End of Week Polls = Obama Re-Election 2012


Well folks its that time of the week, Polls time. Lets first check out Gallup and its Average voters, in it latest tracking poll we have President Obama on 50% job disapproval, while 43% of voters approve of the record of the Oval. In the likely voters category we have the Rasmussen Reports Poll, in this POTUS has a 53% disapproval rating, while 46% of voters approve of Obama. It will be interesting to see the Weekend polls folks, with the Afghan Exit statement by POTUS and the release of the oil from the reserve will this flip the polls. In many respects Obama needs some good luck, with the exception of the killing of OBL the polls have been bad for the Chicago re-election committee for months, the US economy has less traction than a dodo on Viagra, thus 2012 will not be 1984 for Obama, Reagan had a booming economy, he buried the political career of former VP, Walter Mondale, in that race Reagan won 49 States, 59% of the vote and 525 Electoral votes. The Obama team will have a tighter race, they need the economy to turn around, they need confidence back in the system, from Wall Street to main street. They have to show that POTUS has some understanding of main street. Its going to be a tough year for the Oval folks.
