71% Of Obama Voters "Regret" His Re-Election
Over 7 in 10 Obama voters, and 55% of Democrats, regret voting for President Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll. As The Washington Examiner reports, the poll was conducted to test the media hype about a comeback by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. While the poll found voters still uninspired by Romney, they are also deeply dissatisfied with Obama (though given the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy, 79% to 10% for Romney) giving Obama, as The Examiner notes, very early lame duck status before the midterm elections.
The poll asked those who voted for Obama's reelection a simple question: “Do you regret voting for Barack Obama?”
Overall, 71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.
80 percent of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics said yes.
84 percent of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.
55 percent of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.
Still, given the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with their guy, 79 percent to 10 percent for Romney.
But his voters seem to have moved on and are ready for the next election, giving Obama very early lame duck status before the midterm elections.
...
As for Romney, his favorable ratings have dropped, but he would edge Obama by about three million votes, probably because Americans are not wowed by Obama's second term performance, not because they like Romney more.

Really though, would Romney have been any better?
I regret wasting 2 hours of my life going to the polling place
I don't like to say it, but I think we'd have MORE gun control now if Romney had won. Romney signed an AWB in MA.
Nothing gives some spine to the near spineless in Congress like partisan opposition (as opposed to defending the Bill of Rights).
Yup, the R's would have done that to appear more like D's.
OBAMA is doing the best anyone could given the enormous resistance from the republicans to anything he would propose.
LMAO.......did you accidently click a link over at huffpo?
common got to do better than that ... what do you really expect from Obama or anyone from that matter with this Congress and Republican Party?
I am done voting and having to choose between Crooks or Fraudsters. My choice is very limited in our 2 party dictatorship. Both parties are the same shit. There is no lesser evil among both parties. Both are evil and have destroyed this country.
You need to adjust those numbers due to the fact that many OBAMA! supporters voted twice or more.
71% of Obama voters "regret" their vote
29% of Obama voters are even more fucking retarded than the aforementioned 71%
100% of Obama, Romney or whoever-whatever for voters swallowed the blue pill.
S.O.S. & Mayday, too.
“The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.” William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694, then a privately owned bank
“The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.” The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.
“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people.” Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924.
“The banks do create money. They have been doing it for a long time, but they didn’t realise it, and they did not admit it. Very few did. You will find it in all sorts of documents, financial textbooks, etc. But in the intervening years, and we must be perfectly frank about these things, there has been a development of thought, until today I doubt very much whether you would get many prominent bankers to attempt to deny that banks create it.” H W White, Chairman of the Associated Banks of New Zealand, to the New Zealand Monetary Commission, 1955.
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer.
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company.
“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is, perhaps, the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and un-mint the modern ledger-entry currency.” Major L L B Angus.
“The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.” John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in ‘Money: Whence it came, where it went’ (1975).
This article is one of this biggest piles of crap I have ever read on ZH! Regret? Right. Next thing you know there will be an article about the governments no-risk retirement plan.
And so, yet again:
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal." — Emma Goldman
Thus, as a reminder:
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."
"If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal. ... "
You could write that 100 million times and they would not get it. Most are too full of "Electrolytes" to be able to think clearly about anything anymore.
Someone here correctly called voting "The poor man's suggestion box".
It would seem so, but you are forgetting how quickly things can change.
Just wait for the welfare checks to stop coming and the EBT cards to stop working or and/or what either can buy races away into oblivion.
Then will the Just Say No of our Soviet counterparts come home to roost, as "the law of the vital few" unleashes its world-changing fury:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
So they protest and burn things. Ok. To what end? To change what? Do you think they will ever admit that the handouts were too generous? Do you think they will ever admit to being fooled by the gov't into thinking their labor was worth more than it was?
It's my contention that things are so bad people are living in alternate realities created by government jobs, government spending, EBT, Walmart etc.
The 20% that get it are already on ZH and other like-minded sites. Not certain we even come close to 20% but anyway
You sir, are a troll.
