K&R if you like Obama! (This one is "mega-style"!)

73. People "like us"? I *am* one of those "people like us".

I'm not trying to dismiss or attempt to "delegitimize" genuine and heartfelt emotions even if I had that kind of power. Which I don't.

All I'm trying to say is, I just don't listen to people when they have an insatiable need to throw public temper tantrums. When my children were in that phase, I ignored them. They soon enough learned I would listen to them in earnest if they approached me with the same respect they seem to expect from me.

And as for rising sand, I believe it hasn't, according to the latest CNN poll:

The narrative that Obama is losing the base was debunked by a new CNN poll which found that support for the renomination of the president has tied an all-time high.

The CNN poll found that overall 81% of those surveyed thought that the Democratic Party should nominate Obama again. Only 18% of respondents thought that the Democratic Party should go with a different candidate. Eighty one percent of both Democratic men and women support Obama running for a second term as the Democratic nominee. Non-white Democrats (84%) supported the president more than white Democrats (78%).

Those under age 50 supported the renomination of Obama (83%) a bit more than those over 50 (78%). Democrats making less than $50,000 a year support renominating Obama five points less (78%) than those who earn over $50,000 a year (83%). Despite the claims by some who believe that Obama is too moderate, more liberals than moderates believe that he should be nominated again, (91%-76%). By a margin of 84%-16% Democrats believed that Obama should be the Democratic nominee in 2012. Independents also think that Obama should again be at the top of the Democratic ticket, (75%-23%).

This poll makes it difficult to make the argument that Obama is losing the Democratic base, when 84% of Democrats support nominating the president again. Overall support for his renomination has jumped nine points in the past month (72%-81%), and tied the high that the president reached in June and October of 2011. The lowest support for Obama’s renomination was 70% in August 2011.
