In reply to the discussion: Regardless of what you think about Obama, a vast majority of the party still loves him... [View all]truedelphi
(32,324 posts)Since only 80% of 36% of the population falls into the pro-Obama demographic that you speak of, your headline is rather meaningless.
(That is when pollsters find 36% of all Americans feeling themselves to be loyalists to all things Dem leadership.)
Even with a higher number of Dems, 80% of 42% is not a majority.
Obama won in 2008 because people with R's after their name voted for him. Indies voted for him.
And he won again because he ran against a man whose principle views were the same on many major issues, except for Rmoney wanting women to step back into the 15th century.
Most people in this country are sick of the leadership in both parties. And the reason for that is they can clearly see that Big Money is running the political show in those parties.
