Only 20% would re-elect Obama

A new Washington Post poll is out.

It found only 20% said they will definitely vote for President Obama in 2012.

Another 33% would consider voting for him.

44% said they will definitely not vote for him.

It is small wonder, therefore, that Civil Columnists on the Left keep calling the Tea Party terrorists, members of al-Qaida, carjackers, hostage-takers, etc.

They have a presidency to save.

How effective is their over-the-top rhetoric?

The poll asked: “Who is to blame for the government’s focus on the wrong things – (mainly Obama and the Democrats) or (mainly the Republicans)?”

30% said Obama and the Democrats. 30% said Republicans. 32% said both equally.

That’s a pretty even split.

So maybe the public looks at Washington and sees them all as terrorists, members of al-Qaida, carjackers, hostage-takers, etc.

And if Americans vote out the people in power in Washington, Democrats can kiss their jackass goodbye.

Then there was this revealing question:

Thinking about the major problems facing the country, would you say [the president] has made progress toward solving these problems, tried but failed to solve these problems, not addressed these problems, or made these problems even worse?

                    Made     Tried but   Not          Made
                    progress    failed  addressed   problems
                                                      worse
 Obama 8/9/11       19         42          7           28
12/8/08  Bush       13         34         11           37
10/30/95 Clinton    24         50         11           12

Now stop to think about that a minute. After the government shutdown, only 12% of Americans said Clinton made problems worse. That’s 2 months later in his presidency.

More than twice as many say that about Obama.
