The results of a USAToday/Gallup survey of thousands of registered voters in Barack Obama’s twelve must-have states presents bad news for him and his party. However, true to form for the Democrat-boosting media, the worst of the news was buried. Initial online versions left out critical portions of the story, and the truth was only available in the newsstand version of the article.
The survey showed Republicans are more engaged in following the issues of next year’s election than Democrats by a stunning 20 points (68 percent to 48 percent).
As new party registration data underscore, voters are turning away from the Democrats in these swing states. Since 2008, those identifying as Democrats has shrunk by four points, and those declaring themselves Republicans has risen five points.

Republicans: 68% engaged + 32% not engaged = 100% of Republicans
Democrats: 48% engaged + 52% not engaged = 100% of Democrats
68% – 48% = 20% more Republicans are engaged.
Hope this clarifies for you.
They are tired of backing a loser.
They got what they wanted, the first “black” POTUS in history. The “thrill” is gone.

I fear that Obama will win….I have a fear of those FEMA camps if he does. Obama will win by fraud if he has too. I hope there are people looking out for that. We cannot afford another president like Obama .
