Obama and 2012


Well folks POTUS has returned to political earth after the death of OBL, the latest Gallup tracking poll has President Obama on 47% Approval, while 44% disapprove of the job performance of POTUS. As Gallup is Average voters, it is always good to look at likely voters, in this case its Rasmussen, it has Obama on 51% Disapproval, while 48% approve. Next year is going to about the economy folks, at present the unemployment rate is at 9%, its double that if you take in to account those in part time jobs or have just given up. Also should the economy turn around in 2012, this might be a negative for POTUS, this will make people return to the job market, that could push unemployment over 10%. The one thing that POTUS has going for him is the dire state of the Republican race, this is the first time that this blog will not have a horse in the race, come on Jeb Bush run for God’s sake.
