New Poll Finds The More People Learn About Romney, The More They Dislike Him

By a more than two to one margin, Americans say that the more they learn about Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, the more they dislike him, per a new Washington Post / ABC poll:

Overall, 55 percent of those who are closely following the campaign say they disapprove of what the GOP candidates have been saying. By better than 2 to 1, Americans say the more they learn about Romney, the less they like him. Even among Republicans, as many offer negative as positive assessments of him on this question. Judgments about former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who denounced Romney on Saturday night in Nevada, are about 3 to 1 negative.

1. No, that's wrong. They're just envious.

If everyone else "just forgot" that their wife had THREE MILLION DOLLARS in a Swiss bank account, they wouldn't be so "envious" of Rmoney.

2. Bwah! nt

4. The more they learn about Ann Romney, the more they dislike her AND him!

Her demand that Nevada supporters "listen" and "obey" her while she's talking was...well...a bit Marie Antoinette-ish!

Just imagine if Michelle Obama had done something like this? No, wait. I couldn't even imagine.

10. When you have so much money

It's probably much easier to forget $3 million. His bank account sees over $20M in brand new dollars every year - $3M is a drop in the bucket. Not to shamelessly self-promote too badly but I made this little calculator at www.mittbucks.com that shows how out of touch that kind of money can make you. And I think that's a big part of why this poll finds these results. He can't help but say things like he's "not concerned about the very poor", because it's removed from his daily life by too many orders of magnitude to count.

3. I'm feeling the same about Santorum. Not that I ever liked him, but just rather ignored him. But

after some of his recent remarks, I've got a hate on for the scumbag.

5. What's to like? For one thing, he finds it very easy to lie.

Every word out of his mouth about Obama is an egregious lie. Which collapses with only the hint of a fact check.

Every politician lies. but with Romney there is nothing else.

6. Not surprising when there's so much to dislike

7. Gingrich has it even worse ...

9. To paraphrase Bob Dole...

people take an instant dislike to Newt because it saves time.

11. Dole also described the current GOP front runners...

"See no evil, hear no evil, and Evil."

(Said when Dole attended an event with former Presidents Carter, Ford and Nixon.)

8. Quelle surpris!

there is something about him that repulses me even more than gingrich or the others.
