If Election Were Today 49% Of Americans Would Vote Against Obama Re-Election

More bad polling news for Obama:

Americans are a little less enthusiastic about the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama this time around.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama if he was up for reelection right now. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they would be unlikely to vote for the president’s reelection.
Thirty-four percent (34%) would be very likely to support Obama, while 40% say they would be not at all likely to do so.
The question did not specify whom the president would be running against and also was asked of all adults as opposed to just likely voters. Obama carried 53% of the vote nationally over Republican candidate John McCain’s 46% in last November’s election.

These numbers, coming so soon as they do after Obama’s election, make me wonder if Obama actually won the last election because voters supported him or if voters fed up with Republican leadership and unimpressed with McCain’s candidacy were just voting against his opposition.

    “Wait…wait…wait…Rasmussen reports.” Wait..wait…wait…CNN,ABC,NBC,MSNBC, New York Times, ect., ect…reports

    I’m sure both factors were in play.

    Voters supported him and were fed up with Republican’s lack of leadership. Thank God Rush and Glenn Beck have stepped up to fill that leadership void. I solidly conservative party is what’s needed. Dump a few more rinos and you’ll have something.

    “And the likely result (now) of the 2010 elections is that Republicans will take over the Congress. But if that works out for the country, then it is extremely likely that Obama will be re-elected.”

    You’re probably right. It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, though. Without control of Congress, Obama would be a lame duck and unable to pursue the majority of his agenda. His only real goal at that point would be to regain Congress and maintain Dem control of the presidency. That would at least ward off the creeping socialism for another few years.

    He is like that butter face girl you spot from a distance. Looks great from a block away, looks good a 1/2 block away, but when you get a good look up-close you realize your anticipation was premature. everthing was fine butter face. Socialism is the same thing – sounds good until you get the details – then you see how ugly it really is.

    But the election isn’t today. Which is why these polls are so irrelevant. 13 months til the 2010 elections is a political eternity.

    And the likely result (now) of the 2010 elections is that Republicans will take over the Congress. But if that works out for the country, then it is extremely likely that Obama will be re-elected. See: Clinton, Bill J.
