New Poll Shows Most Americans Want Obama Fired In 2012
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Although the White House got its panties all in a bunch when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pledged to make Barack Obama a one-term president, according to a poll by moderate Democratic strategist Doug Schoen, the majority of Americans agree with McConnell:
According to pollster Doug Schoen, whose new poll shows vast support for the Tea Party movement among voters, the president is still liked by about half the nation. In fact, more like him personally than like his policies. Some 48 percent think he's a nice guy, while just 42 percent approve of his job performance.Read more ...But that personal favorability doesn't translate into re-election support when voters are asked if Obama deserves a second term. Says Schoen: "Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president." Worse, Schoen adds, "43 percent say that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, while 48 percent say Bush was a better president than Obama has been."
As Schoen goes on to note, the chances of Obama being elected are improved under a scenario in which the Tea Party enters the picture in 2012 with a third-party candidate because Obama would win in a 3-way race - something that should be a warning to the Tea Party about "going Perot" -which some would argue is unlikely to happen.
