I'm seeing Red

Let's hope that this trend stays this way come November.

Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.

Gallup adds:


Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010 to 2011 in most states, with Wyoming, Connecticut, and Maine showing a marginal increase, and Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, Arizona, West Virginia, Michigan, and Georgia showing declines of less than a full percentage point. The greatest declines were in Hawaii, South Dakota, Nebraska, and New Mexico.

In potential Election 2012 matchups, it’s President Obama 47% and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney 43%. However, if former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is the Republican nominee, the president holds a double-digit lead, 50% to 38%.

You can look at polls and statistics any way that suits your fancy.

If Romney would quit his whining, even I, a card carrying Liberal ,might vote for him.

Even with his whining why wouldn't you vote for him? Romney isn't an overt socialist, he's a Natural Born American Citizen, and he's not a Muslim so he can't be any worse than the incumbent. Besides, he's a card carrying liberal too. Even I'm voting for him if he's the last RINO standing after the GOP Convention.

For starters, Romney is a Republican regardless of how moderate. I'm pretty sure the President is a Democrat not a Socialist. That's one of those third party guys, isn't it?

I think Obama is a Baptist. Granted, he's not a Presbyterian but not everyone is - no big deal.

Natural Born Citizen? Hawaii was a state before Obama was born, wasn't it? I have 4 nephews and a niece who were all born in foreign countries to American citizens. One of them was actually born in Jordan while her mom was a missionary. Johanna is as American as my Wisconsin in-laws. Three nephews were born in Mexico. They are American Citizens same as me and I was born at Jenny Edmundsen Hospital in Council Bluffs Iowa.

Romney is so whiny I think he might be French....Just Sayin....

One is a political party, the other a world-view, these are 2 different things, not an either/or. Add-in his self-published writing that he would take a Muslim view toward things when given the need to choose. He is currently the President, he is (by current position) the titular head of the Democratic party, and he and those he surrounds himself with are clearly committed to ripping away values that have sustained this country quite nicely through many peaks & valleys.

He should move to Greece... or Pyongyang, or just back to Chicago. His only value is as an object-lesson to those still counting themselves as Americans.

We will weather him and his ilk; but it's awfully tedious.

I truly hope so, but I never put too much faith in polls especially ones this early in the contest.

No sir you are incorrect Obama is a Golfer. IIRC he has been to about 2 church services of any stripe since becoming President. He has how ever hit the links on may Sundays.

I think I will hold my nose and vote for Romney. Perhaps he will not piss money away and the same rate as the current President.

That's funny. Is he Baptist? No. He's a golfer.

obama's actions suggest he is a European Socialist. Much of what he says in public is hogwash. He has not much of an intrest in a Christian based faith. It is safe to say that he is no supporter of Israel or its religious base.

I like the map, by the way. I also hope it continues through November 2012.

Both parents? I thought it only had to be one. And I thought it didn't matter what the citizenship is of the parents, if the child is born inside the US.
