In a previous post, we mentioned Bill Katz' post about Pres BO losing support with white men.
Now we learn that Kristen Powers has a similar message:
"A recent ABC News/Yahoo! News Poll found that many Americans have lost faith in the American Dream, with only half of them believing it is still achievable.
The people who feel most disenfranchised—and who plan to turn out in droves to vote against the Democrats this fall—are men. (Men prefer the GOP candidate over the Democrat in their district 45 to 32 percent, while women prefer the Democratic candidate 43 to 36 percent, according to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll.) "

The economy is a factor.
However, it goes beyond that.
I think that Pres BO is having a hard time connecting with men over national security, the border violence, business bashing, and the class warfare rhetoric.
David Broder, hardly a member of the right wing conspiracy, is making the same point: The Middle Has Swung Against Dems
Yes, the economy is an issue but this is bigger than just high unemployment.
We say it again: Pres BO is behaving a lot like the liberal that he was advertised to be!
