Poll: Romney has support from 47%

[RandySF]

Mitt Romney has said that “47 percent” of Americans “are dependent upon government” and will vote for President Barack Obama “no matter what,” but a new poll suggests many of those people support the GOP nominee instead.

Among registered voters who earn less than $24,000 annually, 34 percent support Romney, versus 58 percent for Obama, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.

The numbers improve for Romney with voters earning between $24,000 and $36,000 annually: 41 percent for Romney, 53 percent for Obama.

In a leaked recording from a May fundraiser in Florida, Romney said that “47 percent” of President Barack Obama’s supporters “pay no income tax.”

1. 34% is not much...and how many of them will actually drag themselves to vote?

Sure, it's sad and pathetic...but it all fits to a bell curve - and seems to be inevitable!

2. That's not what Romney said.

He didn't say 47 percent of Barack Obama's supporters pay no income tax. He said, or implied, that the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income tax are ALL freeloaders with an entitlement complex and a victim mentality, and they will ALL support Obama no matter what.

3. This is wrong

Those people are now largely FORMER supporters.
