red states rule

Seems Obama's nonsto, whining, buck passing, and temper tanturms is not doing him any good.
President Obama has been campaigning almost non-stop since Labor Day (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/holidays/labor-day.htm#r_src=ramp), but his political fortunes have hardly improved. Obama’s September blitz through swing states, backed up with an aggressive media schedule, has apparently yielded little for the embattled incumbent.
A new Quinnipiac University poll shows Obama dragging a 42 percent job-approval rating in Ohio and already evenly matched by Republican frontrunners Rick Perry (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/rick-perry.htm#r_src=ramp) and Mitt Romney (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/politics/mitt-romney.htm#r_src=ramp) in the all-important Buckeye State, where Obama has campaigned twice in three weeks.
And so it is across the states where Obama has focused his efforts in this first round of campaigning.
In Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania, 51 percent of voters said Obama didn’t deserve a second term. In Virginia, the lynchpin to Obama’s 2012 strategy, a Roanoke College poll found the president with a 39 percent rating. In North Carolina, the great Obama success story of 2008, a High Point University poll finds the president with a 41 percent job-approval rating.
Obama has succeeded, though, in bucking up base voters and quieting some calls for a primary challenge. Even as he has been crisscrossing swing states making his case to disaffected middle-class moderates, Obama has been making a tightly targeted effort to energize gay activists (including having Lady Gaga (http://www.foxnews.com/topics/entertainment/music/pop/lady-gaga.htm#r_src=ramp) on hand for his California fundraising swing and speaking at a banquet for the leading gay political group, the Human Rights Campaign, this weekend) and to show dispirited black political leaders that he shares their outrage over the current state of affairs (“Take off your bedroom slippers…”)
