A major freak out is occurring on the right as a new poll released by a Republican polling company has found that 20% of Republicans are more likely to vote for Obama.
The poll done by Republican polling firm Wenzel Strategies for World Net Daily found something similar to my own recent analysis of state polling data that the 2012 election is beginning to look like a replay of 2008. The Wenzel/WND poll turned up the surprising statistic that no matter who the Republican nominee is, one fifth of the Republican voters surveyed are leaning towards voting for President Obama.
The only Republican candidate who doesn’t lose at least 20% of GOP voters to Obama is Ron Paul, and he loses 19%. The poll found that 54% of those surveyed believed that Obama had exceeded or lived up to their expectations, and 47% said that he had not. Sixty percent of Independents thought Obama has met or exceeded their expectations as did 52% of moderates. In the head to head match ups with all voters polled Obama leads Romney, 48%-41%, Gingrich, 50%-36%, and Santorum, 49%-34%. Ron Paul fares best against Obama and he trails the president, 44%-40%.

The truth is that the far right is freaking out because they don't understand how so many of their fellow Republicans could consider voting for a president that they can only see through their Marxist/Socialist delusions about him. The reality is that the imaginary Obama they see isn't the same as what the rest of America sees.

Might mean that 20% of Republicans have a brain?

The GOP politicians have damaged this country's economy so badly via their dedication to supporting whatever is solely in the best interests of the 1% and are proposing even more destruction if they regain power that I would be surprised if it isn't more than 20%.
There are charts linked at the article below that explain what has happened since 1980 where we essentially had a Bush in the White House for 20 years.

The right freaks out?
I don't know why. They've been disenfranchising and insulting minorities, LGBT, women, the elderly and students for some time now. Are they that stupid, to think these groups will support them after all that?
The percentage is most probably higher than 20%. It's also likely to get higher by the November elections, by the looks of things. I KNOW there are sane republicans out there who are sick of the clowncar, the extremist rhetoric and the unwillingness to do anything for this country, because they can't stand the president being where he is.
Now they're even twisting Clint Eastwood's Superbowl ad spot into something vile.
And they expect the majority of America to support them?
There's a term for that, and it's called mental illness.

#3 - Thu Feb 9, 2012 11:55 PM ESTeasyjjgrand3: Could you please enlighten me as to WHAT there is to see in this president? That is anything of value to the citizens of the USA? I have watched him since 2006 and haven't found anything of value in him and it has certainly shown many people that he is NOT qualified to hold any Political office. Now if he was living in the 40's he could live in Germany, France, Italy or even France and he would be happy there. He is not going to change us to what he wants us to be and I guess you don't know that what he wants is to DICTATE to us our entire lives just like those men in the above countries did to their population. Of course there were people that defied their Dictator, BUT they didn't live very long after that.

i have given up on trying to talk to those, Like Golly, who cannot...WILL not see anything positive in President Obama. we could shout back-and-forth all day, and into the night, and present a list of things that President Obama has done, and she, Dolly and the rest of the far wrong-wing conservatives would still say it just ain't so.
i was watching someone ask Steven King about this damned contraceptive mess, yesterday, and he never did answer the question of whether the compromise President Obama decided on was sufficient to easy his, King's troubled mind. King kept going off on a tangent on things that had nothing to do with the question...i just changed channels.
i;ll be damned if i'm going to sit there and listen to two people talk past each other, one asking a specific question, the other answering with something totally irrelevant to the question...neither given in, or give up...it is useless to try to try to converse with those who are THAT intransigent.
life is simply too short to do so !!!
luv,

Some people seem to completely disregard that the United States is a nation of Baptists, Buddhists, Catholics, Wiccans, Quakers, Methodists, Mennonites, Mormons, Muslims, Pagans, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews, Amish, Atheists, Agnostics, theists, deists, mystics, and everything in between.
The survival of our country depends on religious tolerance. In order to keep the peace, no religion can be favored over another. Our laws must be secular to protect everyone's religious freedoms.
However, it is refreshing to read about the people leaving the GOP for whatever reason.

I hope the poll holds true, the Tea Party / GOP doesn't have much to offer.

I think that this poll will bring out more of the extremist rightwing fringe rhetoric.
