Disapprove...................................................... 52%

The right Democrat can win Georgia in 2016.

Q17 Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion
of Jimmy Carter?
Favorable........................................................ 55%

A Southern moderate or populist Democrat puts Georgia in play in 2016. There just might not be one. Southern states need to elect such pols to statewide office before that happens. Barack Obama is a d@mnyankee and no populist.

60% or higher maroon (70% saturation)
55-59% medium red (50% saturation)
50-54% pink (30% saturation)
45-49% orange -- Obama ahead (30% saturation)
45-49% yellow -- exact tie (30% saturation)
45-49% aqua -- Obama behind (20% saturation)
40-44% blue
under 40% deep blue

Polls only from after the 2012 election.

...Moderator: this observation is why I had this thread in the 2016 Election zone. How well Americans think of President Obama will have huge bearing on whether a Democrat or a Republican has a good chance of winning in 2016.

The survey was in the field from Nov. 25-Dec. 2, 2012.

929 respondents living in South Carolina. Sample size for Registered Voters is 726. For those who voted in the 2012 presidential election, the sample size is 600.

 Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling his job as President of the United States?

	All	Registered	Voter	Voted in	2012
Approve	48.0	42.5		43.1
Disapprove	41.2	49.4		51.9
Not Sure	8.9	6.2		3.9
Refused	1.9	1.9		1.1

So if you include non-voters Obama has a positive approval rating but among just registered voters he a has a negative one, and even more negative among those who actually voted.

The Hard Right has enthusiasm for just about anything in its ranks that moves in South Carolina, and others as a group must be apathetic. It could be that Democratic-leaning voters are by contrast unmotivated to vote.
