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.
The question did not specify whom the president would be running against and also was asked of all adults as opposed to just likely voters. Obama carried 53% of the vote nationally over Republican candidate John McCain’s 46% in last November’s election.
As in that contest, women are more supportive of Obama than men. Adults 18 to 29 are more likely to vote for the president than those who are older. Ninety percent (90%) of African-Americans say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama, compared to 36% of whites.
Among adults not affiliated with either major political party, those not at all likely to vote for the president’s reelection outnumber by two-to-one those who would be very likely to support him.
Forty-two percent (42%) of all Americans rate the job Obama has been doing as president as good or excellent. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say he is doing a poor job.
Obama's overall job approval rating in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll – based on responses from likely voters - fell below 50% for the first time in July. A month-by-month review of the president’s ratings shows that they held steady in August and September before declining slightly last month.

Heh heh. I wonder if "willing to crawl over ground glass in a burning building under machine-gun fire to vote against him" one of the options?
Who cares?
We’re three years away from the next election. So much will change.
We don’t even know who Obama’s opposition will be in 2012. It could Michael Moore on the Republican ticket the way things are going....
365 days too late
Unfortunately, “Nobama” isn’t going to be a choice in 2012. There will be one or more named opposing candidates. That worked out so well last time ...
Then our tent would be huge.
I know what you mean, quite frankly the first time I saw the “Republican” in NY23 I thought it was a clean shaven Michael Moore.
Oh yeah? Run McCain against Obama again and Obama would beat him everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Hell, I would for Obama if the GOP was stupid enough to run a RINO like McCain again.
It’s unmarried females — so Feminazism and the attacks on the family is working. It’s producing more liberals.
36% support among white Americans.
Wow, that is low.
I can’t help but being disappointed to see that roughly half the country still supports a Kenyan Socialist.
Our tent would HAVE to be huge...
Perhaps we’ll see NY23 repeated on a grander scale,
with the “republican” candidate splitting the elitist vote with the democrat,
and the Conservative winning it.
It is simply emotions, he's cutesy, that's it. I have tried to talk with my women friends, they haven't a clue, they do not want to talk politics and learn everything they need to know from the media.
I prefer to talk with men, most liberal women a simply shallow dipsticks.
There is no accounting for the masochistic stupidity of some American voters, as many as 30 percent. People actually voted for Jimmy Carter his second time around, and the same kinds of people would vote for Obamao again.
The “women” demographic is misleading.
“Single women who view the government as their father and husband” overwhelmingly voted for democRats and 0bama.
Married women overwhelmingly voted against them.
Married stay at home moms [probably] were against him in the 90% range.
Just think if the media had done its job during the elections we may have been spared this nightmare for freedom and liberty and the American way!
An even more interesting poll!
I wonder if all these single women who vote Dem do so because of the abortion issue.
As Ann Coulter wrote, they support their right to have unprotected sex with men they don’t like.
I actually witnessed a single white female walk out of my Church a couple weeks ago. This was during the Sermon about how abortion is a sin, etc., etc. It was so funny - you should have seen the indignant, horrified look on her face. I looked right at her and smiled.
Hopefully she’ll realize someday the error in her ways and come back.
That's only a minor part of it, IMHO.
The bigger drive is the hardwired need to be taken care of and provided for, as women are created to be the helper and completer of the man.
They've been told by our society (ie, lied to), that this desire is bad and degrading, so they reject real men, and replace them with societal and gov't institutions.
I need to infiltrate the electoral college. I can pull a reverse DeDe.
“36% support among white Americans.
Wow, that is low.”
But since there are so few white Americans left, it doesn’t much matter.
Thanks Teddy Kennedy! You murderer. D-Hell
I would not let Obama be in charge of my pet rock!
Elmer Fudd, 2012!!!
even if the opponent was McLame?
That's racist!!!
LOL. Go for it, but first you need to invent a time machine.
If Obama is doing this poorly in a poll of adults, imagine how he’d do in a poll of likely voters.
Only 36% of whites adults are at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama in 2012. Holy unelectability, Batman!
“”””what are the women’s excuse for siding with the marxist muslim?””
My cousin, a Republican from San Francisco, voted for Zero, but is sick of what she did. I asked why, and the answer was “didn’t want Bush lite”, and wanted change. Unfortunately, it was not the change promised.

When you ask them, what was it that Bush did that made you so mad? The sound like their leader, Hm, Uh, Ah, Hmmm, Uh, Ah, well, uh, the war, uh. The they turn tail and run from you as they know another question is coming. Like "What about the War?" LOL
And these are likely voters. Still, it depends on whether the large electoral states will still turn against the faux Messiah. It is necessary for Pubs to advance their conservCenterright agenda and pull in more Indies, Reagan Dems, and Libertarians to chip away at all those huge Blue State electoral majorities. Prayerfully, 2010 will start the chipping.
We’d definitely make out like bandits on the hot dog concessions...
You are so right. Most of my women friends think that voting Democrat means they are sooooo compassionate and tolerant. They are so blissfully ignorant, it makes me ill. They are more interested in Hollywood gossip than politics or anything else of substance.
You'll notice in the past several elections the chant of “change” (they even added hope this time!!!) was predominant, but they never, ever spell out for the electorate just what is the nature of that “change” they are proposing.
This is one reason why Obama’s election proved the right guy won.
It seems once every generation, the electorate must relearn the reasons why we don't put Democrats (who are now in reality nothing more than fronts for the CP-USA) in office, or any position of even semi-importance.
Since that cycle lasts anywhere from 10 - 25 years, an intractable truth has been shown: Even as the country struggles to recover from the excesses of the previous Democratic administration/Congressional majority, the D/CP-USA continues to march ever-more leftward, without pause, totally ignorant of the causes of their last defeat and the circumstances they and the rest of the country find themselves in.
We need America, especially it's young people, to relearn once again just why socialism/communism is such a bad thing. (It doesn't work!)
As an extra added bonus, perhaps a sizable chunk of graduates, such as they are, from the nation's public school system will realize the bill of goods they were sold, education-wise. (I've always felt that your real education starts the moment you get out of school, and it doesn't stop till you leave this plane of existence. I tell that to all the kids I know.)
The next time you hear someone utter “I'm votin’ fer change!”, just tell them the turnip truck will be coming by soon to pick them back up.
(Although “change” today would not be a bad thing!)
CA....
That gentleman reminds me of a tortoise:)

I am hopeing for a lot more than chipping. I hope we win 70+ seat in the House!!
I’m sure Fudd is on an ACORN voter roll somewhere....
Of course, that tent would be blowing away in the wind since no one would be in it....
A good argument to appeal the 19th Amendment.
Women have voted Democratic in EVERY Presidential election since 1940. This is a fact that can be verified.
“As in that contest, women are more supportive of Obama than men.”

That settles the question of which sex is smarter.
How about Bill Gates and Warren Buffett together couldn’t bribe me to vote for Obama even if I knew he would lose anyway?
You'd have to eat a mini mart's stock of fast food (daily)along with a number of other, more drastic camouflaging techniques to pretend you're DeDe.
Come on...you could be a delegate too...and we can go to the conventions....woohoo...get Girlene to go!
