Shaw's Blog: Gallup Poll–Battleground State Nightmare for Obama
fox nation Today, Gallup released their aggregate state approvals for President Obama over the entirety of 2011. His drop relative to his 2009 standing is especially stark in battleground states. Here are some of the …
Webutante: Battleground States Show Sharp Decline For Obama
Battleground States Show Sharp Decline For Obama. AS MITT ROMNEY MOPS UP IN FLORIDA TONIGHT, many of my fellow conservative commenters diss and whine about Romney's conservative qualifications, his …
The following data is from all of 2011, and 2012 is not looking any better.
The Good News For Obama
His political standing is in reasonable but not good shape in traditionally Democratic Midwestern battlegrounds such as Wisconsin and Michigan and the more Republican heartland state of Iowa where his rating is 46 approval/46 disapproval.
And his numbers in Virginia are better than those in other battleground states 45% approve, 49% disapprove.
His numbers in North Carolina 44/49 approve/disapprove and Florida 44/48 approve/disapprove and even in Georgia 45/48 approve/disapprove aren’t good, but given his overall numbers, they aren’t that bad either.
The Bad News For Obama
His job approval ratings in the other battleground states are solidly underwater however, and in many states, they are much worse than publicly perceived, mostly because of White House spin.
In Colorado, which is seen as a gateway to aggressively contesting the Southwest, Obama scored a net -12 job approval 40/52 throughout the year.
In Nevada, also seen as a major bellwether, Obama has a 41% approval rating, with 50% of respondents disapproving.
In the critical battleground state of Ohio, 50% of voters disapprove of his performance, with only 42% approving.
And in the must-win state of Pennsylvania, Obam’s job approval is underwater, with 45% approving and 48% disapproving.
More Bad News
New Mexico is seen as a Democratic-leaning state because of its voting history and its significant Hispanic population.
But Obama’s performance there, 42% favorable, 51% unfavorable, isn’t much different than his weak standing in the other Southwestern battlegrounds.
The Obama campaign argues that it has an outside shot at contesting Arizona, but his approval rating is at 40%, with 52% disapproving.
In New Hampshire, a state that John Kerry carried in 2004, Obama’s job approval is at 39%, with 54% disapproving, and it’s a state that with Romney heading the GOP ticket, is starting to look more and more out of reach.
So What Does Obama Have To Do To Win?
Based on the above numbers, the most plausible path for the president’s re-election runs through Virginia, Florida and Iowa, which isn’t a scenario that Team Obama drew up in its spin sessions, but if the polls are to be believed, then it’s likely the only way to go.

Obama Rejected Numerous Proposals to Retrieve Lost U.S. Drone …
atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com12/9/11
Apart from the obvious — Islamic Iran, China and Russia now have state-of-the-art stealth technology and we lose a killer app in the war against the enemies of freedom, the most troubling aspect of this story is that Obama had a window of opportunity to retrieve the critical intelligence gathering drone and rejected it. He left it there for the murdering mullahs. With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that …

It’s somewhat hard to believe that this conversation took place on an MSNBC panel.
And I’m somewhat stunned by it!
On Morning Joe, a consensus emerged that Barack Obama doesn’t believe he has failed America, but rather that America has failed him.
Joe Scarborough encapsulated, saying,
"Obama sees our version of democracy as a stumbling block to his greatness".
More quotes:
"He believes that the country is not commensurate with his gifts".
"He thinks this country has an 18th constitutional republic that needs significant updating".
"He sees elected leaders from across the country as a stumbling block".
"And he sees democracy as …".
"He sees this government as a stumbling block that’s getting in the way of his greatness!".
I never thought I’d say it but,
"If this was on Morning Jow, then it must be true".
Does this video signify the end of the leftist MSM’s support for Obama?
That Obama was coming from the extreme left was never in doubt because he was a member of the New Party (communist) just twelve years before he was elected.
And he didn’t quit his prominent role; the courts shut the New Party down!
Did the MSM believe that he would be less left than his past portrayed?
Who knows, but let’s hope that they now understand and continue to downgrade him.
He has to go and maybe now there is a uniformity or opinion on it!?
