Obama got a net positive approval immediately afterwards
also, he easily trounced Romney the following year
All that matters is the averages, and Obama's average polling did not change
Obama only won re-election because his Black Horde showed up
it remained consistently positive for over a month
although he still would have easily won with our without bin Laden dying
Yep
by the way, fun thought experiment
If you were transported to January 2011, and were mind controlling Mitt Romney, what would you have him do to beat Obama

I would've fought back much harder
I talked about this before
Fight back against Biden's slavery remark
and claim Democrats want to demographically replace White Americans
As a response to what Biden said about blacks, I would say "Obama wants whites to be slaughtered in the streets"
But of course Romney didn't fight back because,
well,
muh principles
"The 2012 election was extremely close. 375,000 votes flipped in the proper proportions in four states would have tipped the election. Thatās .17% of the electorate.
There were several āmomentsā and tactics in the 2012 election that better message and campaign management would probably have been enough to turn those votes. Hereās a short list off the top of my head.
Better clarification on the ā47%ā remark. Romney never seemed to explain this statement, which is factually correct but politically awkward, very well.
Harder pushback on the Crowley error in the debate, where she attemped to factcheck him (and was wrong in the process).
Serious outreach to the Christian voters in the GOP. Mainstream Christians consider Mormonism a cult, and many stayed home because of this issue. Romney could have acted to negate this objection more strongly.
Weak messaging on the ACA. Romney clearly felt like he could not attack Obama on the ACA because of Romneycare. Romney should have pushed hard using his knowledge of both plans to explain why it was foolish to try to scale those state-based ideas to the national level.
Harder messaging on his business experience. For all his experience, Romney did not hone his economic message very well. He should have refined it down to a few bullet points, stated what he expected the economic results to be, and went with it. Instead, his campaign left it a bit loose.
Anyway, those are the ones what come to mind."
what do you think of that answer
It was close in the swing states
"375,000 flipped in the proper proportions in four states would have tipped the election"
FL, OH, NC, etc.
If Romney could've energized more White people,
he would've won
easily yes, 4% more
Obama's brainless negro bloc was lock-on by default
LMAO
Quora is really cucked
from that same link
Duh

"And while itās not part of your question, in 2016, I personally expect Mr. Trump to get fewer than 60 million votes. I assume Sec. Clinton wants to get more than the 69.5 million votes than Mr. Obama got in 2008, and I will be watching to see if she gets > 70 million votes."
well that's just silly

"Yes.
The narrative this election cycle has operated on a false equivalency narrative. Clintonās e-mails are somehow the same as Donald Trumpās history of sexual assault. The Clinton foundation is a slush fund in the same way as Donald Trumpās charitable organizations are slush funds. This is the last ārealā election because it will likely be the last election where white people make up the majority of voters. Itās pure insanity.
Letās talk about facts. The Clinton campaign relies on things like data and analytics to guide them while Donald Trump uses his Twitter feed. Oneās a pro the other is a wannabe. The truth is that this would not be a close election were it not for the utterly ridiculous āre-investigationā of Clintonās e-mail server. Clinton has had a healthy lead throughout this race. Take a look at the polling from 538:"
"But, seriously, I donāt know any pollster who thinks either Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado or New Mexico are going to Trump. Those are going to be in the Democratic column. And in the same breath I donāt know anyone who thinks thereās a scenario where Hillary wins Georgia, Iowa, Arizona or Maine. To me, it seems unlikely that Hillary will win Ohio as well, but because Virginia and Nevada are likely to go her way that doesnāt matter. Hereās where the race actually is if you call the race as the polls tell you to call it."
good old nostalgia
"Trumpās only chance in this election was to turn some blue states red and if he wins Ohio, which he could, then he will have done more than I thought he could, but it still wonāt be enough to win the election. Building a firewall is how you win elections. Thatās what worked for Obama in ā08 and ā12 and itās what will work yet again for Clinton in 2016. You can argue that the polls are wrong (which Trump supporters like to do) or simply shout: āthe election is rigged.ā Neither of these things changes the facts however, which is ironic because it is the facts that Mr. Trump has been so averse to acknowledging that have been the real story of this election. You couldnāt fact check a Trump stump speech because so little of what he said was actually true. This was, in many ways, the post-truth election."
"Now, these models are based on a conservative prediction of how the election could go. Clinton could have a much better night than anticipated by any of the forecasters and that would make sense since so many pollsters are playing it very close to the vest after repeatedly counting Mr. Trump out during the primary season. The reality is this however: Latinos are very motivated this election season and that is very good news for Hillary Clinton. What weāre seeing from early voting is that turnout is going to be strong among minorities and if thatās the case on Election Day weāll be looking at a much different electoral map on Election Night; one where frankly we may not need to wait until 11pm EDT for the election to be called."
Yeah I'm just going to go to work on what we have ahead
