....are you saying you don't need me on election day?

....Obama quoted Biden on 60 Minutes yesterday saying, "Don't compare me to the Almighty, compare me to the alternative."

....there's a lot of truth in that statement, why do I still feel unhappy?

President Obama's Gallup approval rating amongst liberal Democrats for December 5th-11th is 84%. [View all] LoZoccolo Dec 2011 OP

Whatever that means gratuitous Dec 2011 #1

It does mean something. phleshdef Dec 2011 #2

It means liberal Democrats have seen the Republican field. n/t Scuba Dec 2011 #3

At what date in the past had they not yet seen the Republican field? LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #6

They've seen them all along, ergo the continuing support for the President. n/t Scuba Dec 2011 #7

OK. But if the "centrists" are to be believed, "liberal Democrats" represent a small fringe element Romulox Dec 2011 #4

These posts are meant to refute claims that Obama's liberal supporters are leaving him. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #10

What percentage of his supporters would you describe as "liberal Democrats", though? >1%? >5%? nt Romulox Dec 2011 #12

His overall Democratic approval rating is 77%, so I would imagine it's a sizable number. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #13

That doesn't even attempt to answer the question. nt Romulox Dec 2011 #16

His conservative and moderate Democratic approval ratings are less than 77%. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #25

Thanks. Rex Dec 2011 #26

Boy, does this kind of news piss off a lot of people or what? n/t Sheepshank Dec 2011 #17

It does if one is convinced that he's CakeGrrl Dec 2011 #19

No, you're just regurgitating those memes because you... ClassWarrior Dec 2011 #21

What has you more concerned, CakeGrrl Dec 2011 #30

Both are just as damaging to the President. ClassWarrior Dec 2011 #40
