Polls and Obama

Team Obama is seeing some pretty bad poll numbers. Here's a look:


  • He's under water in Gallup, Marist, Rasmussen, WashPo/ABC News polls, all disapproving by at least 3% more than approve.

  • His overall approval is down to 46% average, and dropping.

  • Obamacare is at its lowest support since inception, only 35% support it.

  • 46% strongly disapprove of his handling of the economy; only 23% strongly approve.

On most polls, he's narrowly beating his Republican opponents. However, Romney is beating him by 2 points in a recent poll. Nonetheless, a sitting president SHOULD be beating any unnamed opponent, or named for that matter, even before the election season has started.
