Clint Eastwood ratings higher Obama's

Posted: Sep 3, 2012

Clint Eastwood's bizarre speech at the Republican National Convention last week didn't go over so well with voters in Florida and North Carolina, but it didn't hurt his overall image, a pair of new polls show.

According to a survey conducted by Public Policy Polling, 41 percent of Floridians said they had a negative opinion of Eastwood's 12-minute improvised riff, which featured the 82-year-old Academy Award-winning actor and director pretending to have a conversation with an invisible President Obama, represented by an empty chair. In North Carolina, 44 percent of voters found Eastwood's speech to be in poor taste. (Thirty-six percent of voters in both Florida and North Carolina said they had a favorable opinion of Eastwood's stunt.)

But those same voters also said they nonetheless a favorable opinion of Eastwood. In Florida, 72 percent had a favorable opinion of Eastwood compared to 11 percent with a negative one. (That includes a majority of Democrats; 58 percent had a favorable opinion of him, while 20 percent negative.) In North Carolina, 71 percent had a favorable overall opinion of Eastwood, compared to 14 percent negative.

"Those are certainly numbers any politician would die for," PPP said.

Today on AMC, it must have been Clint Eastwood day. DH watched a few of them. I told him, it feels good to see him the way we like to think of him (kind of like ourselves - LOL) doesn't it. He agreed. Oh, and BTW, CE has a new movie coming out, can't remember the name of it, but he looks much much younger in it than he did on stage at the RNC; that's how we KNOW it was all put on, the messy hair, etc. etc. Let me say it again, GOOD JOB, MR. EASTWOOD.

"Those are certainly numbers any politician would die for," - Especially Mitt,

whose been standing in CE's shadow every since his sensational stool performance. In its aftermath, the candidate went home to recuperate on his yacht for a couple of days (rather than hitting the campaign trail) where he's keeping a strangely low profile, now that no discernible post-RNC poll "bump" has been detected.

I'm not surprised by Mitt's low profile... - (see message)

...on Labor Day, considering he's not a big supporter of labor, unions, and working folk. Oh, yeah....as he says--he's "unemployed, too!"

Speaking of Labor Day... - (see message)

...if you're not familiar with the story or just haven't thought about it in a while, do a little googling about the infamous "Triangle Shirtwaist Fire" -- a good reminder about how things were when workers had no rights, sweatshops weren't uncommon, and companies only cared about profits, not people. It's hard to believe that anyone can say "corporations are people" with a straight face.

Um. I'm confused. I'm sure I saw him in LA right after the RNC. - backwards typist

Was that another lie the MSM put out?

Oops! Can't be [lies] 'cause there's a whole thread about him being in Louisiana a little ways down the page.

He speaks of the Narcissist-in-Chief, though he didn't call him that, I did. Says Obama acts like he killed Bin Laden himself. IMO, it's all his bragging about it that has started all this crap in Egypt and Libya. Between Obama and the DNC, they've done nothing but brag about it. Link below. ...

I've always liked Clint Eastwood, but his rambling speech did nothing to bring any clarity to important issues or tell us anything we don't know about Romney/Ryan. I didn't see the point. I felt sorry for him because he didn't look or sound well, but why did the planners put him in that embarrassing position. He was clearly out of place. That wasn't fair to him. It made him look incompetent trying to speak on politics and having nothing of value to say. ...

"DDonald Trump’s inauguration ratings were the second-highest in 36 years, according to Nielsen. The swearing-in of the 45th president was seen by 30.6 million viewers across 12 networks. The only inauguration over the last three decades that tops Trump’s number in the linear ratings? Barack Obama’s first inauguration back in 2009, which had a record-setting 37.8 million viewers. So Trump was down from the last new president to take office. But before that, to get an Inau ...
