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.
