unfavorable views of Mitt Romney, a new high for the GOP presidential hopeful in Washington Post-ABC News polling.

Romney’s negative numbers have jumped around this election cycle, but the overall pattern is similar to his trajectory four years ago: As he became better known, his unfavorables shot up far more rapidly than his positive numbers. Negative impressions are up eight percentage points in the past week, nudging past the previous high, which occurred about the time Romney suffered a big loss in the South Carolina primary.

In the new poll, 50 percent of all adults and 52 percent of registered voters express unfavorable opinions of Romney, both higher than Obama has received in Post-ABC polling as far back as late 2006.

The biggest difference between Romney and Obama is on the other side of the ledger: 53 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the president; for Romney, that number slides to 34 percent.

In the new poll, Romney is underwater with independents: 35 percent view him favorably, 52 percent unfavorably.

Independents are more evenly divided on the president — 50 percent favorable, 46 percent unfavorable, about where they’ve been in recent polls.

Romney far behind Obama on test of basic popularity - The Washington Post

Poll: Obama breaks 50 percent against Romney, Santorum - POLITICO.com

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Wednesday also indicates that the president's approval rating has inched over the 50% mark in CNN surveys for the first time since last May, when the polls were still registering the after-effects of the death of Osama bin Laden. The number of Americans who say the economy's in good shape has jumped 13 points since January, though the survey shows a majority still think it is in poor shape.

The same poll also has good harbingers for the Administrations approval ratings as well, now above 50%.

The USSC might consider the backlash leavening the nation without healthcare legislation when presently the best compromise possible is already a matter of "Law".

There was no compromise.

very much so and a work in progress - what or where is there any alternative legislation being proposed ???

The USSC might have thought better than interfering with an act of Congress.

Oh gee, a CNN poll. I bet 100% of CNN viewers think Clinton left Bush a surplus too.

He did. Are you confusing debt and deficit?

Wishing it doesn't make it so.

How does the law being struck down because of conservative challenges and resulting in millions losing their coverage, lead to an Obama loss?

 

[sealybobo]

How come fiscally conservative Republicans didn't mind when Bush wasn't counting the cost of Iraq against his budget? And still Bush had a huge budget deficit.

And using the same formula, only counting everything including the Kosovo war, Clinton had projected budget surplus' for years to come. Bush turned them into deficits and debt.

And have a Republican appoint another Roberts? Please strike down Obamacare! Not everyone knows what Citizens United is so please show everyone that the supremes are just right wing hacks now with roberts, alito, thomas and scalia. They seriously need to go. And Roberts could be around for 30 years.

Nope. He just understands the difference between a projected surplus and an actual one.

I will never understand why any of you seem to think that sustaining our Freedom of speech is unpopular. You seriously want the government to be able to silence to before an election?

I know you dont like them because they actually follow the Constitution, but you're an American, you should uphold the Constitution. It's what protects your liberties.

What the fuck are you talking about? Lets count the right wing talking points. Freedom of speech, constitution, American, liberties.

Why does any legislation have to be passed? Particularly since the Federal Government has absolutely no authority to regulate health care, save perhaps passing a law saying it's legal to buy insurance across State lines.

Please read Citizens United sometimes. It's difficult to have a discussion with someone who has no clue what the issues in Citizens United are.

And they aren't talking points. It's seriously messed up that you think our God given rights are talking points rather than fundamentals of our society.

Us liberals had a saying in 2004. 9-11 was a horrible one day event that did a lot of damage to our economy. But what was worse were all the policies that Bush and the GOP passed after 9-11. They used the tragedy to push their radical agenda and it bankrupted the country. How was Clinton to know they would do this?

Bush tax breaks, fast tracked 7 million jobs out of the country, turned a blind eye to illegal employers, started two wars, grew the government and crashed the economy through their deregulations.

How was Clinton supposed to know the GOP would do this? He gave Bush a surplus. Bush handed Obama a deficit and debt.

 

[Avatar4321]

There is no surplus if it's projected, but not realized. I don't know why this is hard for you to accept. Heck, you even admitted it briefly before starting to claim it's all Bush's fault.

You "liberals" also conveniently ignored that Clinton was providing incorrect numbers and gave Bush a recession.

I get the feeling you don't know what Citizens United is about.

Corporations aren't people and money isn't speech.

And if corporations are people, how was Reagan able to force hospitals to care for sick people regardless of their ability to pay?

Imagine the government telling you that you have to sell someone a used car even if they don't have good credit. How can the government force a hospital to do this if they are people? Isn't that unconstitutional?

Just curious as to how you think that hiring a guy to uphold the Constitution that doesn't know enough about it to write a piece of legislation that doesn't violate it could be a good thing?

The legislation became Law by an act of Congress and the assent of the Executive - something you may regret but nevertheless a fact of Government.

Why do you lie?
