53% Disapproval for POTUS - Rasmussen


Rasmussen Reports: Here is the latest daily tracking poll from Rasmussen folks, it should be noted that the Rasmussen poll is based on likely voters. In the poll POTUS has a 53% disapproval rating for his job performance, while 46% approve of President Obama’s job performance. If your running the re-election Campaign this is not good news, but its early, lets look at the negatives that the President faces, the unemployment rate as of today is 8.9, this is down which helps the Obama push for re-election, but its still high folks, also the President has the problem of ObamaCare, he unlike Bill Clinton will have to defend it through 2012, also up coming we have the following international problems, Libya, Afghanistan and Iran, any of the above could sink Obama in 2012. All the hot rhetoric out of President Obama on Libya has not been backed up by action, thus he is seen as weak by Colonel Gaddafi and the regime in Tehran. The War in Afghanistan is not going well, more like World War One and the Trenches, no great push seems to work, as to Iran, that is the hot issue, if and when Iran goes nuclear the game changes in the Middle East, Israel could take military action, that could lead to a regional War. Thus there are many factors that could lead to Obama losing in 2012, its not a sure bet he will lose but this blog still keeps to its prediction that Obama will lose by 48/49 States.
