45% for Obama, 49% Against – If Election Were Held Right Now
Americans are a little less enthusiastic about the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama this time around.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama if he was up for reelection right now. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they would be unlikely to vote for the president’s reelection.
Thirty-four percent (34%) would be very likely to support Obama, while 40% say they would be not at all likely to do so.

These percentages will only gonna get worse when all of the tax-payin' Americans actually wake up (many already have) and realize that this guy is attempting to destroy capitalism and everything that makes this Nation great... thanks for revitalizing America, Mr.O.!

These numbers aren't a surprise. Look had the corrupt radical barry circus is falling apart. All of the 'polls' fo the tents are falling around them, with only barrys big ears holding up the tent top.
The party's over, the historical event took place, everyone was thrilled. Too bad for him he lied during the campaign and his policies are distructive.
He needs to start packing now and write a book on his downfall-"nobamacare"

Says who??? Fox News??? Just one more example of Fox News' anti-Dim bias. Shame on you, Fox News.

No surprise with this Demalib response... Go back to your state-run, big government, society-grooming, media, Willy boy...

Fox News is the only News station that reports it honestly.

This is not a "Party issue" this is about keeping America free form this Marxist tyranny. They are controlling and intimitating. America stands for Freedom. We want jobs in America and not have every Industry shut down under the disguise of "green tax" cap and tax. America does not want a socialist gov't.or a dictator for that matter and we don't want to fund ACORN and we don't want to fund any more radical czars.

BOB from the old school
why would anyone support a LIAR?
Alex Tahoma
You do know that every politician lies about something right? Are you asking for a *completely* honest person to run for president?
BOB from the old school
That is still amazing that there are 45% that still think they are not going to get screwed by all these socialist programs
BOB from the old school
apparently the average US citizen is better at recognizing disengenious condenscending arrogance in appliaction then they are in theory.

What % would vote Republican ...and who would be running? Hmmm, Rush?
Obamacare makes me sick
Imagine that! This is without having a particular Republican candidate against Obama and 49% would vote against him! Some are seeing the light. Just wait a few more months of his messes and will be hard to find an ignoramus who will vote for him.
redrum
And yet he is not up for 3 more years so all you sarah palin worshipers can sit tight cause 3 years is a lifetime in politics. If "W" got reelected, Barack Obama can be as well
FAILURE-IN-CHIEF
60% AGAINST OBAMA
Obamacare makes me sick
The numbers tell the story! It doesn't matter, the fact is they would not vote for him! There is hope in America!

I find it inconceivable that 45% of the American voting public are that oblivious as to what's going on with OUR government! Are these people so willing to give up their God given rights just so they can receive so called free government handouts? Remember this...your free handouts COME WITH A PRICE!!! A price that my great grandchildren are going to have to pay for! That is totally unacceptable!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Captain Obvious
They are the 45% who don't pay taxes and have nothing to lose and everything to gain from redistribution.

Watch, look and see.
CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE
Who the hell are they polling, the cemeteries, Acorn, the unions, etc.
If the truth were really known, it would be Obama at about 25% and any other candidate at 75%. Now if they would let the military vote, the 75% would move up to 90%. OBAMA - CHILD IS finished as President and it won't be soon enough for about 275 million people. When the unemployment reaches 12%, lets take another poll or when the elections are over in NJ, VA and NY, lets see another poll !!!

Wow still that many blind uninformed people in this country. I don't know what it will take to open peoples eyes. We are in serious trouble.

Maybe next election Americans will pay attention to substance rather than personality. I still don't see where all the "personality" is myself, but to each his own.

New definition in the dictionary. If you look up the word slime there's a picture of BHO next to it.
Ken123
I would like to see how many days since BHO took public office as a State Senator, U.S. Senator and president BHO has actually been on the job and not out campaigning at tax payers expense. Since when do public servants get paid to further their own carrier and not oding their job?
Drama-mama
And BHO will continue to lose favor while his Democratic party pushes their ideals and morals onto America. He is a nobody and has done nothing for this country. He jets around the world and plays politics. He never has taken a stand on anything. He is weak and our enemies know it. Obama wants to blame Bush for everything and Bush is no longer president. He wants to blame others for his and his party's failure.
Ken123
If it looks bad now wait for 2011 when BHO will start another two year campaign for the next election. Even so he spends a great deal of time and taxpayers money campaigning for the DNC. The opposing parties should get equal funds for their campaigns.
