IBD/TIPP Poll (Investment Daily) and the Independent vote.

In 2008, Obama won over the Independent vote by a margin of 54%. Today, according to Investment Daily and its polling entity, TIPP Polling, that total has reversed itself in the most exacting of values. The poll, released two days ago, shows a 54% to 36% opinion against Mr. Obama. I think that most interesting, in view of the fact that Obama has been pulling every trick in the book, since April, and has gained no ground in the various polls.

We are a year away from the election, actually, 11 months, a bit too far out to draw any conclusions except for the obvious. Understand that Obama cannot win re-election unless he can repair this particular set-back. 60 million patriots voted against him in 2008. In the coming election, if that total rises to 68 million, Obama gets to take a permanent vacation.

The turnout for the 2010 midterms might be a forecast for what lies ahead. 56% of the electorate voted Republican and just 39% voted Democrat, in that election, nationwide. In 2008, Obama won with a 53% - 45% vote in favor of the Democrats. In round numbers, that "53%" translated into nearly 70 million votes with 61 million voting in the negative.

Point of post: the numbers have been against Obama for nearly two years, now. This post is simply confirming the fact that nothing has changed.
