Poll: Americans, 2-1, Fear Obama's Reelection

Obama is only really in trouble on these right leaning sites and publications. I live in the middle of Kansas, it doesn't get any more Red State than here, and people seem pretty evenly divided right now. At least the non Tea people. Most realize that Obama won by a pretty good margin in 08 and that it was the Tea Party that divided the country, not the President. The right wing seems to think everyone is stupid and because they say the Black man in the Oval is bad we all fall in line. That only happens to Republicans. Most others try to spend some time trying to see through all of the smoke and mirrors.

Regardless of polls, the economy, unemployment or the price of tea in China, the black community will vote in force for the black man come November. In the mean time, the Republicans will continue to tear each other a part until they convince the remaining voters of America that no Republican is worthy to be president... just saying.

Dana, you sound like an angry witch. Relax...let others to have an opinion. That is what our country is about, right??? Too many of you "righties" are haters of anyone, anything other than some delusional view of the country that you have been brainwashed to believe in. By the way, Ijust celebrated by 30th service anniversary at my job. I own my own home, sent two kids to college, have been happily married for 32 years, 7th generation American and I cast my vote in each election. Sound like a fool, eh? I'm probably more evolved than you and you feel threatened that there are those of us who support Obama. Take a chill pill, dearie!

ENLIGHTENED IS A FOOL AND IS OBVIOUSLY NEVER WORKED IN HIS(HER) LIFE. ANYONE WHO HAS ANY BRAINS JUST NEED TO REVIEW HISTORY, AND SEE THAT THE REPUBLICANS IDEAS HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS. BUSH SCREWED UP BUT THAT DOES NOT NEGATE THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS ADDED 5 TRILLION TO THE DEBT, IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS AND THE OBAMAS GIVE A HALLOWEEN) PARTY (3 MILLION), A 7 MILLION VACATION TO HAWAII, AND THEY ARE ARE DEMONIZING THE SO-CALLED "1%"

GET A JOB AND A LIFE AND YOU DO NOT NEED THE DEMOCRATS TO PROVIDE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY "THINK" FOR YOU, WITHOUT SHEEPEL THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE OUT OF A JOB, BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES WILL PROSPER AGAIN. THE LAST GREAT DEMOCRAT WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD IN TEXAS, PROBABLY BY A FELLOW DEMOCRAT

I hope this 2:1 ratio bothers to vote. The Obamaganda machine, media & entertainers will be in high gear to sway the masses, just like in 2008.

So if people who are worried don't do something about it, get ready for your biggest fear.

1$ = 25 cents, and Soros is richer than ever.

I just read the comments of Martha Chandler and I must ask the question, where were you educated? Anyone with half a brain would know better than what this half witt states. This "educated" person scares me because she has not learned anything about the real world. I would just like to make the statement that I am not middle class, do not have a college education but I am smart enough to know what is happening to our way of life and our country and I intend to vote for a republican for President in 2012. So there Ms. Chandler, I just cancelled your vote. You might as well stay home.

I am white, middle-class, well educated and do not plan to vote for any republican. What the Whisper Poll failed to report is that the US continues to be a racist country, particularly in the southern and mid-western states.

If not, where was all this outrage over presidential policies during George W. Bush's administration? We were lead by a village idiot and the country sat by in silence and simply ass on everything he said or did. President Obama has accomplished quite a lot, in spite of the Republicans attempt to block his every move just for the sake of opposing him, even if it puts our country at risk.

Do you really want to end Social Security for our county's elders and give the rich more tax breaks???? If so, vote for a Republican! If you earn more than $250k per year, and you want to shift your fair share of the tax burden to the people who make less than you, vote for a Republican. If you don't care about our environment and the shape of the planet your children and grandchildren will inherit, vote for a Republican. Do you want to continue waging war on Middle Eastern countries so we can raid their oil, vote for a Republican. If you want big government making personal health decisions for you against abortion, stem cell research for a cure for cancer, Alzheimer's,

Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases that stem cell treatment shows promising results, then go ahead and vote for a Republican. If you have no compassion for children and preparing them to become our future leaders, then eliminate their educational opportunities by voting for Republicans!

If you do vote Republican, I hope you will be pleased to see a country divided into the have and have-nots, polluted oceans, suffering elderly citizens who earned the right to finish their lives with dignity not poverty, and a society that is dumber than dirt. Enjoy!

On election day, I will not follow the rest of the "sheeple" and vote the FOX News ticket, but rather gladly vote for Obama who acts on behalf of country's best interest.

I guess I missed that poll. This person cannot wait to kick him out of office.

I have feared obama's re-election since he took office. The man needs to go. Is the American public never going to wake up and see that the emperor has no clothes? He spends the majority of his time creating division in congress instead of working towards a solution to our economic problems. He believes in bankrupting our country (I believe he already has) and we will never be able to undo the damage he's done. In addition, he's either playing golf or going on lavish vacations with his "entire" family. If he were working at a corporation, they would have long since fired him. The list goes on and on and will never end if we never make him a one-term president.

Martha E. Chandler of FL 9:25AM January 12, 2012

Thank you "Truth".

What the main stream media DOESN'T report is that Obama is doing everything the Repubs have been wanting to do for YEARS but hasn't been able to accomplish, and THAT is what has them mad. LOL. If they'd just get out of his way he'd be able to do so much more. But they won't. Because he's Obama. Everything HAS to be his fault. (forget the fact that he has bailed us out of 8 years of "Dubya").

During the race four years ago I had the honor of going to Brazil, and was the only independent in my group - everyone else was die-hard Republican. I spoke with many local people there who asked who I was voting for. When I said "Obama" they said "thank you!". Left my Repub friends with their jaws on the ground. ;)

I for one PRAY for his re-election. (Ahem... and I am a highly educated working middle-class 30-something)
