Desire For Change Or Desire To Be Conservative?

According to Dana Blanton' s article Obama a Hindrance on Fall Elections, voters today are turning away from President Obama' s new policies with forty-one percent voting against Obama in the upcoming November election. Whereas only thirty-three percent will vote for Obama' s policies. Voter's today, are now tending to favor Republicans, since Republicans tend to be more conservative than Democrats. This factor is rather comical because in the beginning of Obama' s presidential election, voters desired change, not for things to stay the same. Even though voters desire for change, they do not desire to go through a process that may be difficult. It is said in the article that Republicans are now believed to handle situations better than Democrats such as terrorism, the economy, Afghanistan, etc. This would mean that voters are now tending to disagree with the president, since President Obama is in fact a Democrat. Voters are now siding with Republicans rather than Democrats, while in the beginning it was the other way around.

This Article is rather interesting to read, because Dana Blanton allows the reader to choose a side on rather they would vote for Republicans or Democrats. This article beings in effective polls where some were taken a few weeks ago verses today. The polls show the change in route that voters have taken. It also allows the reader to being in outside information. I myself had thought about Obama' s new Health care program and how many voters opposed this. In my opinion, the many people who wished for change in the beginning are now tending to say that they wish to stay conservative. Which would of course mean that they believe Obama is not following the way they wish for change to occur. Overall this article informs the readers and is targeted to a more mature audience from young adults to the elderly who can truly understand the situation.
