Remember when President Barack Obama was taken out of context when he uttered the words "You didn't build that"? Remember how speakers at the Republican National Convention mainly focused on that quote?
Well, in a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that was just released today, it found that in light of Obama's before-mentioned quote, 36% of the public said it made them feel more positive about the president, 32% said more negative and 26% said that it didn't make much of a difference.
On the quote the Republican Party spent so much of their time on - throughout all three nights of their convention and to read that Obama was actually viewed more favorably (+4) in light of said quote, it must be quite the sensation they're feeling right now.
The poll tells a different tale regarding Mitt Romney's 47% comments, as 23% felt more positively about the Republican presidential candidate, 45% more negatively and 24% said there wasn't much of a difference in how they felt toward him.
So, before us is the match-up we've all been waiting for - the alleged gaffe vs. the actual gaffe
Obama's "You didn't build that" = +4%
Romney's "47%" = -22%
Result: Obama by 26%
In light of these results, perhaps the president should start bragging about saying "You didn't build that," and in a moment of panic, Romney will blurt out, "Well, Mr. President - with regard to Obamacare, I can adamantly declare that you didn't build that! You know how I know this? Because I built that!"
