Zogby Poll: Obama Five Times Worse Than Carter on Economy
Topics: Political News and commentariesMore bad news for the president:
Two new polls today find that just one third of the public feels President Obama deserves re-election while five times more Americans think Obama has done a worse job fixing the economy than Jimmy Carter, the modern era's Herbert Hoover.Ouch!Washington Whispers contributor John Zogby tells us that his new polling is spirit-crushing for the depressed White House. "It was a very bad week for Barack Obama. Our polling shows his job approval at 39 percent and the percentage saying he deserves re-election at 33 percent, both the lowest of his term, while the percentage of voters saying the nation is on the wrong track reached a high since he took office at 75 percent," he said.
Not exactly what he wanted to hear before the big speech tonight.
Meanwhile, Daniel Halper passes along a text message from Obama's reelection campaign saying they do want you to tune in (details at the link). Halper also reminds us that the president's speech tonight in front of a joint session of Congress is not a campaign speech. It just isn't. Obama will merely be presenting a plan for economic recovery in front of members of both chambers of Congress, because that's what the president of the United States does when the economy hasn't recovered despite his own economic initiatives that have been implemented over the last two and a half years, or something like that.