What did you expect when you voted for 0'Bamabot? What is government to do in general? Where will it get the money?
Do better than what? You're here being a fag, regurgitating MSNBC/HP crap. I'll prove your an idiot. Exactly what is the Republican party and Congress doing that is bad. I'll stop calling you a fag if your reply doesn't have the words "cooperation" or "compromise" in it. You people clearly don't know the definitions.
Fucking statists just don't get it. It's not the players; it's the game.
Until the central government is dismantled, absolutely nothing will change.
arius is right at home here on ZH
"the enormous resistance from the republicans". ROFL - the joke of the century. The Republicans need a mega dose of viagra injected into their backbones. They are providing about as much resistance as a wet paper bag.
What'sa matter, Aireass?things slow over at OFA? Didn't the boy king have two years of friends to help before we, the people, said enuff?
FORWARD OBAMA THE ASS NAPKIN!
I disaggree. RINO NWO Romney would be much easier to attack. We could have gotten more gridlock. Gridlock is the best we can offer until idiots wake up and unplug their TVs.
Our system was designed to be gridlocked. We would all be better off if those assholes just went back where they came from and only met for 3 days a year.
But don't realize that voting is your civic duty? That you can't complain about the system unless you participate in the system? Don't you know that voting is a God given right and that to not vote means you do not care? Don't you know that by spending those precious two hours going to the polling place that you contributed to the American way of life? Voting matters. It means that you, a single solitary citizen has a voice in the democratic process. You matter.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Citizen, we're going to need a core sample, so drop your drawers and reach for Hades....
i was looking for a sarc tag, but i will accept vomit
someday we need a candidate with merit
Voting is immoral.
Just like recycling.
It's far less crowded on primary day-- which is the only day it really matters.
From the Zionist perspective, the Country is strong.
From the American perspective, it is near destroyed.
Quit rimming Hitler's anus, you swastika-humping goose-stepper.
Monkey chump choomwagon POS liar. "I will make Wall Street accountable". Oblabla the LIAR.
Can we get a Mulligan on that one?
Mr. Stompie Feet ain't gwain like dis pole.
On the other hand, his continuing plans for a race war seem to be right on schedule. (Soft ch, Bond Style)
He doesn't give a damn about poll numbers. He is doing what he thinks desperately needs to be done and he's well aware nobody would agree with it if he said what his real plan and goals are. He doesn't care about the will of the people, he doesn't care about Congress (obviously at this point), he doesn't care about the law or the Constitution.
This fucking communist president didn't just drink the cool-aid from the radicals he hung out with, he damned near drowned in it. He's the Manchurian Candidate.
He's the first glimpse into how set the whole country on the path of Detroit (plus a heaping helping of 1984-style monitoring of it's citizens).
Re: communist president
Yeah, commies...
The top 10% is richer than ever. The crony-capitalist scams continue to be funded. The "workers own the means of production" (which, I guess now would be McDonalds)
I guess the definition of "commy" is (well) "variable" these days, what with public school education-n-all.
Wrap it in whatever "-ism" you want, then. It's corruption plain and simple. An insatiable power grab. Small few rule the unwashed masses. Monetarily and in every other way. The top 1% lived real comfortable in the former Soviet Union, too. That's where this is headed. And Obama is happy to lead the charge.
I love how we have to continue to be politically correct about the difference between totalitarian regimes. You see in communism the workers own the means of production (but they are really owned by a tiny minority) where as in Fascism the state controls the means of production (although they are really owned by a tiny minority) where as in the other varieites of socialism....
Can we say "distinction without a difference"?
You can only debate this nonsense in the world of theory as it sure as hell doesn't have anything to do with reality.
So call it what you will it's still the same old shit, just another lap around the anakyklosis.
The trouble with the real world is that you have to live with the consequences of your choices, no matter how delusional you might be...
Re: The trouble with the real world is that you have to live with the consequences of your choices
Well, not really. The best thing about being a member of the top 10% is you win regardless of who is the actual sociopath in the whitehouse.
