Uh-Oh! - Darunia - 21st July 2010
This isn't really news, as everyone's been carrying polls and approval numbers, but here it is anyway, in a precise and truncated format:
"Washington (CNN) - Nearly half of all Americans think President Barack Obama does not deserve re-election in 2012, according to a new national poll.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday indicates that 48 percent of the public thinks Obama doesn't deserve a second term in office, with four in ten saying he does deserve to be re-elected. By a 52 to 34 percent margin, Independent voters say the president doesn't deserve re-election.
Thirty-six percent of people questioned in the poll say they'd vote for Obama if the next presidential election were held today, with 39 percent saying they'd cast their ballot for the Republican candidate. Thirteen percent say their vote depends on which Republican would be facing off against Obama and 12 percent say they are undecided. By a 37 to 27 percent advantage, Independents say they'd vote for the Republican candidate.
"In politics, a month is a lifetime and we have 28 months until November of 2012. But politicians with re-elect numbers at 40 percent bear watching," says Quinnipiac University Polling Institute assistant director Peter Brown."

Now, OBVIOUSLY, this isn't a prez. election year. And OBVIOUSLY, if it were, the Dems would be pouring untold riches into rallying support, and those numbers above would be higher. Yet one must give some credence to the idea that, Obama isn't doing all that great of a job.

The good news, ASM, is that's the Dems' new strategy. They've opened a pandora's box of sure-to-win candidates. First black prez? Qualified or not, he's their man. First woman? They gotta get in on that. First gay prez? First transexual? Now that they've started this long road, you know that in the future they'll be rolling out more and more "historic" firsts.
And again, if a candidate IS qualified then whatever his race or creed be ought to not be a factor. BUT WE ALL KNOW that for Obama, race was a trump card. Dems know that. They'll use it again.
