This is a really curious statement, especially when contrasted with JZ Analytics polling data from last week. Of the 9.9 percent of voters who said they were undecided, about 40 percent said they earned $50,000 a year or less. Do you really think undecided voters in middle- and low-income cohorts are going to be drawn to Romneys harsh rhetoric?
5. We speak with voters across the country about their perceptions. Those are the people that I told youthe 5 to 6 or 7 percent that we have to bring to our side. They all voted for Barack Obama four years ago. So, and by the way, when you say to them, Do you think Barack Obama is a failure? they overwhelmingly say no. They like him. But when you say, Are you disappointed that his policies havent worked? they say yes...
They love the phrase that hes over his head. The best success I have at speaking with those people is saying, you know, the president has been a disappointment. He told you he'd keep unemployment below 8 percent. Hasn't been below 8 percent since."
Obama made many promises when pushing for his federal stimulus package in 2009, but according to PolitiFact.com, This rephrases a tired GOP charge that consistently gets Mostly False or worse ratings. Many Republicans have claimed that Obama promised his stimulus package would keep the national unemployment rate below 8 percent. But Obama never made such a vow. PolitiFact reported that it came up with a list of 508 pledges of specific action Obama made when he was running for president and monitors how hes performed on each one. The list does not include any promises to reduce unemployment.
