some people just don't get it that the Republican leadership does not care about them. Otherwise the GOP should have been gone for decades.

I will be in shock if Obama consistently polls or wins by more than 5%. I know a lot of people who do actually think this way and they aren't even wealthy..they just think they are better off than these mythical moochers. Also, a lot of other people use don't watch the news or current events anymore and just vote for who their mom/dad/husband/wife tells them to vote for.

Then again, his base is not going to get him elected.

If he can keep his base, get a few independents and shut everyone else out through voter laws, he thinks he wins.

Romney does not care.

Obma hatred trumps Romney Plutocracy. There are plenty of people who would vote for a dead snanke rather than vote for Obama. Romney will never lose those people no matter what he says.

but I think that is less than 30%. That is why I picked 40%. I would hope the non Obama haters would turn away from Mitt in disgust.

who don't hate Obama but are low info voters. Their thought is "well, things still suck lets switch captains again. These are not ideological people or informed people, they are basically just ignorant. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure there was a poll where 41% of people even said they would vote W Bush over Obama. If that doesn't make your heart stop...
