Morning Jay

Does Obama Really Believe He's Still Popular? | The Weekly Standard


Jay Cost says up to 25% of his support is gone.   If that holds up at election time, he cannot possibly win.  So, is that the case?  

I'm not so sure.   It may well be that he has lost 25% approval, but does that translate into 25% swing at the polls?   Probably not.  

People that do not approve of Obama may vote for him anyway.   Perhaps not with great enthusiasm, but as the lesser of two evils.   In fact, that is the way he seems to be running things- he runs against the evil that he has claimed to have indentified, but not as a positive force in his own right.
