The pollster? Widely respected political publication National Journal. So sorry liberals, you don’t get to blame this on Rasmussen or some disreputable source.
Actually, I would’ve laughed had this come from a less reliable source. It sounds like wishful thinking on a conservative forum. But no, apparently the American people have woken up to the farce that is the Obama Administration.
A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the ’12 elections were held today, according to a new survey.
The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so.
So basically Obama’s base is 23% of America, with the easy majority of Americans wishing he was back teaching law classes in Chicago. Good job, Democrats. You’re really doing well with that whole tent expansion project.
Exit question: Was Obama’s election the biggest mistake the American people have made when it comes to selecting presidents? George W. Bush may’ve ended up unpopular, but even he had a higher approval rating at this point. Obama seems to be playing a game of limbo.
