There’s a hidden, little-discussed surprise lurking deep in your pollster’s crosstabs. Republicans are feeling poor these days. Yes, I know all the lies about the Republicans being the “1 percenters.” But it’s not true. These days Republicans are the self-employed and small-business owner-operators. And they’re not doing well financially, certainly not as well as the Democratic government and union employees, who have experienced much less economic deprivation since 2008.

As a pollster and political consultant, even for the other political party, it’s easy for me — in a perverse sort of way — to admire President Obama’s all-in bid to recapture the affections of his liberal Democratic base voter. The startling lurch toward open support for gay marriage was probably just the first in a series of full-frontal moves to come. I expect to see several even wackier actions soon, like the closing of Guantánamo, an executive pardon for some illegal residents, the full forgiveness of a ton of student loan debt, and, who knows, maybe a gutsy stance for Israel over the Palestinians in a high-stakes bid to recapture the full affection of Jewish voters.

The night he won the New Hampshire primary, Mitt Romney struck a
responsive chord in his victory speech when he accused President Obama
of wanting to “turn America into a European-style entitlement society.”
Then he turned up the volume in a reprise, saying that Obama “takes his
inspiration from the capitals of Europe” while Republicans “look to the
cities and small towns of America.” This line of attack is good stuff,
and Obama had it coming.
