Keystone Fate: Obama Down To Fresh Lows in Must-Win Pennsylvania, 42-53%
— Ace

Same pattern as in that poll I linked yesterday-- It's the independent disapproval, plus soft Democratic support, that really cuts.

5 These polls are racist.  Anyone who mentions these polls are racist.  Anyone who runs against Obama is racist. Anyone who does not vote for Obama is racist.

6 You are a racist if you don't vote for Obama.

Or don't think he is smart.

Or don't think you should pay sky high prices for groceries and gas.

You are also a racist if you don't trade in your 8mph gas guzzler and buy a 40K Volt.

Meh.  It used to be that just skin color mattered.

The administration never paid attention to polls in the past, and have no plan to develop a stragedy based upon polling.  We trust the American people to do the right thing,  and are not concerned with the biased pollsters.

30 When Walmart is complaining that people are not spending because they are out of money at the beginning of the month... 
I don't know about your areas, but in my area SuperWalmart, I have noticed more new Mercedes, Lexus, Jaguars and Infinitis in the last six months in the parking lot than in all previous years since the Super Walmart opened about 10 years ago.  It is really odd to see the boutique shoppers schlepping around Walmart with the $400 handbags and similarly priced clothing.  Any other moronettes noticing that phenomenon?  I actually went with a person a few months ago who confessed that he had never been to a Walmart's.

And he is president of the United States and I don't think anybody will debate his intelligence and so now we do need to get serious...let's just get serious...get back to focusing on what's important.


So, because he is almost 50 and President he doesn't have to?  Just Release the Transcripts already. These records will be known someday so why should the American people who are interested have to wait till Obama has left office to see them?

50 @34 I can't afford the gas to drive to Walmart!  The nearest one to me is 15 miles away.  I suspect that is keeping a lot of their shoppers away now.  It used to be worth the drive to save a few bucks on kids' clothes or TP, but when gas is $4 a gallon it isn't.

Much as we'd all like a good conservative, we need to realize that the American people won't accept that, and nominate a moderate." RINOs, in a good Republican year: "Awesome! We can win! If we just nominate a moderate, we'll be unbeatable!"

Yes.  Even after several Albertson's closed, the few left open are pretty vacant, no matter what time of day.  Then you can go into a Food For Less, jammed-packed.  I don't mind buying cheaper cuts of meat, but the problem with both Food For Less and WalMart is that they often infuse their meats with saline solution to bulk- up weight.

58 How much longer will the label "racist" have traction?  Haven't we all been called it so often that it is a joke now? 
Heard Allen West on Beck this A.M. telling Beck how many names he has been called such as oreo and uncle tom among others, and how West just let it roll off his back.  That man has oozes integrity, honesty and love of country.  There is no one who could have less experience than Obowow, so, if West were to run, I would run to his support. But, in the mean time, I will just enjoy B.O.'s slide in the polls and watch his frantic efforts to bring up the numbers.  I know that will interfere with his golf, which is even more satisfying.

From Instapundit:

As a PA resident I can attest to the sea change in attitudes towards Barack Obama here.

ItÂ’s public, itÂ’s palpable and itÂ’s entirely due to inflation.

ItÂ’s astonishing to me that a bunch of guys who are supposed to be so smart think that women arenÂ’t going to the grocery store and leaving in a state of shock, disbelief and, occasionally, panic.

And a Democrat who frightens women cannot win anything. Period.

I just started playing a sort of instant citizen poll at stores. It began a week or so ago at SamsÂ’ Club:

I was in one of THOSE lines and ended up chatting with a well dressed middle aged woman with a cart half full of grocery items.

I made mention of the fact that while I didnÂ’t normally make the hike to SamsÂ’ that with prices going up I figured I had to make the effort.

She exploded: Prices are sky high, sheÂ’s feeding three kids, eating store brands and sale items but canÂ’t afford to stock up, on and on.

Then the lady in front of HER piped in: if prices keep going up she doesnÂ’t know what sheÂ’ll do, their budget is already at the breaking point, trying to keep a daughter in college, off she goes.

