Latest Rassmusen opinion poll on NJ Governor Race finds that:
Sixty percent (60%) of New Jersey voters say most of Republican Chris Christie’s winning support last week came from those who were voting against his opponent, incumbent Democratic Governor Jon Corzine.
The finding brings another sigh of relieve in the White House as most of the polling out of New Jersey, including the election exit polls, show voters acted on the premise “all politics are local”. But is this really so.
President Obama was stomping the ground in NJ till the day before the vote. “Are you fired up? Are you ready to go?” – the Leader of the Nation was screaming at the rallies. “No we are not” – answered the voters and elected a Republican Governor.
In most polls out of New Jersey people responded that their voting thought process is not connected to Obama – Obama is good they told the pollsters – Corzine is bad.
NJ opinion polls just continued the trend in which President Obama over-performed as a personality compared to the public appeal of his policies /since Corzine’s polices match obama’s policies/. Is Obama really that cool or is there a possibility that there is a statistically significant number of voters that give Politically Correct and Socially Acceptable answers in the polls related to the President.
In the Fort Hood massacre we saw how Political Correctness blinded authorities and they were not able to recognize the truth thus not able to prevent the terror. The time has come when we must seriously research the impact of the Political correctness on our ability to tell facts from desired reality.
Is Obama’s relatively high approval rating /that does not match his policies approval rating/result of two years of public opinion brainwashing game in which people opposing the Candidate/President were labeled racist, bigots and mobsters. Is the political correctness affecting Obama’s favorability polls or any other important aspects of our life?
It is important to ask this question and research the answer – or we are going to be like those people who complimented the King’s clothes, when in fact the King was naked.

Of course it’s political correctness at play-
that’s the only damn reason he’s in the White House in the first place.
The DNC saw the opportunity to manipulate this -just like with climate change- as a path to power.
But like most frauds… this one’s already collapsing. Can’t wait til we neutralize this twit with a 100+ seat GOP gain next year.

Yes there is a possibility.

Is there also a possibility that Obama IS more popular than Jon Corzine ?

More than just political correctness, but also, a real honest to goodness fear factor.
I don’t know if anyone else noticed it, and I don’t believe it was just my imagination, but many people I’ve spoken conversationally with about Obama were very careful about what they said and who they said it to.

Never in my life have I witnessed people who will “look around” before saying anything negative about the president.
It’s not right and it says something about this guy.

Friends,
This poll should have been taken in November. I think that more than 60% of the public’s support for the President was a vote against the Bush administration and republicans in general. The details of Rasmussen’s article includes the category “voting for change.” The question is what percent in November would have said that they were voting against republicans, as opposed to voting for change, as opposed to voting for President Obama.

Okay, let me clarify.
This poll should have been taken in November of 2008 regarding Obama vs. McCain.
Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Christie had a similar problem like McCain - many republicans voted for him not because they were very exited of his candidacy, but because they were strongly against the opponent /Obama for McCain/Corzine for Christie/.
