Only 39 percent of Americans now believe President Barack Obama deserves to be reelected, according to a Gallup poll conducted Oct. 14-17. That is a steep decline from the 48 percent who told Gallup he deserved reelection in a survey conducted in mid-June.
In the Oct. 14-17 poll, a majority of Americans--54 percent--told Gallup that Obama does not deserve to be re-elected.
In the Oct. 14-17 survey and in three previous polls this year, Gallup asked approximately 1,000 American adults this question: “Please tell me whether you think each of the following political office-holders deserves to be re-elected, or not. How about President Obama?”
In a poll conducted March 26-28, 46 percent said he deserved to be reelected, 50 percent said he did not and 4 percent said they had no opinion.
When Gallup asked the same question in a poll conducted May 24-25, Obama's reelection numbers had marginally improved. Forty-eight percent said he deserved to be reelected, 48 percent said he did not, and 4 percent still had no opinion.
Yet another poll conducted June 11-13 yielded almost identical results to those from late May. Forty-eight percent said Obama deserved to be reelected, 49 percent said he did not, and 3 percent said they had no opinion.

Aren’t we forgetting about considering who his opponent will be? If another McShame runs, I think Ø’s support jumps to 52%.
Lets hope it keeps dropping until November, 2012.
Not to worry unless, of course, he’s impeached before 2012.
But hey, Pelosi’s pet rat Van Hollen says the reports of widespread disgust toward the ruling Democrats are greatly exaggerated. The Democrats will prevail in November and Obama will rise again to lord over us in grace, wisdom, and power.
A collapse in support at the very end of the election season was foreseeable in a toxic economic and political climate like this. It’s going to get worse in the next week or so.
Better a hunchback, blind midget, mass-murderer from Mars, with a club foot than Obama.
The 39% who want to re-elect O’Zero are certified morons.

Notice that this was not a poll of likely voters, or registered voters, but was of Americans.
Interesting statement. How were you able to foresee this? Why will it get worse?
late May. Forty-eight percent said Obama deserved to be reelected, 49 percent said he did not, and 3 percent said they had no opinion.
I’ve lived through several of these episodes. In ‘80. In ‘94. A certain critical portion of Americans (5% +/-) are actually fair and patient, and wait to give the incumbent up to the very last moment to show some improvement. Then it collapses when nothing improves.
Obama is still susceptible to something like a 300-400 point Dow reversal next week, too. Icing on the already baked cake.
Make you wonder what is wrong with that 39%.
Well really only 27% when you subtract th 12% black that will vote for him no matter what happens.
It there a “Is Obama Really Gay?” party?
I think there might be a “Obama Is Too Damn Gay” party.
About at the margin required to overcome the Dem voter fraud.
This wasn’t a poll; it was a psychological evaluation and 61% of those who took it passed.
