Gallup: One-Third Of Lowest Income Voters Support Romney

[MCWAY]

A third of low-income voters supporting Romney is not surprising. About the same voted for Bush, according to a CNN exit poll after the 2004 election.

Romney didn't say anything about them. What he said was "All right -- there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing."

Those 33% who support Romney and the similar number who supported Bush DO NOT think that way. Therefore, Romney isn't referring to them.

hold on a minute you forgot the rest, the one that puts them in the 47% 





There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.

Can you actually READ? If those people don't believe they're victims nor that the government is supposed to take care of them, nor are they entitled to (fill-in-the-blank), chances are they are NOT voting for Obama. So, Romney's not talking to those people.

And, as I stated earlier, this number of people about matches the number of low-income voters who supported Bush.

 household incomes are less than $24,000 a year support Romney

These are people who pay no income tax.

Are they the people who will vote for Obama, no matter what? Obviously NOT.

Are they people who feel like victims? NO!

Do they feel entitled to (fill-in-the-blank)? NO!

Romney qualified the people to whom he was referring with those statements. Contrary to what you and other lefties are trying to spew, it was NOT a blanket statement on low-income people.

Indeed, some of them did. But, others are backing Romney.

It happens, just as there are rifts on the Dems' side. We saw it, when Obama flipped on gay "marriage", and over Obama's "You didn't build that" comment.

I guess we'll see in 5 or 6 days, where the polls are sitting

it's been over a week, and Obama's lead has grown.

Tied in Gallup, Obama up 2 in Rasmussen, nationally.

Similar leads are in the state-by-state polls (battleground, that is), according to Rasmussen.

If one third of the lowest income voters support Romney, ...who will the other two thirds be supporting?
