WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's winning coalition from 2008 has crumbled and his core backers are dispirited. It's now Republicans who stand to benefit from an electorate that's again craving change.
Nearly two years after putting Obama in the White House, one-quarter of those who voted for the Democrat are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against the party in power this fall. Just half of them say they definitely will show up Nov. 2, according to an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll released two weeks before Obama's first midterm elections. While no president can be expected to fully rally his supporters when he's not on the ballot, the survey illustrates the wide scope of Obama voters' disappointment with the president and his policies almost halfway through his first term — and two years before he's likely to seek their backing again. "He's not listening to the majority of the people who elected him. It's like he's ignoring his base," said SaraSue Crawford of Jacksonville, Fla., who points to Obama's health care overhaul law. Gerry D. Kramer, 70, of Georgetown, Texas said he's among the Obama voters who are likely to vote Republican. "I was hoping we'd get some more civility up in government. That was implicit in his promise, along with some change. It turns out that he was driving more toward the changes rather than civility,". To a certain degree, Obama's woes are a consequence of his 2008 campaign, when he was a blank slate and many people attached their hopes to him. Now, two years in, liberals, moderates and conservatives alike who supported him are disappointed for various reasons. Obama voters who are voting for Republicans or are undecided are especially doubtful about the Democratic Party's ability to handle the economy among other things. |

The Economy and National Security arn't Democrat's strong points.(With the exception of Lieberman who rocks). |

The only strong point of the DNC is making promises to extend welfare to everyone and spending money that is not theirs.

The only strong point of the DNC is making promises to extend welfare to everyone and spending money that is not theirs. And holding hands with terrorists around a campfire singing Kumbya. |
