Obama Is Losing The Online Merchandise Battle

With President Barack Obama’s first term is coming to a close CafePress took a look at how Obama pro vs. anti sales have been tracking these past eight months. Overall, anti-Obama gear has consistently sold more units than pro-Obama, though not by a significant difference. This isn’t that surprising considering the trend on the Gallup poll that shows the decrease in his approval ratings over the course of his presidency, with a recent resurgence that has the ratings about equally divided.

What is startling, especially in visual form, is the dramatic shift in support compared to 2008 sales. Pro-Obama sales have declined by 41 percent.

CafePress averages over 130,000 new designs uploaded every week and millions of items of merchandise sold.

    Obviously it’s due to the inherent undercurrent of racism flowing throughout flyover country. We need to commission a study by the government for more information.
