Pennsylvania 2012

[pbrower2a]

The messiah's approval ratings in 2012 will be in the teens so the question or poll is irrevelant.  Obama is FAIL.

Explain, please.

What would a President have to do, short of a disgraceful and unambiguous crime such as treason, bribery, or murder, to get an approval rating that low? Even Dubya stayed well clear of the teens despite a bungled war and an imploding economy.

In recent months his approval ratings suggest that he is gaining popularity. He has positive ratings in some States in which he got creamed on Election Day -- most notably Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Even Utah! That doesn't say that he will win any of them... but he doesn't have to win any of them.

Obama wins with any recovery, even if the recovery doesn't bring the heady speculation of five years ago. He wins if he doesn't bungle his way into a war of his choice and folly.

Try taxing the hell out of the working/producing class...

You must be confusing Obama's tax policies with the so-called Fair Tax of Mike Huckabee.

In any event, people are so desperate for economic recovery that they will put up for higher taxes so long as those taxes support job-creating government activity whether through services or the building or repairing of infrastructure.

Yeah. A bad economy is a far bigger financial burden than high taxes. Not to mention that the bottom 95 percent of tax payers are seeing no tax increase, of course.

Such is the blind spot of the GOP; deferential to its upper-crust contributors, it can't recognize that people would rather get higher taxes, more and better services, and fuller employment than get stuck with lower wages and pervasive unemployment.
