Poll question: Obama approve/disapprove with Primary preference |
|
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 12:25 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Please answer honestly, not to promulgate a desired perception. Thanks.
Your primary preference is yours to characterize. If you loved Dodd but Obama was a close second and you went all-in for Obama after New Hampshire I would call that Obama support, but it could be Dodd support. Your call.
Please resist any temptation to get into what DU calls "primary re-hash" about who anyone should have supported. Thanks :hi:
Interpretive note: Kuccinich always had huge support here, and Edwards, Richardson and Biden had many fans. So it will probably be a mistake to interpret the results, whatever they may be, as an Obama/Clinton thing. DU had a much wider range of candidate support than the nation as a whole.
Do you approve or disapprove of the job President Obama is doing, and did you support him or someone else in the primaries?

If you see this particular inquiry for information is intrinsically disruptive that's what it is. Fair enough.
If I was seeking an outcome I could understand your disapproval, but I'm not. I tried to make it a simple, honest poll. I am curious. I do not know how the poll will go, which is why one conducts the experiment.

2. I supported Obama in the primaries. I don't approve of the job he's been doing |
|
Now whether this is him revealing his true self or whether this is a result of some kind of deal he had to make to keep a contested convention from happening is not certain in my mind, but we cannot afford a Democratic president who fails to make hay when the sun is out as far as progressive issues are concerned. The republicans get a lot of bad things done when they have power and we need to do a lot of good things when we have it, or our field position will get shittier and shittier.

9. My first two choices for 2008 were Dean or Gore |
|
Unfortunately neither of them jumped in, and Kucinich was out by the time of my state caucus. The media got the race they wanted: The Black man vs the White woman.
The White woman was a Clinton, who was running on corporate mandates for health care and talking about "obliterating Iran". She was not even an option.
The Black man, Obama, was saying some things I wasn't comfortable with, such as staying in Afghanistan. But he was also borrowing heavily from the Dean campaign strategy, and I believed he would at least be better than a DLC Clinton retread, if not my ideal candidate. So I caucused for him. And I campaigned for him. And I donated what I could afford to.
And what did I get for it? Rahm Emanuel, Larry $ummers, Timmy the Elf, Tom VilSuckingMonSatan's cock, and other assorted corporatist tools. And the horrible but very real idea of making health care in this country WORSE than the status quo. :evilfrown:

15. supported him the primaries, volunteered locally in his campaign, helped to turn my state blue |
|
for the first time since LBJ.
I really admire many things about Obama. He's a great public speaker.
But I have had it with the human rights abuse in this nation known as privately-controlled health care.
