Poll: Obama's re-elect numbers at 38%

Topics: Political News and commentaries

According to the latest POLITICO / George Washington University Battleground Poll shows only 38% of likely voters agree that Barack Obama deserves re-election, while 44% say they will definitely vote against him -- with another 13% say they're considering doing the same.

And to make the picture even worse (for Obama), - voters trust congressional Republicansto create jobs more than Obama by an 11-point margin.

Clearly, Americans are fed up with Obama's brand of "hope and change," and are no longer interested in the snake oil (i.e. ObamaCare and big government/nanny state agenda) he's been trying to sell them. As Jennifer Rubin sums up in a somewhat-related piece in which she suggests we're getting a sense that the left is not only in the process of losing its congressional majorities but also its bearings:

"What Democrats believe in doesn't work, and what they could do instead isn't supported by their left-wing base. So they do nothing, like a deer in the headlights. And like that proverbial deer, the Dems are headed for a smash-up."
Given what we're seeing in Obama's re-elect numbers it seems that one could sum up Mr. Obama's situation similarly: What Obama believes in doesn't work, and what he could do instead isn't supported by his left-wing base. So he either does nothing or does the wrong thing, like a deer in the headlights. And like that proverbial deer, Obama (and the Dems) are headed for a smash-up."
