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 Obamas 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.

All the things Obama has going for him might not be enough. When only 25% of the people think things are going well during a Presidential election, the President tends to lose.

Not a big Romney fan, but Im thinking he would reign in the EPA.
The high price of commodities (including oil) is based more on the Fed’s liquidity policy than the EPA. Romney is on record of supporting bailouts and quantitative easing, so I don’t see any real relief on the horizon.
Perhaps it’s time for You to apply some common sense into whether You will Vote for Romney or for Obama Hussein? Case Closed!
I will never ever cast a vote for a Liberal, which means I will never ever cast a vote Romney nor Obama. Case Closed there Romneybot.
Thanks for admitting You are Voting for the Muslim Terrorist who stole that Office in 2008 with a complely laundered and absent Past! You are truly a Brilliant Gift to America! sarq!!!!!!!
I just bought a new dictionary and when I looked up the term RINO there was a picture of Romney.
BTW: for a clue as to who I’ll vote for search the term “Constitution Party”.
As I’m completely done with the GOP Elite and their Big Government Progressive Socialism.
I looked moron is my dictionary as I saw a picture of you and the rest of the morons here that think 4 more years of FUBO are a good choice.

Your just jealous of my handsome good looks.
And if all you want to hear is that Romney is our Conservative Savior than your barking up the wrong tree cus his record is every bit as Leftist as Barry Soetoro’s record.
