election demonstrated, he lost the Independent vote. The last numbers I saw on Independents didn't look good for him at all. Most of those Ind. were left-leaning, and with so many Democrats disappointed, and IF he sells out on SS, there will be many, many more, I hope he can get some Republicans to vote for him. I guess that's what they are hoping for.

Otoh, knowing how things are going, he may decide it was a very, very bad idea after all as Bush did before him.

As for the 85%, you could count most DUers in those poll numbers, no democrat is going to tell a pollster they do not support a Dem. President. That would be like saying that we support Republicans. That's unthinkable. I know I would not. I wouldn't place too much importance on those polls.
