Obama Defectors Heading to GOP
This has been going on for awhile and the stampede is not slowing : President Barack Obama’s winning coalition from 2008 has crumbled and his core backers are dispirited. It’s now Republicans who stand to benefit from an electorate that’s again craving change. Nearly two years after putting Obama in the White House, one-quarter of those who voted for the Democrat are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against the party in power this fall. Just half of them say they definitely will show up Nov. 2, according to an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll released two weeks before Obama’s first midterm elections. Obama’s not on the ballot and there’s little reason for the people he turned out in 2008 to get motivated to show up Nov. 2nd.
