Republicans don’t like the looks of this…

Let’s see, do I have this right? …

Presidential candidate is an unpopular, secretive douche nozzle who cheats on his taxes and ties dogs to car luggage racks? [Check!]

Social welfare policies are hated by Americans, especially seniors that vote in disproportionate numbers? [Check!]

Have given up on “family values” in favor of “fetus values” in apparent attempt to turn away votes from all women? [Check!]

Continued slavish devotion to utterly failed, and transparently fraudulent “tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs” economic policies? [Check!]

So where does this leave us?

Regardless of whom you support, who do you think will win the election?

Obama 58%
Romney 36%

(USA Today/Gallup Poll)

Ouch!

From Gallup:

Americans’ prediction of who will win is significant since they have generally been correct in predicting the winner of past presidential elections.

D’oh!

More (it’s not just Gallup)… this is a repeat observation from Saturday:

Even though the AP-GfK poll has Obama by a point, when asked, the public figures Obama to win 58-32, up from 49-48 from December 2011. The CNN poll from Aug 8 had the public thinking Obama would win 63-33.
