2011 is irrelevant to 2012.

What this report tells me is what I already knew. Obama received support of about 10% of the Republican usual voters in 2008. Obama was supported by Republicans who cheered him on and are now aware of just how incompetent Obama has been and know that the nation cannot survive with four more years of Obama. His policies and executive orders have been hurtful and anathema to this great nation. mj

Romney: Jobless College Grads Show Obama Has Failed By Sara Murray Reuters Mitt Romney smiles as the crowd applauds at the end of a rally at a Consol Energy facility outside Pittsburgh on Monday. SOUTH PARK, Pa. Mitt Romney pointed to high unemployment among young people Monday as an indication the president’s economic policies have failed. “I saw a report this morning that just about half of all the kids coming out of college can’t find work or are underemployed,” Mr. Romney told voters at a campaign stop here. “Can you imagine?” Mr. Romney was referencing an Associated Press report that said, among young college graduates, half are either unemployed or have jobs that fall short of their skill level. About a week ago, Mr. Romney told high-dollar donors his general election message would focus on “jobs” and “kids,” as he makes the pitch that President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy has damaged the prospects for young people. Mr. Romney will be joined by Sen. Marco Rubio at a campaign stop later in the day. Mr. Rubio, a freshman senator from Florida, is seen as a potential vice presidential pick. Mr. Romney has grown fond of citing Mr. Obama’s pledges four years ago as evidence that the president has fallen short. “On his own measure – people getting good jobs that can pay a mortgage, he’s failed,” Mr. Romney said. “It’s time to get a president who can succeed.” Lately the former Massachusetts’ governor’s message is wholly focused on tearing down the president. But he offers few details on how he would remedy the economy. On Monday he vowed to balance the budget and cut programs but didn’t offer specifics on either issue. Meanwhile, the team he has set up to hit those goals has found it to be a struggle. As he closed out his first appearance Monday, Mr. Romney made a rare nod to the upcoming primaries, which Pennsylvania along with four other states will hold Tuesday. “I’d like you to go out and vote in your primary and give me your support and show that we’re ready and willing to take on President Obama,” Mr. Romney said. But he quickly pivoted back to the general. “Then I want you to work over the summer to get your friends to think about voting,” Mr. Romney said. “I need your help for Nov. 6.” Sara Murray covers the 2012 presidential campaign.
