"The only problem is the Most of the Rich have worked really hard to get what they have and Most of the Poor haven't worked hard enough or choose the wrong kind of work."
Most of the Rich? Really...
You left out the fact that the Poor generally don't have the same access to the resources to become Rich that the Rich have...because they are not Rich to begin with. Most of the Rich did not start out Poor.

I fear that the Republicans will take the Presidency and we will be back at "status quo" government!

I listened to a liberal touting the jobs Obama has "created" and marveled that anybody could swallow, that with the exorbitant cost of each of those jobs, that that was a reason for celebration. The sleeping giant is awakening and will emerge with a deafening roar. I am so happy to be alive and a part of the awakening. We, the people, have had enough of the convoluted thinking of a socialist regime.

My Biggest Fear Is Four More Years. I Fear tha four more years will lead this Nation into the Greatest Depression. Obama has proven to be a Socialist, with Communist Tendencies. Obama wants to Socialize Everthing. I think that he thinks that he is "Robinhood". Take for the Rich and give to the Poor! The only problem is the Most of the Rich have worked really hard to get what they have and Most of the Poor haven't worked hard enough or choose the wrong kind of work. Sobody needs to tell Obama that not everyone deserves to be a Millionaire. Not even me and I have worked hard all my life, but I think that I too choose the wrong kind of work (Social Services).

Wow, V of MS who won't even use the whole name. You are just angry that people do not want Obama for president again. Probably, you are an Obama supporter. Just as many or more complained about George W. Bush in the same way. Maybe you should read a little better in the article. The article states that people over 65 or that make $75,000 or more were afraid of Obama being re-elected. These do not sound like people who have "no goals" to me. These are people who have degrees and the retired. Sorry that your "intelligence" was insulted. It was the low income and minorities with little to no educations who elected Obama anynyway thinking that he would pay their way. Surprise, he did not.

An Internet poll? Really? How is an unscientific poll like this supposed to be newsworthy?

I hope Obama kicks ass.

This poll included many options to those surveyed, along with the fact people disappointing with literally anything speak up more often than those content or happy with the same thing or service.
Because of this, it's data are utterly useless. Anger is always louder than satisfaction, this poll indicates nothing and this article insults logical, rational Americans. You know, the ones of us too busy helping out economy and woes then complain about something unimportant to any important goal needing to be tackled now. If you have no goals and complain about Obama, you are the dead-weight in this economic recovery and instead of blaming yourself, you find it easier to blame someone almost entirely disconnected and unrelated to your day-to-day affairs. Bravo, way to spend your time.
Even a lot of my republican friend look at the options they're being offered and agree, even though they hate it, Barack will be reelected, so just learn to live with that fact now and maybe you can move on, have a life, and find happiness. Or just live in ignorance, up to you.
Wow. Just, wow.

Three years and three months ago everyone was clamoring for America to produce more oil so we could get out from under those bad people who were taking us for the ride of our lives. Well, nobody did anything about our need for cheaper oil and today we are still waiting. The know it all smarties said, "Oh No"! "It will take 10, 15 years before we can start to realize any savings on finding and producing our own oil", so we are still waiting. If we had started 3 years ago we would have been farther ahead but no, we grew complacent and dumb. Now we have a chance to have a pipeline installed and still it is "NO". I would rather die of ground pollution than die from some crazy's atomic bomb. I really do not want to die at all but, we need to do something about producing our own oil. The longer we wait and procrastinate the longer we will be paying $5.00 or more per gallon of gas. Time is passing us by day after day, month after month, year after year and we will still be sitting on our duffs doing nothing. Plus, I do not want to hear all the complaining that will be going on when that happens. Get on the ball people of America and do something, anything about our oncoming dilemma. Bombard the White House with your letters and phone calls or any other way you have of communicating. "LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD". "DON'T BE STUPID" I LOVE THE SOUND OF "DRILL BABY DRILL"!
