A just-released Gallup survey of voters who voted in the 2008 presidential election and indicate they will vote again in November holds some bad news for Barack Obama. Among the questions asked of its respondents, Gallup asked if the person being surveyed was planning to switch his/her party vote to now support either Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama. Of those who had voted for John McCain in 2008, 5% now supported Barack Obama. Of those original Obama supporters, 9% reported their intention to vote for Republican Romney.
When this 9% switch is applied to Obama’s raw popular vote total, the 5% switch is factored against John McCain’s raw vote, and both are compared, the difference becomes a dead heat with an insignificant 17,000 vote lead for Obama.
The telling data in this report is the 4% undecided – which breaks against the incumbent to a high degree and the 11% that refused to say for whom they voted in 2008. This adds credence to the possibility that a substantial number of 2008 Obama supporters have strong feelings of “buyer’s remorse.” It is, after all, very much easier to find someone who says “I voted for Obama but I’m sorry and I won’t do that again,” than to locate a 2008 voter who says “You know, I voted for McCain but I’m sorry. I wish I had voted for Obama.”
Gallup also tells us that a high percentage of independents (18%) have switched as have Easterners- those with a high school diploma and unmarried men all reporting a 15% switch.
Since Independents went to Obama 52/ 44 in 2008, and every indication is that these voters who likely make up about 33% of the total turnout have soured on him, this is significant bad news for Barack Obama. We know white males are running away from Obama as are the young voters who carried him to victory in 2008. Consequently, the 15% switch among “unmarried men” most likely means that of the reduced number of young voters expected to cast a ballot in November, Obama should not count on much help.

Obama’s failing policies should be wiped out, especially the deadly ObamaCare law. Let’s hope the voters will vote him out in Nov. and all of his corrupt henchmen/women. Obozo is a the most dangerous man alive to America. The DemonRats and RINOs are too. I think there’s hope for America, but I think this may be our last chance. Nothing is impossible with God. We need to turn back to Him now.
All true Americans are looking forward to reading these headlines long before the 2012 election…………BREAKING NEWS ! THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY ! BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA REMOVED FROM OFFICE ! Stay strong America !
He is immature and should not be running a dog pound let alone a great country like America. He has no idea what he is doing. He has all but destroyed America which he has had plans on doing. He did succeed in DIVIDING our nation. The racial tension here is now worse then what it was in the 60′s and I REMEMBER how bad it was.
Voter Fraud will be the deciding factor in this election. The pretender’s handlers know he can’t win legitimately so are busy putting the Voter Fraud machinery in place and oiling it up.
I agree hongryhawg. Voter fraud will be a BIG problem. That is also why OhBummer wants amnesty for Illegals. They are going to be his Undocumented Voters. Along w/the dead & disney characters and the voters who will vote multiple times. It’s the only way he can win. Of course I wouldn’t call it a win, more like stealing and deceit. So there has to be more of us then them. We Just have to get out the vote. It’s our only chance of saving our country

I agree with you……..he has been building that machine and has put the manufacurer in Spain.
I agree with you 100%. Why would our votes need to be counted in Spain? Because George Soros is involved with the company doing the counting. If Obama wins this election it will be because it was fixed.
IF obama wins this election, you will see the second American revolution, no doubt about it!
Voter fraud will be bad but don`t forget a company in Spain will count the votes. Wonder how much it will cost to change the vote from one to the other?
Boons are good at collecting welfare, not running a country. Boons would rather rob at gunpoint an Alex’s lemonade Stand, rather than running one because all the boons would steal the money, just like obama has
Please not everyone of barrys complexion are that way , I have a grand nephew who worked his way thur college by running his own business as a farrier on the weekends,he graduated without oweing one red cent< and I can safely say he's no boon ,I've also served with lots of those you insult by your atitude ,In case you missed Dr. Kings main idea ,we judge people by the content of the character,not the color of there skin! Yes there are some whose character is lacking our dearleader and Eric Holder come to mind , but so do Biden Pelois and Harry Reid so no ones color has anything to do with ones honor or lack of it!
Lastfreeman you are sooooo right! All these people you listed lack character, good judgement, and respect for our constitution and our country.
I agree that O’bummer needs to impeached. What about the others? Senators congress that back him? We need to look at the whole, not just at O’bummer. There are still the bad apples. If we want to keep America we need to clean house completely.
The sick criminal “Broken-backed Obama” is already in the dumpster, lets give him a proper send off and send him to his ‘Kingdom’ – The Dump -Yard!
I don’t trust half breeds, never have, never will. They are ALL ‘two-minded’. There are NO exceptions!
Every one needs to REMEMBER.The votes are not going to be counted in the USA.They are going to Spain to be counted.Can you smell something bad here.I do.I don’t think this is right.What has the Great Lord O promised Spain?It is time to rise up America.We the People demand our election results never leave our country.Obama set this up without any body knowing until it was set.Time to put a stop to this travesty of justice .Obama will win no matter how We the People vote.Then America as we know it will be gone.For those out here that thinks I am a little nutts.Look it up.It is real,He will never leave on his own.The man will not except a loose .He is in love with himself and he thinks he is a king.The Great Lord O and his Queen Skank.They need to go to jail for life.We the People will never surrender this once great country to anyone.Ammo up and clean your guns,All of them.God Bless America and Please Keep Her Safe
All Romney has to do is say he’ll give up his tax info if the muslim will give up all his college info…guarantee all the hullabaloo will be dropped about Romneys taxes…in my area of Baltimore county, there will be volunteers checking for valid I.D.s on voting day…I have already volunteered to be at the polls to check the I.D. of everyone voting…any question, your ass gets shown the door!
