45% Unhappy with GOP field

[Meister]

I don't know how that could be?

I'm VERY happy with the current field of GOP candidates, both announced and un-announced.

.

How far into the primaries did Obama become a front runner in 2008?

Super Tuesday

Yes, June 3, 2008. Before that date queen Hillary was to be the anoited one. So....like I said.....it's waaay too early for this.

It's not to early to tell that the GOP field is uninspiring. Even Republicans can't get a rise out of them

AP-GfK Poll: Republicans shrug at GOP's 2012 field - Yahoo! News

I saw it on FOX, so I guess it has to be true...

It is true and that is the GOOD news!. It could be much worse but the Independents are still watching. Just wait `till we get a candidate. That is when we can learn more.


President Obama received a bounce in the polls following the bin Laden news, but over this past week, the bounce has largely faded. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that the president's ratings have slipped back into the high 40s, right where they've been for most of the past year-and-a-half. The number who Strongly Disapprove of the president remains a bit lower than it was before the big news and enthusiasm for the president is up among his base voters.

Oh, poor Aqua. Nobody told you? Rasmussen is not a "Real" poll.

I have noticed that towards the end of the race, Rasmussen tends to drift back towards reality. But until then? Puh-leeze.

If you get to pick the poll that has Obama worst out of the whole pack, do I get to pick the one that has him doing best?

AP - 60/39 approve (+21)

RCP average - +8.9

A Political scientist drew up that list? By definition, he is a liberal. A greek liberal to boot.

Sorry but AP and Reuters have become very leftwing, therefore not reliable... That 60% you quoted??? That was two Democrats to one Rebublican. If you want me to put up the link I will, but I already have in two places here in the last two days....

Super Tuesday

Yes, June 3, 2008. Before that date queen Hillary was to be the anoited one. So....like I said.....it's waaay too early for this.

Super Tuesday was Feb 5 2008......a few weeks into the primaries


It's not to early to tell that the GOP field is uninspiring. Even Republicans can't get a rise out of them

My mistake on misreading what I did.
If the unemployment is still high, and the economy is still anemic.....I'm sure that the independents will latch on to a darkhorse....just as they did with Obama. After all, they will be the group that will be deciding this next election as they did the last one.

Bottom line is that it's still too early

 

[hortysir]

It is well known that political scientists know nothing about science.

But they're republicans

 

[Avorysuds]

I guarantee all righty's in here, Obama will win in 2012.

Republicans, eat it!

FACT! (like tm) You only have a 50/50 chance of being right.

 

[GoneBezerk]

So dumbasses like you can just go back in your hole and don't vote in the next election.

Thanks.

Agree...it is the economy

Clinton and Carter were dark horses who won a bad economy. Problem is that the Republican will have to give the impression that they can fix what is broke. Some of the crazies currently trying for the GOP bid will drive people away regardless of how bad the economy is
