I will never understand why there are some on the Right who will fall on their sword to defend the rich. A new poll released shows Obama’s biggest supporters are the rich!

According to a new Economist/YouGov poll, it’s the rich — not the poor or middle class — who back Obama more despite his 2012 campaign attacking the rich.

The poll found that fewer than half of those with incomes less than $100,000 per year approve of Obama’s performance, while he enjoys a 54 percent approval rating among those with incomes higher than that.

Those earning less than $40,000 a year disapprove of the president’s performance, 51 percent to 45 percent. Those earning $40,000 to $100,000 disapprove by a rate of 50 percent to 48 percent.

If the Republican Party had any brains (which they do not), they would engage in class warfare against Obama. But this will not happen and they will continue to be tagged as protecting the rich, despite the reality to the contrary.
