MITT ROMNEY boosted one aspect of his public opinion problem with his convention. Taken before the DNC meet in Charlotte, an important point to remember, Obama’s favorable numbers with women registered voters has plummeted.
Now we’ll have to wait to see what the Democratic National Convention does for Democrats, but especially Pres. Obama.
The first night went as well as Democrats could hope.
But it’s important to note that Obama’s numbers fell with register female voters after Romney’s convention.
It illustrates that while health care and reproductive access are tremendously important to women, today’s modern female is a lot more likely to vote on economics. The perception of Mitt Romney as the guy who might be able to tackle the economy at a time when wrong track numbers for the country stay well above 60% is still something Pres. Obama has to address.
So, watch the economic message as you take in the Democratic National Convention. Democrats must extinguish the questions and doubts voters have about Pres. Obama on the economy.
This poll hints strongly that women are more interested in the economy than reproductive health care.
I don’t get it. Romney has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to convince me he can improve the economy for the middle class and poor or create jobs. He has a proven track record of making money for investors, which is a whole different ball game.
Helping people’s money make money is not the same as creating a job. And the people who have the money have proven they don’t believe in allowing it trickle down, in fact they are darn good at hiding it and hanging on to it.
So why these registered women voters are convinced he can do better is a puzzlement to me.
Well, to turn the question around, is there anything about Mr. Obama’s past as a Community Organizer and Adjunct Lecturer that made you believe that he could create jobs? Is there anything in his recent history as President that would lead you to believe that he knows how to create jobs?
This never, ever, ever computes, but presidents don’t create jobs UNLESS THERE IS A JOBS PLAN THAT INCLUDES INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING. This is what Republicans have been blocking for years.
Presidents do create an atmosphere that inspires business to invest, but to do that the middle class has to have money to spend, because WE are the job creators through the engine of demand.
With the middle class being squeeze for the last 30 years, along with the economic collapse, we’re finally seeing what happens when the main engine for our economy, demand created by the middle class, is starved to death through increasingly depressed wages.
Your answering another question. I’m asking why anyone would be convinced that, given Mr. Obama’s past as a Communit Organizer and Adjunct Lecturer and his political past as a State Senator, Senator and then President, that he could create jobs as ladywalker expects of Mr. Romney. It is not just the disparate professional experience that Mr. Romeny and Mr. Obama have, it is the managerial qualities that they have exhibited that will lead voters to pick one over the other. Mr. Romney, by virtue of his success at Bain Capital and the 2002 Olympics, has demonstrated that he has the capapbilities. Mr. Obama, on the other hand, through his hands off style with the BP spill, the crafting of the Recover Act and AARCA, has not demonstrated an effective management style.
I asked you first. Nobody has yet made a compelling case for Romney. They always turn it around and point at Obama. As Bill Clinton said in his speech tonight..paraphrasing…8 years of the Bush Rule trashed the economy and because Obama couldn’t fix the entire mess in less than 4 years they want us to fire Obama and give it back to the guys who trashed it in the first place.
Let’s stop talking about what Obama has or hasn’t done.
What will Romney do that will fix things, what is in his record to convince me he can do any better than Obama? That will make my personal economy any better than it is?
Specifically, how will Romney help create jobs and get us back to work and decent paying jobs????
Pres. Obama is paying for not making the economic case his entire first term; not even in the 2010 midterms did he mount an economic message. He then signed on to Republican economics that December. Now his job is on the line & he & Dems are touting their record on the economy, which people don’t feel good about. FEEL the operative word.
The wrong track numbers on the economy are very high and haven’t budged.
These voters are not convinced on Romney, but the problem is they don’t believe Pres. Obama has a handle on the economy after 4 years, with a positive case being made for him coming at election season landing late and ringing false. That’s a HUGE problem and Team Obama-Biden knows it.
It’s why Bill Clinton is “riding to the rescue.”
The odds electorally remain in Obama’s favor, but it will be a slog.
It proves what I’ve surmised for some time & have written before, that women today appreciate reproductive health care, but modern women are much more focused on the economy & what it means for them. It’s simply a new era where women have moved beyond one-issue voting, WAY beyond.
“Obama’s favorable numbers with women registered voters has plummeted.”
No worries, mates. I had a nationally renown political analyst tell me in no uncertain terms national polls of registered voters are not worth the paper these are printed on.
Choom can already take this election to the bank. I think it would be more interesting to discuss what he will grade himself on as “incomplete” at the end of the next four years.
