Even though their numbers in America, in the Dem party and probably even on DU are tiny, to hear them tell it they speak for BILLIONS of disappointed liberals. Just don't ask for any type of data to back up those claims.

I used to correct folks on that one, as this is a more specific poll.

Still, his support among liberals in general is still impressive, at 74%.

Just like how they LOVE the idea of selling foreclosed homes in bulk to investors to be sold as rentals. That's SOOOO 'progressive'! After all, 'progressive' only means 'moving forward' and we are definitely headed somewhere! He's teh most 'progressive' president EVAH! I bet FDR would have sold homeless people's houses to investors himself if he had a chance!

These crazy fundies are really scaring away the older demographic, which is quite interesting.

2008 was the year of the youth, will 2012 be the year of the elderly?

That's all it took. Obama isn't perfect. far from it, but that band of freaks they call "Republican nominees" is downright scary.

How is Capt. Bipartisan doing with the largest group, i.e. moderate independents? 31% approval. Ouch.

He can't win without them.

Keep spinning.