Then a man in the next line over heard them and HE jumped in: this is ridiculous, Washington is killing us, economy broken, heÂ’s off to the races.

I thought maybe this was just a coincidence, so IÂ’ve started the same conversation in store lines twice more in the past week and itÂ’s exactly the same: people are frightened and EVERYONE wants to talk about it out loud.

The interesting thing to me is that everyone used to be very reluctant to speak out in public against Obama. You were always afraid some leftie whackjob would hear you and tear into you. You know what I mean.

But now the gloves are off, people are freaking out and Obama can raise FIVE billion dollars for his campaign and organize until the cows come home and call everyone in the country a racist until he turns blue but itÂ’s not going to convince anyone that theyÂ’re not paying an arm and a leg for half a cart worth of food.

There is no more basic thing to people, and itÂ’s off the hook.

I donÂ’t see how the Republicans could possibly mess this up. Then again, after a lifetime of watching them do just that, if thereÂ’s way theyÂ’ll find it.

I smell "teen spirit"? Something is going on with leftards. Detroit is hammering their Teacher's Union. Mass is spanking their PSUs. And now PA is going Old Testament on welfare recipients. Methinks the polls we are seeing don't tell the full story. Things be bad in bamaland. Or, this is the foundation being set for the re-election campaign. Is Bammy finally going to run on "I'm the only one that can tell them to pull up their pants" campaign? From a strategic point of view, I don't know that the Pubbies would have a response to that.

Mark my words- Obama will win because Republicans can't put up a reasonable alternative. Oh sure, all the die hards will hold their nose and vote for any imbecile that the Rs run, up to and including Ron Paul (Yup, admit it. If it was a choice between r3VOLUTION and 4 more years of Hopenchange... you'll be a Ronulan)

@69 Who didn't expect that?  Businesses can't raise prices to pay for higher fuel costs.  So they are cutting jobs.  Acme food stores in suburban Philly just announced 900 mostly part-time jobs will be eliminated.  This morming I went to my local grocery to pick up the day-old bread for the food pantry, and there was a new guy working back in the stockroom.  I talked to him and he said he is a laid-off accountant who had been out of work for 8 months and was grateful to have a $10 an hour job.  When I got to the food pantry, they said they were close to empty since it is the end of the month and so many people have run out of money for food.

There are so many For Sale signs on businesses and empty stores around here it feels like the 1930s. 

And this is in supposedly "affluent" Bucks County.

No one is listen to these harridans anymore. ALSO please do remember PA Dems were never enamored of The O. We had a significant (over 10 percent I think) primary win here for Shrillary. When I voted (yes, kill me, I'm registered D) the atmosphere was oddly hopeful - we really thought our primary was somehow going to matter! And everyone was very excited about voting for Hill. oh wells. THAT didn't work out but, hey, whatever. Even we slow-thinkers in PA can learn to change. Maybe. I don't know. I was scared a bit by the Toomey thing. But then again he hasn't really impressed me all that much in office. That said - OMG Arlen is a private citizen! that is still sweet

About 75% of people in the Scranton -- Wilkes-Barre area are vehemently against natural gas drilling. Statewide, I'd guess at least 50% are. The state is full of idiots.

81 I am debating whether PA is a tease (like normal) or is really reachable by the pubbies? I really feel Sarah could connect there like no other, but am told by the smartest people in the room (MFM) that she is divisive. So what am I to believe? That a button down grey flannel pub can beat a button down grey flannel messiah? Shoosh, this is confusing.

82 I've been to Wal-Marts in Raleigh, and those were great, but here in Pasadena, CA, the only Wal-Mart we have anywhere near us (in Duarte) sucks. Bad service, store is a mess, display models all broken, etc. Prices no better than Target, selection inferior. Absolutely no reason to go there.

