    Poll: 71% of Obama voters, 55% Democrats 'regret' voting for his re-election

    H2 Note: The ONLY reason Barack Obama was reelected is because the globalist wing of the Republican Party REFUSED to nominate a true Conservative, instead nominating an insider elitist who after the election stated he did not really want to run in the first place. There are ZERO indications the Republicans intend to nominate a true fiscal and moral Conservative who has genuine best interests for America and the average American yet again, and in 2016 Hillary Clinton stands a better-than-ever chance of becoming your next president.

    Poll: 71% of Obama voters, 55% Democrats 'regret' voting for his re-election

    80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.
    Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.

    Conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the new poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, but also deeply dissatisfied with Obama who has so far failed to capitalize on his victory over 15 months ago.

    The poll asked those who voted for Obama's reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”

    — Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.
    — 80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.
    — 84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.
    — 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.

    Still, given the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy, 79 percent to 10 percent for Romney.

    But his voters seem to have moved on and are ready for the next election, giving Obama very early lame duck status before the midterm elections. The poll, for example, found that Hillary Clinton has a higher favorability rating than the president. While Obama is underwater in his ratings, Clinton is buoyed by a 50-percent favorable to 43-percent unfavorable rating, with a sizable 28 percent rating her “very favorable.”

    As for Romney, his favorable ratings have dropped, but he would edge Obama by about three million votes, probably because Americans are not wowed by Obama's second term performance, not because they like Romney more.

    Said the poll: “In YouGov research conducted from February 6th-7th, we went about it in a slightly different way, asking people who voted for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama whether they would do it again. We found an ostensibly similar picture: 90 percent of people who voted for Romney would do it again, compared to only 79 percent of Obama voters who would.

    “Clearly Romney fares better, although he had fewer voters to begin with. As a proportion of the voters each of them actually received in 2012 (66 million for Obama and 61 million for Romney), the GOP candidate ends up with 55 million votes retained to Obama’s 52 million. Not exactly a wipeout. It’s also unclear for any poll that hypothetically revisits 2012 how much it says about renewed hope for Mitt Romney — who has notably been liberated from the scrutiny of a presidential campaign Â*— rather than about dissatisfaction with an incumbent president who has spent the last year defending his administration over leaks, scandals and Obamacare roll-outs.”

    Astounding Numbers of Obama Voters and Democrats Regret Voting for Re-Election of America's Messiah



    Kyle Becker | On 18, Feb 2014

    It was supposed to be the era of Hope and Change.

    A post-racial president transcending the red state, blue state politics of those dark, nasty Bush years of 5% unemployment or less and sub-trillion dollar deficits – nirvana for the smart-set smug that one of their own, a loquacious Harvard-educated representative of the elite class sansthat annoying Texas drawl, and a professional agitator to boot had strode aloft the marble steps of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

    The One for whom all of America had been waiting for, the fundamental transformer of the world’s most piteous economy, had finally ascended to the Oval Office, the precipice of power from which the dictates of progressive conventional wisdom would rain down upon us like so much manna from on high.

    From the One’s circuitous office bestriding the concentric rings of Washington District of Columbia, the affairs of hundreds of millions of men would align within the Orbit of Obama. Like planetary dust falling upon the gravitational path of this giant among men, the lives of mankind were to become but a beauteous adornment for this American Saturn, this towering transformational figure reminiscent of the Roman god of abundance and renewal.

    Never mind all that. An overwhelming majority wish the president had never been re-elected. From an Economist/YouGov poll via the Examiner:

    Over seven in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama’s reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll. [...]

    The poll asked those who voted for Obama’s reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”

    — Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.

    — 55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.


    Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy over Mitt Romney, 79 percent to 10 percent. Since Mitt Romney was the “moderate’s moderate,” it might be time for the GOP to consider giving voters a starker choice.

    The progressive status quo that has been ongoing for a century is clearly not working, and as hard as it may be for Washington beltway types to believe, a lot of people don’t want less of big government, they don’t want big government at all.
