The radicals in the White House won’t like this one bit.
After dumping millions of campaign dollars into their campaign against the rich, only 20% of American voters are troubled by Mitt’s wealth. 75% of voters don’t give a damn.
The Politico reported, via Free Republic:
One in five registered voters, largely Democrats and independents, say that Mitt Romney’s wealth makes it less likely that they will support him for president, according to a new poll out Thursday.
Indeed, while 75 percent of voters said that Romney’s riches made no difference in their voting preferences, 20 percent said that it made them less likely to vote for him, reports Gallup.
A small percentage – 4 percent – said that Romney’s wealth made it more likely that they would vote for him.
“As you know Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has a net worth of over 200 million dollars. Does the fact that he is this rich make you more likely or less likely to vote for him, or does it make no difference?” the question from Gallup read.
The bulk of those who were less likely to support Romney due to his wealth comes from Democrats and independents. 37 percent of Democrats and 19 percent of Democrats said that Romney’s wealth made them less likely to vote for him.
Voter income plays a factor in whether one is less likely to vote for Romney on account of his wealth. 28 percent of those who make less than $24,000 said they were less likely to vote for Romney on account that “his is this rich”; other income categories had between 18 percent to 20 percent saying they were less likely to vote for Romney due to his wealth.
The Obama campaign has tried to stress Romney’s wealth.

All of us citizens are invested in the United States; our investment has to stop running at a loss. I side with the guy whose track record proves he can put balance sheets into the black.

Who cares how much money he has…if he is not a socialist or a slimy lying mooslum…then he gets my vote
bigL commented:
El Jefe got handed sacks of cash for two tomes of cheap doggerel. And he and MO are multi-millionaires.What about that demo socialists?
Greg commented:
I do believe that WTF should enlighten the US on the practicalities of how a fatherless boy with a wandering mother could propel himself into Harvard and the Presidency through honest labor. voiding that discussion might be the purpose in discussing Rommeny success
Robodog7 commented:
He earned his money so who cares how much he has, it is called success.
I wonder how many millions Obama has tucked away in foreign banks from the $6.4 billion in stimulus money allocated to 440 nonexistent, or “phantom,” Congressional districts? Why has congress never investigated this? Nobody even asks about it. Where is the money?
Gary commented:
The headline says it all.
20% of voters would be troubled if Romney cured cancer.
Limousine Barry commented:
It is true that One in Five people polled are troubled with Mitt Romney’s money.
I was One of the Five people!
Let me be clear, although Democrats like Nancy Botox Pelosi are much wealthier that Mitt Romney I am troubled that I might lose this election!
Sure, Nancy’s off-shore investments in China and the Philippines have thrown millions of American jobs overseas and her Cayman island bank account is bulging with billions of dollars! I am not troubled. {sniff}
In fact, I applaud Botoxi Pelosi for using what is left of her Swiss-cheese brain to kill so many American jobs… and give me some of the money. If she can kill jobs – I promise do the same on a larger scale!
What worries me is losing my Limo, my $110,000,000.00 in donations and my job! I would hate to get kick-out of the White House while I am at the peak of my Job kill career!
I so much more Job Killing to do. I have almost bankrupted America. But, I need four more years to get the job done! Does that make you less likely to vote for me. Yes!
And, that is the problem. My campaign sucks! So, I need more of your money for crappy TV commercials. If you want to see more American jobs out sourced and more idiotic TV commercials then vote for me. Send, $30 to me before midnight!
My enormous Pig of a Bus is belching black smoke and David Axelrod and new scam to skin my union donors. It’s a bait and switch scam with a good dose of lies. I cannot go into specifics but the Unions always vote for me so I say take their money and screw them! I cannot answer any more questions. I my campaign may suck but once I screw the unions it will suck worse. Good day.
Ripped commented:
The same 20% could care less that 0bama’s wealth has come to him by the sale of his auto-biography that is nothing but a pack of lies.
Ace commented:
It’s fun watching the “Obama” campaign self destruct. Wonder what the next dumb plan will be?
Right now, they are infuriated that Romney spoke to the NCAAP, and that they gave him an ovation when he denounced gay “marriage”.
What left for the first gay “president”?
They tried to portray Romney as hating animals, women, blacks, American workers, hispanics…none of it sticks.
Ace commented:
This poll is devastating. 20% is the “Obama” base…they’re only preaching to the choir now.
Finncrisp commented:
Every national politician has wealth. This is news? It takes money or massive financial backing to run for president. This is news? After 3+ plus years of this class bashing Marxist, I think we get the picture.
When his lips are moving , he lies. When his feet are moving, he’s golfing…
Militant conservative commented:
Ace nailed it.
20 % is all the black community and a handful of
Whites. I’ll be surprised if Obama gets above 39% in the November election. A
Serious a$$ whoopin.
Chris W. commented:
As usual, Democrats can’t keep their story straight.
They sure didn’t care about John Kerry’s wealth, did they?
Steve S. commented:
The last election cycle here, the incumbent Governor (a crook named Pat Quinn) was being opposed by a Republican named Bill Brady. All of Quinn’s TV ads referred to his opponent as “Millionaire Bill Brady”. One of my coworkers was talking to me about the election and Brady’s self made wealth. He was buying into the millionaire bashing. I told him I had no problem voting for a millionaire. When he asked why, I told him that he’s obviously a successful businessman. Better to vote for someone who knows what they’re doing, than to vote for someone who’s incompetent.
MKS commented:
President Obama is a millionaire; Mitt Romney is a multi-millionaire. Mitt Romney is just better at it, and he does not mind if YOU are also a millionaire. The Obama Administration does not seem to want YOU to become a millionaire.
It seems to me that the 4% who are more likely to vote because of wealth may be sycophants, and the 20% less likely to vote may be consumed with envy.
I am encouraged that 75% don’t care. We need more of these folks.
BridgetGB commented:
Mitt’s wealth? The average Hollywood starlet has more money than Romney. Just another distraction. Why aren’t these brain washed liberals upset by the amount of money Pelosi & Feinstein have? .. it’s more money than Romney. Such crap. Nothing wrong with working hard and scoring big green. It’s still kind of a free country isn’t it? Get off the sofa you slacker entitlement addicts and take responsibility for yourself.
