Liberal Pollster's Devastating Memo to Obama

If President Obama needed any more indication of how much his public support has eroded, he need look no further than a recent memorandum of sorts published in the New York Times by former President Bill Clinton’s pollster, Stanley Greenberg. Listen to Greenberg, whose progressive polling firm partners with Clinton strategist James Carville, advise Obama and Democrats on what his latest round of polls and focus groups reveal are their only hope to survive politically, given the current reality:

• “Voters in the developed world are turning away from Democrats, Socialists, liberals and progressives.”

• “Voters feel ever more estranged from government—and they associate Democrats with government.”

• “If they are to win trust, and votes, Democrats must show they are as determined as the Tea Party movement to change the rules of the game.”

• “This distrust of government and politicians is unfolding as a full-blown crisis of legitimacy [and] sidelines Democrats and liberalism.”
