Sam Stein On Morning Joe: NY-9 Results Show Obama Is ‘Immensely Unpopular’ Among Democratic Base
The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein appeared on Morning Joe today, to 1) send the crew into a veritable fit of giggles with his accompanying headshot and 2) discuss what the results from last night’s special election in Anthony Weiner‘s former district may mean for Barack Obama and Democrats in general.
“You nationalize it to a certain extent,” said Stein of the results:
…you can read any poll numbers and it shows that the President is immensely unpopular among people who he should be popular with. I think he won the district by 55 percent in 2008; right now his popularity in that district is, his favorability in that district is 40, and that’s not a good sign for Obama. But then you have to understand this district is likely to be gone in 14 months when redistricting happens, that Democrats have won a series of special elections prior to that and have always sort of downplayed the significance for the Republican party. So, you know, you have to take both sides of the coin here.
But if I were the President and I looked at these numbers… You know, he couldn’t even step into that district to campaign for the candidate, so, you know, things aren’t good in terms of base enthusiasm or Independent voters.
The panel then discussed how Obama is faring among other segment, including Jewish voters.
Take a look for yourselves, courtesy MSNBC. Stein appears at the 1:13 mark, after much serious discussion about the Beatles:
