1. Interesting data.
Edited on Mon Sep-26-11 02:59 PM by CakeGrrl
Dems are holding at 80% support.

Given the current dustup over the MHP article and the responding articles, I'd be interested to know the racial breakdown of the 20% of Dems who disapprove of POTUS' job performance and the ~24% of Dems/Libs who don't think he should be renominated. Just saying.

Where IS this 'liberal abandonment' of which the MSM/PL speaks?

2. MHP doesn't refer to specific evidence/polls when it comes to white liberal abandonment of Obama
Melissa Harris-Perry pretty much just pulls it out of her ass.

3. Opinions on MHP's commentary notwithstanding
It would be interesting for someone to get the demographics of the consistent 20% who disapprove of the President's job performance.

10. Hmpf! They tell us how we think, how we feel, how we'll vote 14 months from now...
Edited on Tue Sep-27-11 10:46 PM by Liberal_Stalwart71
then have the nerve to be offended when we raise the issue of how patronizing they are. Hell, I've been politically active all my life. When I turned 18 in October over 20 years ago, I couldn't wait to vote! And yet, despite my political activism, despite the civic engagement of my entire family and my friends, I do not know one single person of color--NOT ONE--who has ever been asked to participate in a political survey or opinion poll. No exit poll or survey. No phone survey. Nothing!

So when someone who doesn't know anything about me and how I feel--or how my family and friends feel--tells me what I'm going to do 14 months down the line, I say that they are full of shit.
