Pollster Analysis: Obama Not Losing Support From Independents

Commented Nov 24, 2009 at 09:21:20 in Politics

“I just have one quick question for you guys:

If President Obama ISN'T losing support among independents, then whose support IS he losing?

Any poll will show you that his poll numbers have been declining from what they were, so that means he is losing support somewhere. Since you guys think that no Republicans ever supported him and he isn't losing Independents, does that mean he is losing Democrats? Or just simply third party supporters?”

LisaLisa1234 replied on Nov 24, 2009 at 10:22:44

“If I'm reading the charts correctly, the biggest decline was from moderate Republicans. This is concerning. The conservatives always hated him, and though the decline is there, it's not as steep as among the moderates.

This may mean they're beginning to listen to the conservatives, or it may shift back once the jobs start picking up significantly.”

“It depends on the survey question asked. See above post.”

“The rules to forward progress changed the second he bobbled the ball”

Cole 33 replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 13:39:04

“Agreed, you can clearly see the receiver bobble the ball, it was a great defensive move pushing him back below the line.

I understand Bills call, you don't want Peyton Manning to have his hands on the ball at all, anywhere on the field, so he gambled, he lost the gamble.”

“Watch the other angles available elsewhere...he DID bobble the ball. Also, the refs DID NOT REFUSE to replay. The play was BEFORE the 2 minute timeout. The rules state that before the 2 minute warning, reviews are done by Coaches challenge. Bill had used up all his timeouts and therefore was not able to challenge anything...another Pat mistake that cannot be blamed on anyone else but the Pats”

“I think Belicheck was wrong to go for it on 4th down. Peyton is the Michael Jordan of the NFL and there is no one I would rather have on the field when it comes to crunch time (apparently most hall of fame qb's agree if you saw NBC's survey of them). That being said, the Colts needed a touchdown and extra point to win, a field goal meant nothing. Would you rather give the ball to Peyton inside your own 30 or on his own 25? Yes, Peyton can do it, but the odds are better for Peyton if he is already on top of the end zone. There had been at least 4 dropped balls by Colts receivers and the officials only called 1 pass interference call on the Pats during the whole night and Peyton had seen a lot of pressure (much less thrown 2 INT's).

The Pats had 17 point leads TWICE in the game...they used time outs when they could have avoided them (leaving the option of a challenge to trickle away)...they fumbled into the end zone and threw an INT in the end zone...they let a team that had been basically dominated come back on them...again (the last 4 meetings were won by the team that came from behind, the Colts are 3-1 in those 4 games).”

Fraugher replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 12:31:55

“At least make Peyton beat you... any QB could have converted that 28 yard field.

Its 1. let Peyton beat you, 2. let you beat yourself, or 3. win the game. The Patriot players were already winning the game, Belichik tries to jump in and make his stamp with #2.”

Algrokos replied on Nov 16, 2009 at 12:23:50

“And being the PATRIOTS you have to trust Tom Brady to get you 2 yards during crunch time. Getting a first down meant the game was over. All this just proves you idiots have no real understanding of football.”

Its OK to criticze O from the left? I thought if you criticized O you were automatically a
rac!st?”

marco01 replied on Nov 05, 2009 at 16:33:09

“LOL. Where you been? O has been receiving TONS of criticism from the left even before he was elected.

I will give you that many on the left are a bit quick with cries of "racism!". But the right needs to clean out its closet. There is definitely racism behind some right wing attacks, but does anyone on the right ever stand up and call them out? Never. So they rightly get accused of providing cover to racists.”

“no one is forcing us to public option?...but we would have to pay for it in addition to our own insurance...plus if it is cheaper for business to pay a penalty that to pay for the health insurance costs, then they will drop the existing policy, so people lose their existing policy...plus the cost of existing policies will skyrocket because doctors/hospitals will charge them even more to make up for what they are failing to be reimbursed for by people on the public option (part of the reason costs are high now are because they recoup losses taken on medicare patients to people with regular insurance)...plus many doctors have already indicated that it will be hard for them to stay in business as they cannot recoup the costs of their business from the payments of people on public option covg, so if they go out of business, we ration care even further

To recap...my employer no longer pays for my insurance plan so it goes away and my doctor no longer practices, because his business loses money, so I lose my doctor...so now my option becomes the public option and my care is rationed to the nth degree...but I am not FORCED into the public option...right?”

socalgal38 replied on Nov 05, 2009 at 13:27:45

“All the speculation and 100 to 1 you didn't even bother to read the bill. Of course not because you would know that your employer will not be able to drop their policies. Once this bill is signed your employer will be forced to keep their policies.

As for the public option it will only be for the ultra small businesses, you know the employer with one or two employees. It is purposely designed to fail because only 2% of the population will be allowed to opt for the public option.

So all i can say to you, is keep fighting so that we can get a better bill passed. If you are working for the insurance company as a shill you should know what you are doing and stop being an enabler for the insurance companies to r a p e everyone including you.”

“Please PROVE the the reason each of the people list was a "lack of insurance"

Please compare the stories on that website with the stories of those people in countries with govt healthcare systems.”

juliasavior replied on Nov 05, 2009 at 12:46:01

“The first think those agains providing healthcare to all Americans want to do is Bash other countries who actually care enough to provide Health Insurance coverage to All their Citizens.

At least they cared about saving the lives of their citizens. Not One American has access to any death rates in Canada, or Europe, it's all smoking mirrors and their citizens constantly dispute the lies spewed by the Republicans.

Thank goodness these countries did not think it Robery to provide health insurance for All their citizens

Our country is too Greedy to care for the "Least of Them'

Yet these same folk run to church every Sunday and pretend to care about the Least of them

As the old saying goes Actions speak louder than words.”
