Gallup Analysis: Obama’s Chance of a Loss Greater Than a Win
Newsmax ^ | MAY 17, 2012 | Henry J. Reske

With an approval rating stuck below 50 percent, a sour national mood, and polls showing him tied or trailing rival Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama's re-election bid faces an uncertain future.

Gallup polls show that Obama’s job approval rating in the first week of May averaged just 47 percent and a May 3-6 Gallup poll found only 24 percent of Americans were satisfied with the way things are going.

A poll released Thursday in the battleground state of North Carolina showed Romney leading the president, and the same day another poll showed Wisconsin — which Obama won handily in 2008 — is a toss-up, with Obama and Romney in a dead heat.

All this signals bad news for the incumbent president.

“Comparing today's economic and political ratings with those from previous years when presidents sought re-election reveals that today's climate is more similar to years when incumbents lost than when they won,” Gallup noted.

12/15/2008 $1.29 per gallon of gas here in Houston.

5/18/2012 $3.80 per gallon of gas.

Not a big Romney fan, but I’m thinking he would reign in the EPA.

Romney was little more than a motivational speaker contracted out to Bain Capital.

Hopefully, but keep praying that God gives what we need rather than what we deserve.