The top 10% owns most of the wealth of the country, they really don't care; they own both Teams.
Plus, the key to happiness is self-delusion. The self-delusional are always happy with their choices.
His Mom was CIA in Jakarta...married to one of Suharto's top General's. That explains it ALL and how the "Prince of Darkness" came to be.
"Dunham studied at the East–West Center and at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu....to address the problem of poverty in rural villages, she created microcredit programs while working as a consultant for the United States Agency for International Development".
United States Agency for International Developement- oh boy during the Red Scare years and in Asia even...sounds like an outfit that might be in Syria or Ukraine right about now, an NGO!
If 79 percent of those who voted for President Obama would vote for him again and 71 percent of Obama voters now inclined to vote for somebody else “regret” their vote to reelect the president...
Then slightly less than 15 percent of Obama voters "regret" their decision.
As of this post, 11 people seem to think so.
Simply tragic. Who was responsible for their education?
Oh, voting.
Next you'll tell me that ZH's VIX trades mean shit.
They had a chance with Ron Paul. Too late.
I don't think Ron Paul ever had any chance
No, and a pretty smart guy posted awhile back:
Ron Paul, the guy who wanted to audit the Fed and crash the dollar?
Most people want the Kabuki show to continue as is. Nobody is going to give up the socialist scam they've been living off there entire lives so that we can have "Freedum" again.
People want safety, not "Freedum".
Correct. No one like Ron Paul has a chance until the idiot masses wake up and get angry enough to burn down the RFK DOJ building.
We will never know. The last GOP primary was beyond a joke.
Recall how the media would not even say his name. If it wasn't clear before that the MSM is owned... that the whole thing is rigged... well, there it was on display in living color.
Made me want to puke for sole reason that things like this could be IN YOUR FACE and people don't even notice. Even for someone that hated RP, just watching this should have sent shivers up and down thier spine. But, alas, most people are idiots.
RP did not stand a chance - BTW. He was controlled opposition who knew the boundaries and in order to have a voice. Case in point are the verbal ping-pong matches with Bernanke in place of what should have been a cage fight. Love RP here - but the game is bigger than him. He pushed the boundaries a little at the end and got shut down... just like anyone else who gets too many people's attention and starts to draw a serious crowd.
Caveat Emptor.
Yep, but NOTICE that "ONLY" 79% would vote for HIM AGAIN!!!.
Who's math we using here?.We have some really pain loving libtards out there.
Caveat Emperor.
Too late, you are pregnant and the birth will require stitches, lots of stitches.
So,
with just the women, Hispanics and independents, the GOP should pick up the majority, next elections.
If only they don't KILL EACH OTHER OFF in the primaries.
Obama gun pay mah mortgage... Obama gun pay mah mortgage!!!
in a perfect world Romney would have shived Obama on stage and took his own life, mass suicides break out on both sides of the party line supporters, the government taken over by a Boy Scout Troop and their parents and my wife walks up to me and say's "I'm so horny"
That would have been an epic day for America and me too.
Re: That would have been an epic day for America and me too.
Wouldn't having the government be taken over by Ron Paul riding on his steed named Free Enterprise, with his giant sword of Libertarian justice dripping the blood of slain socialists have been better?
Schwing!
Yeah, I HAD a wife like that, too.
Come now, post turtle 44 is the first CostCo graduate to make it out of the store. You can't expect too much.
Thanks, you're forgiven, now go kill yourselves.
I think you may be on to something. Even sheep provide some benefit in their wool when they are sheared. What we have is really a parasite or virus. Best to nuke it from orbit... it's the only way to be sure.
How about laser it from orbit?

Creepy.
He's "subpar", as the street art in Santa Monica says.
Is that like "rode hard and put away wet"?
Both put it mildly, though "rode hard and put away wet" implies that no fault lies with him. Certainly he's just a puppet in the big picture, but he's done plenty wrong of his own volition.
Hmmm. See your point.
