Shock poll: Wealthy, not middle class, support Obama By PAUL BEDARD \| MAY 1, 2013 AT 5:10 PM President Obama's approval numbers are starting to mimic Mitt Romney's. According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, it's the rich -- not the poor or middle class -- who back Obama more despite his 2012 campaign attacking the rich. The poll found that fewer than half of those with incomes less than $100,000 per year approve of Obama's performance, while he enjoys a 54 percent approval rating among those with incomes higher than that. Those earning less than $40,000 a year disapprove of the president's performance, 51 percent to 45 percent. Those earning $40,000 to $100,000 disapprove by a rate of 50 percent to 48 percent... washingtonexaminer.com ...While President Obama campaigned for tax increases on wealthy Americans, his policies have favored the wealthy. Unaccountable subsidies for companies — including the bankrupt solar company Solyndra – take money from American taxpayers and give it to wealthy investors. These subsidized business owners were among Obama’s biggest campaign donors during the 2012 election... ...Disapproval from poor and middle class voters has many convinced that the country is heading in the wrong direction. Nearly 60 percent of adults believe the United States is on the wrong track. Only 27 percent support the current direction of the country. capitalisminstitute.org Its not really so much "his policies favor the wealthy", as they favor the wealthy he likes. He wants to take from those he doesn't like and give to those he does.
