"How can Obama be in a dead heat with Romney given the dismal state of our economy and world standing?" they ask themselves. "How is this man not losing the presidential horse race by a mile?"
I believe the answer lies in the increased role of government to provide for the basic needs of many citizens.
Food stamp rolls have expanded.
Disability benefit recipients are up.
More people rely on government moolah to stay in their homes and apartments.
Should Romney win, this rattled half of the population fears that its federally funded food, phones, transportation, and shelter will go away.
Mitt Romney has been cleverly labeled by the opposition as a miserly businessman out of the Dickensian era who will stop at nothing to grind the poor on the millstone of austerity--and this label has stuck.
Out of this primal fear of survival, Obama endures in the polls.
