A just released Gallup poll survey of voters who voted in 2008 presidential election and indicate they will vote again in November holds some bad news for Barack Obama. Among the questions asked of its respondents Gallup asked if the person being surveyed was planning to switch his/her Party vote to now support either Republican Mitt Romney or Democrat Barack Obama. Of those who had voted for John McCain in 2008 5% now supported Barack Obama. Of those original Obama supporters 9% reported their intention to vote for Republican Romney.
When this 9% switch is applied to Obama’s raw popular vote total, the 5% switch is factored against John McCain’s raw vote and both are compared the difference becomes a dead heat with an insignificant 17,000 vote lead for Obama.
The telling data in this report is the 4% undecided – which breaks against the incumbent to a high degree and the 11% that refused to say for whom they voted in 2008. This adds credence to the possibility that a substantial number of 2008 Obama supporters have strong felling of “buyer’s remorse.” It is, after all very much easier to find someone who says “I voted for Obama but I’m sorry and I won’t do that again,” than to locate a 2008 voter who says “You know, I voted for McCain but I’m sorry. I wish I had voted for Obama.”
Gallup also tells us a high percentage of independents (18%) have switched as have Easterners those with a high school diploma and unmarried men all reporting a 15% switch.
Since Independents went to Obama 52/ 44 in 2008 and every indication is that these voters who likely make up about 33% of the total turnout have soured on him, this is significant bad news for Barack Obama. We know White males are running away from Obama as are the young voters who carried him to victory in 2008. Consequently, the 15% switch among “unmarried men” most likely means that of the reduced number of young voters expected to cast a ballot in November Obama should not count on much help.

This day in history August 7,
1948: Democrat Harry Truman’s administration was revealed to have shipped 1,300 tons of uranium to the Soviet Union in 1945. Subsequent investigation proved the Truman Administration was full of Communists.

Judging from the long lines at the polls here in Missouri this morning, people are chomping at the bit to vote against Obama. The primaries are a proxy for November.
jim- obama has more than a cult problem-do you want to become a traitor?by voting for an illegal alien?obama is not even a USA citizen-therefore he is a crook and foremost -a traitor
Obama will not be defeated. He will either declare martial law, or trust in his Spanish friend to count the votes in his favor. Either way we lose. He is determined to take all guns from American citizens, the beginning for all dictators. The recent shootings (Batman) I contribute to Obama and the CIA. The CIA are masters of the electro magnetic mind control. Ask Cathy O’brien, she was one of their subjects for many years. I blame our Politicians for not insisting on him producing his birth certificate from the very beginning. And there again, we have so many Commies and NWO people in office making the laws that WE have to abide by (but do not include them) that our freedom is rapidly disappearing. Years ago the Russians told us the United States would be taken over without a shot being fired. They have all but accomplished it. At the time we could not even imagine such a thing happening in America, but now, we are so close to losing everything we believe in.
Joanneo, I have been saying what you have just said about Obama and Martial Law for about a year now. All that is happening now, and in the past 3.5 years, is beyond all logic. I see this man’s rise to power beginning just befor the Kerry run for the Presidency. I saw him speak at the Dem Comvention on TV and told my wife, then, that this man was going to be trouble. My take on this man is that he is demonically led and God allowed. We are in the Last Days and this man is bringing us closer to the end. Everything he does is either anti-Christian or anti-American. This man is a muslim and is doing everything he can to help the muslim fight Israel and America. Like there are RINOs (Republicans in name only) he is a CINO (Christian in name only.) Not once has he furthered the American public beyond greedy handouts. Will he be stopped, that is really unknown. America is not America under this man any longer. 2Chron. 7:14
