Wenzel Strategies took a survey. Results. Not good for Obama.

 Independents like "bipartisanship"  and "world peace"  and the like.   This is why Obama is doing so badly with this demographic.  While the general population rates him at 48% on average,  Independents disapprove by a margin of 49% with another 15% on the fence.  Independents care less for economic hard times and more for stability.  They tend to be investors,  albeit, modest investors.  They are turned off by harsh political discourse and deception and,  again,  they are very disappointed in Barack Obama.   The following survey caught my attention with a headline on Drudge (a news portal I use for headline discovery) that suggested  “20% of Republicans might vote for Obama.”  I saw the headline and decided to check out the source,  which is the survey quoted be low.  While 80% of Republicans will vote against Obama,  there really is no good news in this survey.

DECEMBER 18, 2011 – (Reprinted from WorldNetDaily.com) – Nearly half of registered independent voters rate Barack Obama’s performance in the White House as “poor,” and they are abandoning him in droves in the run-up to the 2012 election, according to a new poll.

The results are from the public opinion research and media consulting firm Wenzel Strategies of Ohio.  The poll was conducted Dec. 5-7 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.26 percentage points.

 It shows 80 percent of Republicans, 51 percent of independents and 13.4 percent of Democrats “definitely” will vote for someone other than Obama. Another 21 percent of independents, 12.2 percent of Republicans and 8.8 percent of Democrats are “considering someone new.”

The bottom line leaves only 38.5 percent of the respondents who will “definitely” vote for Obama again.

The results show that of all registered voters, 44.4 percent rate Obama’s job performance as “poor” and another 13.2 percent give him an “only fair” mark. But for independents, those figures are 49.8 percent for a “poor” grade and 15.1 percent for “only fair.”

That makes a huge difference in the poll where Democrats, as expected, rated Obama “excellent” (37.8 percent) and “good” (34.8 percent) while Republicans largely put him in the “poor” category (74.9 percent).

The results are clear: 47.8 percent of all voters will “definitely vote for someone else and 13.7 percent are considering that.
