News Poll Finds Three in Four Americans are Not Socially Connected to Mitt Romney
By: Victor Trammell
According to a news poll conducted by Esquire/Yahoo, about 75 percent of Americans feel they have nothing in common with Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney. However, Obama, the incumbent did not fare too much better in the same poll. About 60 percent of pollsters showed they feel the same way about the Democratic presidential nominee.
Mitt Romney does not seem to be distancing himself from recent remarks he made earlier this year at a fundraiser donor event that was videotaped and posted online by Mother Jones Magazine. These new numbers are bad news for a Romeny who is struggling to connect with ordinary Americans. The margin of error for the survey, conducted shortly after the Republican and Democratic national political conventions, is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Further complicating the Republican ticket’s image problem is that a Romney presidency is viewed as significantly more beneficial to wealthy Americans than a second Obama term would be. Sixty-two percent of those surveyed said that weatlthy Americans would be better off under Romney than Obama. That split reverses when Americans were asked who would benefit the poor. 57 percent say Obama would benefit the poor and 30 percent say Romney would benefit the poor.

If business background professionals were interviewed they would tell you they have a lot in common with a man who knows how to generate wealth and jobs, instead of a welfare state that keeps people poverty stricken, idle and in the criminal justice system.
If Rommney is so much into genrating jobs, he would have done it by now with his own companies here instead of outsourcing and globlalizing his riches outside of the U.S., he’ll be nothing but a free meal ticket for the rich to not pay their fair share of taxes.
He has a liars face. that tells everything, he reminds me of that senator John Edwards with the rich boy good looks. Money is everything to this guy,people who have no money mean nothing to him.
Who are these people asking in the polls? Nobody is asking me??? Romney can’t be trusted because he already said how he feels about 47% of Americans he could care less about. I’m sick of him quite frankly. There is nothing he could say from this point forward about the “Middle Class” that would make me beleive him. Crook, Crook, Crook!!!
