At this point aggravating the base doesn't really matter because they will vote for Romney no matter what. It's not like they'll switch their vote to Obama.

This is off my twitter feed which is probably gotten off some TV channel or another as it's not on the PPP website as of a few minutes ago but PPP has independent voters for "more likely or less likely to vote for them after the election" with Obama at 32% more likely, 48% less likely, and Romney at 47% more likely and 35% less likely. EDIT: it's up now. Crosstabs at the bottom for the breakdown. http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/p...ePoll_1022.pdf |
Europe, for reasons I cannot understand, seems to think Americans care what Europeans think about America. When I'm told how much everyone else loves Obama, I always ask, "And how many of these people are voting in US elections?" Nobody asked me my opinion on Hollande, Merkel, or Cameron, I really and truly don't understand why I should care what anybody else's is about American politicians. I say this because the politicians we elect should be fighting for us, and doing what is in the best interest of America and Americans. If they step on some toes along the way and America is still better off for it, fine. |
