Even the left-fascist press can't hide the ju-eared cretin's bad poll numbers.
From the National Journal via Yahoo News:
The first round of polls is out after President Obama’s Bain attacks against Mitt Romney
and the results aren’t good news for the White House. By themselves,
the national toplines are discouraging enough: Romney holds a
(statistically-insignificant) 47 to 46 percent lead in the new New York Times/CBS poll, and the president is stuck at 47 percent in recent polls by Fox News and NPR.
But
beneath the head-to-head numbers, the results foreshadow tough times
ahead for Obama. Voters appear to be processing the worsening economic
news belatedly, and their pessimism shows. In the CBS/NYT poll, Obama’s
job approval dropped to 44 percent, with only 39 percent approving of
his economic performance – down five points from April. For the first
time since January, more voters now think the economy is getting worse.
Nearly two-thirds of voters now place some blame on the president for
the weak economic conditions, with 34 percent giving him “significant”
responsibility, and an outright 52 percent majority of independents
believe Obama will “never improve” the economy.
These aren’t numbers that victories are made of.
Obama’s
favorability ratings – always his relative strong suit – are also at an
all-time low. Only 36 percent in the NYT/CBS poll view him favorably, a
six-point drop over the last three months, with 48 percent viewing him
unfavorably. Romney’s numbers aren’t good, either – 32 percent favorable
and 36 percent unfavorable – but mutually assured destruction isn’t
going to win the election.
All told, the numbers paint a picture
of voters growing increasingly disillusioned with the president. By
going negative against Romney, the president is landing some solid
blows. But without a positive governing agenda to campaign on, that may
not be enough.
