Im sad that I live in one of the blue states...

I would LOL if california fell to the republicans (never gonna happen)

but this makes me smile yes

Maybe, Just Maybe another reason he's going to lose is:

And Obama has Ex-Supporters Like This Man:
Telling It Like It Is!!!!!!!

Why can't Americans at least increase the term of office to twelve years instead of constantly flipping from party to party? 4 years isn't enough to have an impact on the nation, much less soften the impact of a previous politicians work. I mean, I know you're all up in arms about the constitution but that was a product of its times, when men lived way shorter lives and today with medical technology and education advanced so far you could reasonably allow a tripling of the term in office to almost no detriment except not having to go to the polls for a president that you only want to blame for all your problems anyways.

Kick the guy out after 4 years, damn, Bush got eight and his support was only assured since America doesn't like to change presidents in wartime.

After voting in Obama the American populace decided they didn't like him as much as they thought so they try to put a Republican in a seat of power, despite Republicans being one of the main reasons the national debt increases so quickly.

This story spins, but it does not float, because there is a drain America circles down, unable to decide how to pull itself away from an ever-increasing spiral of debt. Democrats reduce debts but only because Republicans call them tax-and-spend liberals. Republicans increase debt because they don't want to be seen as Soft on Crime.

These numbers might mean something if the current GOP list of candidates weren't absolutely terrible.

When are people going to realize that these numbers mean nothing?

Voting means nothing as well.

It does not matter what people say anymore and hasn't for quite a while. The craziest thing the US political system has done is convince it's people they are still voting for a new president.

The person who will become president will be whoever the richest people decide seeing they own all of the media outlets.

Stop believing the media's crazy story and start taking your government back.

I sorta feel sorry for this thread really. It is very unlikely for any current GOP candidate to have a chance taking Barack Obama head on. They're just that pathetic.

This is useless. Approval ratings have been shown to have little to no correlation with re-election. Aside from Clinton, every president has had diminishing approval ratings heading into a re-election year (Edit: I should add since Eisenhower, which was the first presidency to have extensive/scientifically valid polling data available).

Well said Predator.... The rich elitist, those who attend the Bilderberg meetings each year, the people who control everything have been buying the Presidential election for a long time... of course that purchase includes a nice new President all gift wrapped and ready to dance on the end of his strings like Pinocchio...

Our American system of election is the best money can buy... just like our politicans who on the whole are the best money can buy.

Sadly not theory... but highly factual...

Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.

There's a huge difference in a President's approval rating and who people are going to vote for. If you believe that Democrats are going to vote for any of the bumbling Repubs, you are seriously deceived.
Unless the Rubz come up with a decent non-extremist candidate, it's 4 more years of Obama, much to the chagrin of many.

I cannot see Romney, CERTAINLY not Gingrich, beating Obama..
Only thing they have on their side is speaking time during the Debate where they can bash him.

Ron Paul truly has no dirt on his side and can spend the debate time talking about the issues.

So sad to see the state of America today from up North