How about, lower than a snake's navel in a wagon rut?
I don't think voting had anything to do with it. With computers counting ballots who can have any confidence in elections!
had to be
10:1 they would vote the fucker in again for round three if given the option..........
Of course...
Next election, it'll be Hilary and _____ (the exact name doesn't really matter) and 95% of the population will vote for one or the other.
Two Party system is how the scam keeps going.
I "regret" meeting Barry in Man's Country sauna in Chicago (a real dive by the way), but what am I gonna do about it? Tell Michelle?
I hope you got tested . . .
"61 percentage of blacks said no"
That's a huge drop from the usual tribal 99.9% approval.
indeed
Noticed that too but in fairness, it was around 94-96% if memory serves.
I guess, regardless of skin color, no one likes being lied to ;-)
130% in the Philly suburbs, but that's the new math, and noticing voter fraud is "not cool."
A millennial told me that. Seems it's the worst insult he knows. Sorry, stupid, little fucker.
Yeah, I gotta admit the over zealous poll watchers in military fatigues wielding clubs (Black Panthers) was a remarkable example of "democracy" at work...lol.
Even a moron knows when he gets fucked . . .
Only 99.9%? Even 100% is low-balling it.
People vote for mommy or daddy Big-Gov. Which is why the Red and Blue Team keep winning.
Socialism for me but not for thee.
Well, that's not quite true. The Red Team only loves manly socialism, but Blue Team loves all socialism.
I voted for the shit bag the first time around and regretted it before he ever took office. I would never have voted for the other carcass that was offered up so the choice was Barry the Shitbag or nothing. This time around I chose nothing and for the first time in my life I felt like my vote counted. Mine was a vote against the system and they can count on that from me from here on out.
I admire your courage for admitting to that lapse. I quit voting as well.
Every 4 years the choices get worse...that's the way they planned it
All governments view their citizens as milk cows, and when times are hard, as beef cows. Governments never take responsibility for their actions either. - Doug Casey

there , fixed it for ya
If these people really regret it, they need to prove it via suicide.
Romney verus Obama ... like a choice of Syphillis versus Gonoreeha
As much as ZH and we all dislike OBAMA, the choice we were given was the NSA/CIA gimp aka ROMNEY, and US voted for OBAMA.
Can you imagine if ROMNEY were pres? A fucking MORMON?
This NSA biz would have turned out completely different, MORMONS are the most secret fucking liars and fakes on the planet with with funny under-wear, and their secret hand-shakes and secret rooms in secret buildings.
*
The CIA has been recruited mormons boys on bikes since the 1940's, today the majority of CIA/NSA is MORMON, ... take a good fucking look at SNOWDEN,.... a fucking MORMON.
There are quite a few Mormon boy cunts walking around in South America, attempting to brainwash the locals. I say "go the fuck back to the gud ol US of A, you gimps, and leave the Natives the fuck alone...OK?"
Re: with funny under-wear
I donno, I think having a pres with funny under-wear might be kinda interesting.
At state dinners the various big-shots could compare underware instead of class rings.
Gonna take alot to beat J. Edgar Hoover there.
Injuns!!
As the University of Florida, the colors are Orange and Blue. During home games way back when, one side of the stadium would yell Orange and the other side would yell Blue. After a couple of rounds - with the stands filled with drunk alumni and students, it would digress into Morons and Jews. Was pretty funny.
Just sharing ya know... important stuff here.
A fucking Morman. ayeesh! Fucking Obama attended that Christian church led by a fucking homophobic race-baiting minister for twenty years, so what the hell would be the real difference. And rumor is Obama's mommy was a CIA plant anyway. Barry has turned out to be really good fit for the lying, secret NSA spy state and he gets along well with it's chief goons like Alexander and Clapper. Mitty-boy could not have been any worse. Syph or the clap. Let's flip a coin.
no one comments on the
racial bias of the polls population
Is there a racial bias?
i regret their decesion also!
29% of voters cannot understand why you got bamboozled twice.
