Democrats Are Starting to Get It

Americans’ fear of big government - partly fueled by a sharp spike among Democrats since President Barack Obama took office - almost reached a record high this year and is far greater than people’s concerns about big business and big labor, a new Gallup poll Monday shows.

An overwhelming 64 percent of people surveyed said big government was the biggest threat to the country, compared to just 26 percent who said big business is their gravest concern and 8 percent who picked big labor.

(emphasis mine)


Of course big labor and the gov are the same thing today

And then add this to the mix

President Barack Obama is in big trouble, with both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich leading him in a dozen key swing states, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Romney leads Obama among registered voters, 48 percent to 43 percent, in the 12 states the survey covers. And former House Speaker Gingrich leads the president, 48 percent to 45 percent. Nationwide, Obama leads Gingrich, 50 percent to 44 percent, and Romney, 47 percent to 46 percent, according to the poll.

The 12 states are Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Obama won all of them in 2008. Each could go either way next year, and Obama needs to win half of their electoral votes to gain a second term, according to USA Today.

The portion of voters in those states who identify themselves as Democratic or Democratic-leaning has dropped 4 percentage points since 2008, while the portion of Republicans has risen 5 points.

After observing President Obama for the last three years, it has become obvious to me that the president might prefer to be a university professor rather than do the job he holds today. While he might not realize that he feels this way, the evidence is very clear to those who work with or watch him closely.

Let me be clear — I’m not trying to disparage professors. But anyone who wonders why the president is not crushing the weak Republican field only needs to examine how President Obama has behaved more like Professor Obama:

Which is a very interesting point of view coming from the Democratic side

I hope they keep thinking this way

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

You're still setting yourself up for a nasty fall next year...way too confident. Do you know how big Dukakis's lead was over Bush in the summer of 1988?

Based on the Saturday debate and other recent events, it looks like Romney is getting frayed at the edges, getting a bit disparate. And it's just short time before he starts (via superpacs) reminding America what a scumbag Newt is. Obama's campaign doesn't have to start campaigning for a long while...they can save up their money.

I agree. Obama doesn’t HAVE to campaign. He doesn’t have any Democratic challenger. I’ll put it this way, Obama has become so unpopular that the only person who would even be capable of blowing the Presidential election to him would be a Republican candidate. I’m sure that they could do a fantastic job of blowing it, as well.

Over confidence?

I dont think so
If that is the way I come across please excuse me

As for any of the candidates? Any of them can beat Obama if they done pull a big screw up

One thing is for sure

We are in for the ugliest political season ever

I have to agree with kelpdiver on this one. Newt has alot of baggage, and it's going to be prime material for the Democrats to exploit. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Hillary emerge in the near future here. I think she would be a shoe-in at this point in time.

appear in this election, or the next? Hillary is still a reach for 2016, not a chance in hell for 2012.

They keep saying that, but you never know. Agreed, it's a long shot, but it wouldn't surprise me.

it's a 0 shot - this sort of party betrayal would be difficult to impossible even if the people liked the candidate, like Bill Clinton. For Hillary, who has a negative rating in the 40s, it doesn't fly. Remember, she couldn't even win in 2008 against the spectre of George Bush.