Just to show you how much things have changed in Bucks - in 2006, GOP Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick won Bucks by 1500 votes (while losing the overall district), Obama carried it in 2008, but 2010 Fitzpatrick won it by almost 100,000.  The dipshit he beat, Patrick Murphy, was once a Democrat darling who voted the straight Pelosi line.  He got beat so badly that he won't run for this seat again, he is going to run for state AG.  This supposedly "swing" county is now solidly GOP, thanks to Obama.

 Bush is responsible for any (alleged) bad grades that BarryO may, or may not have received.

85 90. Well, it depends on whether you want the votes of the "independent" SE PA wimmens (and their beat-down husbands). Cos those ladies (and I am nominally one of them I guess) will NOT vote for Sarah or Michelle (or Christine, ha ha ha). Mittens/Daniels/Pawlenty would work well here.

86 BUT! I want to stress you might be able to win PA without the demo I am speaking of. There aren't THAT many of them, honestly.

87 @90 Tom Corbett is about as gray flannel as you can get, and so is Pat Toomey.  Tim Pawlenty would do very well here, as would Mitch Daniels.  The last poll I saw on Palin had her not doing too well in PA.

The only passable name is Daniels, and outside of you and me, I think there is a good dozen or so people who know who he is. Does the candidate have money, excite people, and have a consistent message? Those are the winning characteristics - not point papers.

89 You are racist for pointing out my typo.

90 BlackOrchid - those are the ladies who are freaking out right now over high gas and grocery prices.  Also, a lot of us have kids trying to go to college now and we are hard pressed to pay for that.  I can't tell you how many kids I know who are not going to their dream schools but are going to Temple or Pitt instead because Mom or Dad doesn't have a job and can't afford to send them to NYU or Villanova.

Sing hallelujah.

I am sure, however, his poll numbers will skyrocket after his Oprah show. (not)

92 Mark my words- Obama will win because Republicans can't put up a reasonable alternative. Oh sure, all the die hards will hold their nose and vote for any imbecile that the Rs run, up to and including Ron Paul (Yup, admit it. If it was a choice between r3VOLUTION and 4 more years of Hopenchange... you'll be a Ronulan)

The catch is that the indies will either vote "thank you sir, can I have another" or stay home and they are the ones that decide elections.

Thanks for all the concern.  Concern is such a misunderstood concept.  I'm concerned too.  So concerned that my friends are concerned. 

There's no such thing as an independent anymore.  The lines of demarcation were drawn over a year ago.  The independent paradigm was broken in the 2010 elections and it will remain that way in 2012 if this nation can survive that long.

93 Hahahaha  Obowwow called in by Orca because Orcas network is faltering.  That is pathetic.  When a POTUS owes a talk show queen so much he has to make an appearance on her network instead of playing golf, or God forbid, take a trip to Al, TN, GA and offer empathy and assistance to the tornado victims.  How many Katrinas has O had that the LSM has failed to notice Obowwow's complete indifference to? 
Have I mentioned what a disgrace this Anti American POS is lately?

94 They say that when a president falls to 42% he never recovers.  This is because the majority has lost faith in his core substance.

Although I have no idea at this point whether Trump will run and if he does, win in the primaries, I do know one thing.  He is giving our equivocating milktoast candidates a great lesson in taking it to the opposition and ball-busting.

95 I agree, Soona. Things are pretty crazy right now. People out here, they're pretty pissed off. I'm always surprised. There's a lot of anger, stress . . . who knows what will happen. But usually PA just stays barely on the wrong side of national elections. We'll see if that changes. I certainly hope so.

Arguing about which GOP candidate could do best in PA is stupid. If gas and inflation remain high, any candidate (except Palin*) could beat Obama.

*Because women hate Palin.

But Intrade has Obama up by 20%!!!!!!!!


Damn, I'm slackin'. Almost missed a poll thread.

Posted by: In before the troll at April 28, 2011 02:23 PM (7YzRS)

98 2nd poll in a row (first was,lol, DailyKos' PPP) showing Obama underwater by 10 points in Pennsylvania. 2nd poll in a row to show Obama getting beaten in a critical state. New Hampshire is trending the same way (UNH poll showing Romney beating him there by 7)
