starting to look like a lost cause for obama, you know. in our own congressional poll we do in the washington journal. it just drops off the map on almost any question that you with think might be some place where they can find common ground. we a we had a question about food stamps. why men thought there should be no extra money for food stamps. they like the cut. you would think that the guys on the precipice of unemployment would be more sympathetic no that. they re not. i always imagine driving along route 40 or something, raeg old highway, not 80 on 80, but a regular highway. there is a stop where men go after a hard day s work and they may be there late friday night talking at the bar. what do they say about obama? working guys. what do you think the conversations are like? i think the conversations are pretty rough. i think i couldn t repeat a lot of it on the air.
i want to give you a shot at it matt. what is it that turns off, we will say it, white working guys that goes to college. i hate this stuff, but good ahead. what is it that turns these guys off to obama? is it race? is it background? what is it mostly? you know, i don t think we entirely know. it is not far fetch to think race is part of it but part of it is also the economy. working class men feeling more dispensable and vulnerable. feeling like the world is not theirs any more and part of it is the style of this president. he can seem academic and a little aloof at times. that probably doesn t help either. but look, you know, politics is about forging a alliances and constituencies and he will have to forth one that is not as dependent on white men.
