Democratic loyalists are beginning to panic about President Obama’s re-election prospects, according to this report in the Washington Post. The latest cause for alarm is a memo
from Democracy Corps, a research group headed by Democratic pollster
Stan Greenberg and political consultant James (“it’s the economy,
stupid”) Carville. Based on their analysis of focus groups conducted in
late May among swing voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Greenberg and
Carville say that the current campaign message — which stresses progress
made towards economic recovery — is out of touch with the daily pain
voters are feeling.
The authors urge Team Obama to switch to a new narrative that focuses
on what Obama will do to make a better future for the middle class.
Otherwise, they say, “we will face an impossible head wind in November.”
OBAMA IS TOAS!
