1. lol...did you read the whole article? The headline is somewhat misleading.
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 11:34 AM by SemiCharmedQuark
"The survey found that those likeliest to oppose Obama's re-election include men, older people, those without college degrees and whites. Those groups mostly supported his 2008 Republican opponent, John McCain.

Three in four Democrats want Obama re-elected while nearly 9 in 10 Republicans oppose it. Independents lean slightly against Obama, 46 percent to 36 percent."


And which Democrats want a primary challenger for Obama?

"Sixty-one percent of Democrats who said in spring 2008 that they were backing Clinton now say Obama should face an opponent for the party's nomination."


And the overall results?

"The 1,254 randomly chosen people in the survey are from a group that was polled 11 times during the 2008 campaign by AP, Knowledge Networks and Yahoo News. The poll finds that over that period, Obama has retained most supporters while seeing some erosion:"



How is that shocking in any way?


Also note the huge margin of error among Dem voters...almost 7%.

2. AP article.
All they do is bash Obama and the Democrats. They get the Doomer of the Week award.

4. If it's bullshit, why waste time posting it, reading it, or even thinking about it?