They know why they are just to shallow to admit it. Or they are .gov workers.
I think about the same amount of voters (29%), do not know that the Earth revolves around the Sun.
You're a prime example on how to keep people dumbed down for personal profits. Shame on you!

More likely a vortex within a vortex. After all, the solar system also oscillates up & down around the galatic plane during its journey around the galatic center as well.
And this just in from the state media: "Worsening U.S. Divorce Rate Points to Improving Economy"
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-02-18/worsening-u-s-divorce-rate-poin...
"Propaganda is stranger than fiction."
"Guillotines cut though the lies."
Whatever the intent of the report, it is true that people divorce less when they are economically uncertain.
Yes, I'm sure thats it. Fifty years of feminist man-hating by the lame stream media has nothing to do with it.
It's the economy.
No its been proven in good times guys leave bitch for greener pasture, in bad times that ugly bitch in your bed, if she has a job she's an ASSet, unless of course your pitbull is better looking.
Fact during economic problems divorce goes down, and during good times guy's run for fresh pussy.
Probably because if you ain't got 'coin' its hard to wine and dine the new gal.
Women too, are more likely to cheat during the good times, ... their boss keeps them after hours for 'extra work', which leads to the infamous older boss nailing and marrying the sexetary 1/2 his age,...
During bad times the little gal is not likely to stay late, given there is no work, ...
Don't overlook the Obamacare effect.
A couple earning a combined income of $90k or less does not get a subsidy for healthcare insurance. If they divorce and can split the $90k in half so each gets around $45k or less they both qualify for subsidies.
Of course they would have to form separate households in order to qualify.

Now ask me if I would be unhappy if DC were nuked while the full Federal government was in session.
That's mean.

Wow... that hispanic 100% "Kiss mi culo, Obongo" must have caused some shrinkage of Dem-libfuck-socialist nut-sacks... especially for the transvestites Sebelious and Mooch and Kagen and Hillaroid... guess the beaneros are pissed about the amnesty fail...
I don't get it; the link to the poll is right there... The poll results don't say what this story says. The poll says that at most 21% of Obama voters wouldn't vote for him again. Was this article written by someone employed in the federal government? Revisions to be added later, once no one is looking?
79 percent of those who voted for President Obama would vote for him again and 71 percent of Obama voters now inclined to vote for somebody else “regret” their vote ...
So the number of Obama voters who "regret" is slightly <15%. Not a sexy headline, but it is nearly 1 in 6, so it's still substantial.
I'm just sorry there weren't a series of debates between Obama and Ron Paul.
Obama_4_Dictator
Obama is a fucking cunt. Fuck him
You say cunt, I say coont.
Vote for Pedro.
We have no real choice. Look at the offerings.
Regretted his RE-election?
That puts me 4 years ahead of my time
and I'm not a very smart person.
Romney was the fucking grandfather of ObamaCare. Granted hw would have been less liberal than Obama but the truth is he'd suck us all dry just the god damned same.
Obama was a trial balloon for TPTB of America's apathy. They now know how to gauge the outcomes of elections due to the poor voter turn out.
With more than 40% of the eligible voters not voting, it is easier to keep the two-headed beast alive.
I still have never regretted not voting
I don't regret that Romney didn't get in. Don't get me wrong, I didn't vote for either one of them dick heads.
What President would have been willing to say, "We've made bad decisions for decades and have spent too much money. Economically, if we take the hit now we can start rebuilding that much sooner"?

seriously, do people actually think things would be different under a different dictator.
seriously. If they do they are more delerious than King Obongo
What's that old saying:
Fooled by him once, shame on him.
Fooled by him twice, I'm a slack-jawed fucking moron.
Sorry but I've to call them what they are suckers. I warned before the first election of Obama, and I warned to vote for him again.
I wrote that in 2008 !!!
Anyone who votes at this point, left or right, up or down, is a tool of the system.
Voting is like paying taxes. You are supporting an utterly corrupt system totally beyond repair.
