57% Southerners: Obama doing a better job than Bush

The Plum LineGreg Sargent's blog CNN Poll: Majority Of Southerners Says Obama Has Done Better Job Than Bush

This finding from the new CNN poll is buried deep in CNN’s article, but it’s striking. According to the network’s polling director, Keating Holland, the internals show that a majority of southerners thinks Obama has done a better job than native son Bush:

Fifty-seven percent say Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush; only a third say Bush’s track record was better.

“Compared to Obama, Bush does fairly well among southerners and rural voters. But even in those categories, a majority still says Obama has done a better job than Bush,” says Holland.

Obama’s numbers have generally been far worse among southerners: A recent Research 2000 poll for Daily Kos found that Obama’s favorability rating in the south is a meager 28%. Another recent survey found that a majority of southerners either don’t believe Obama was born in the United States or are not sure.

According to CNN, though, a majority of southerners still prefers Obama’s performance to that of Bush — yet another measure of how abysmally unpopular the former president remains. I’m trying to get the internals with the exact numbers and will update if I get them.

Would this be the very same southerners that all of you moonbat libs on here tend to look down on, the same people whose views and actions you usually dismiss as the ignorance of a bunch of racist, redneck, white trash, cousin fuckers?

Are we to believe that, NOW, their views mean something to you and should to everyone?

Or, as I suspect, will you value their views only on this one matter, or actually, only when their views on matters agree with yours and you believe can somehow be used to promote your personal agenda?
