Independents Abandoning Romney


Greg Sargent flags a striking finding in the new Pew Research poll:

In November, Mitt Romney was beating President Obama among independent voters, 53% to 41%. Now those numbers are upside down: Obama tops Romney among them, 51% to 42%. That's a net 19 point swing of independents in Obama's direction in three months.

1. Wonder what they think of Santorum?

I assume the ones who want to go back to the 13th Century might like him a lot.

2. POPCORN, Get yer POPCORN Here....

3. That's what happens when your campaign is based on nothing but attacking

and tearing down your opponents with negative ads. Almost 100% of his ads in Florida were negative. Rmoney has shown no hesitation to use these tactics funded by millions of dollars in Wall Street money. He also stashes his money away in foreign bank accounts to avoid paying taxes.

Independents see this and they begin fleeing. Rmoney is now a broken and tainted candidate.

4. It's the economy stupid

As long as things continue to improve, the independents will tend to be on board. They are the most "pocket book" voting bunch of them all.

5. The GOP's going to have to split into 5 separate parties

to accommodate the diversity of their nutjobs.

6. The more they know about Romney, the less they like him. This will be true of Santorum also,

should he happen to get the nomination. And independents already know they don't like Newt.

7. Sounds good

The news seems to be getter better for Obama all the time, at least at the moment. Hope we can keep things up until November.
