Front page Yahoo news. Now I subscribe to the Week at home and this is the biggest bunch of crap I have ever read. Sounds like they polled only white republicans WTF is wrong with Yahoo news? Of course I wouldn't go near the comments as I would be puking in my toilet now.
" Americans really wish they elected Mitt Romney instead of Obama"
Mitt Romney 2014?
Americans are so down on President Obama at the moment that, if they could do the 2012 election all over again, they'd overwhelmingly back the former Massachusetts governor's bid. That's just one finding in a brutal CNN poll, released Sunday, which shows Romney topping Obama in a re-election rematch by a whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent. That's an even larger spread than CNN found in November, when a survey had Romney winning a redo 49 percent to 45 percent. The saving grace of this news is they admit to "taking this poll with a grain of salt" But why even take this poll and report this unless you are trying to plant a negative narrative for right wingers to use as a talking point. Our media sucks.

Two years ago, Obama won re-election with about 51 percent of the vote.
Of course, the poll should be taken with a grain of salt. While Obama is actually taking on the tough task of leading the nation, Romney is sitting comfortably on the sidelines where he is liable to receive a more favorable reception. Still, the finding comes as foreign and domestic crises have sent Obama's approval rating tumbling back to 40 percent, per Gallup.
Also in the CNN survey, a record-low 46 percent say Obama "shares [their] values," while only 49 percent say he is "sincere in what he says," also a record-low.
Yeah the America is disappointed that they didn't elect the guy who outsourced their jobs overseas, destroyed good companies by piling on debt causing people to lose their pensions, and don't forget we really wanted a cold Mormon draft dodger to run the country.

(34,589 posts)Whether by design or by incompetence, the US economy is still a disaster for the 99% after 5 years of Obama being in the White House, while the 1% have never done better.
Of course Americans are angry as hell.

(7,719 posts)They're not quite as blatant in their lies as Fox, but they pick and choose what gets air-time, and it seems overly biased to the conservative side. So, I don't watch it, except for weekends when MSNBC has Lock-Up on. And then only to catch the major news stories. I take all their polls with a grain of salt because I do not trust CNN to be fair or balanced. When you hire dick-heads to oversee things, you get dick-head news...thus, CNN!
