Poll: Voters Don't Think Romney Cares About Their Problems

Source: Talking Points Memo

Pema Levy - 6:53 AM EDT, Tuesday October 2, 2012

A majority of likely voters believe that Mitt Romney doesn't care about their needs and problems, according to a new poll released Tuesday from Quinnipiac University. Respondents believe that Obama cares about their needs and problems by a 22-point margin, 60 percent to 38 percent. In contrast, a majority, 51 percent to 46 percent, believe Romney doesn't care.

The results mirror recent polls showing voters believe Romney's policies will benefit the rich rather than the middle class -- a significant problem for the Republican candidate.

The poll was conducted Sept. 25 - 30 among 1,912 likely voters nationwide and has a margin of error of +/- 2.2 percent.

One short thought about Wednesday's debate. What they will be thinking..

Romney will be thinking about how he can save his campaign and his image.

Obama will be thinkiing about how his election will save medicare the safety net that democrats have created for the poor and middle class in the last 75 years.

Romney has lost because he is an arrogant, stupid, insensitive rich bully/asshole.

And he is being helped by the same. (except they clearly aren't rich)
Only an arrogant, stupid, insensitive, rich bully who has always or almost always got his way, wouldn't apologize to people who he has hurt.. that he needs to carry out his plans. Like ...the 47%..
If he apologizes on Wednesday, during the debates, it is too late and all of us know it, but him and his crew. The time to say it was wrong, was within the first 24 hours after it came out. Some kind of sincere "I'm very sorry, and I was very wrong,." might have helped then. It is too late, people have made up their minds on him for good.And those of us who know who he is, a selfish self centered asshole, are correct. He can go back to his homes and watch tv. He will get to think about this for a long time. He has no clue.. Maybe he will get a clue later. The U.S.A is not Bain Capital.

During the peak of the railroad days, there was an express train called the Twentieth Century Limited between Chicago and New York. It left Chcago at about.., although I am not sure, 6 or 7 pm at night. Fourteen hours later, or close to that, it was in New York. First Class always on time..
... Picture some high level executive at the New York Central...getting to the station at 11pm asking the station master, "Why didn't they hold the train for me?" "After all, I am the VP in charge of Fright Service?" The station master tries to explain that the train leaves every day at the same time, and waits for no one. It has a time schedule, stops a a couple of times..and that is it.. Over again, the exec says, "Well I still don't understand, why didn't you keep the train from leaving..for me.." The station master, and a few conductors with may years of service, who happen to be there, just walk away.. The VP is just too stupid to understand. That is Romney. Just to add a last point. It is Todd Akin too. You know, there is another one who doesn't have a clue..

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
