1 million people attended the Obama inauguration, and only 14 missed work..........
So, so true. His base are the lazy, the leeches, and the dewy-eyed, socialistic college kids who think they know everything.
Well according to John Lott you are wrong. I don't know anything about him but i would guess a guy who wrote a book called "more guns less crime" is a conservative....
The wealthy have been the most loyal Obama supporters
Are the wealthy who support Obama trial lawyers and others who make their living off of liberal Democrat policies?
Affluent
Americans are Barack Obama's most secure class of support. They have
stuck by this president at three to six times the rate of all other
income groups since early 2009, based on a RealClearPolitics analysis. .
. .
Obama's approval rating has plummeted by 24 percentage
points among those with a household income that is less than $50k
annually. He's dropped 13 points within the $50k to $100k bloc over the
same period. And he's fallen 17 points within the $100k to $150k bloc.
What
about those households with income exceeding $150k? Obama has merely
declined 4 points, based upon Gallup polling from February-March 2009
(after Obama's honeymoon ended) to June-July 2010. . . .
But few
of Obama's affluent supporters have turned on him. That's the salient
point. In effect, almost half of affluent adults can be considered part
of the Democratic base.
These are the Americans who especially
don't vote their economic interest. They are more likely to identify as
liberal, live in a city and reside near a coast.
They are also
less likely to be a serious casualty of the financial crisis. The Wall
Street crisis came to define the Great Recession. But about three in
four job losses have been blue collar. That suggests affluent Democrats
are not only voting their social interest over their economic interest.
They are also less likely to have their current political allegiance
questioned by their economic interest. .
