FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
While America's fixating on numbers from President Obama in his speech tonight on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, like how many troops are coming home and by when, the president and his re-election team are probably stuck on a very different set of figures.
For example, 43 percent, the president's daily job approval rating according to Gallup. It's been moving down this week. And 49 percent, the percentage of Americans who disapprove of the job he is doing. They aren't very good numbers.
Here's another number that's probably going to keep the Obama reelection campaign awake at night: 30 percent. That's the very small percentage of Americans who say they are certain they would vote to re-elect President Obama come next November. And 36 percent, the percentage who say they definitely won't cast a vote for four more years of his presidency. These stats come from a new Bloomberg National Poll. Here's one more from the same poll, maybe the worst one of all: 66 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.
It's a tight spot for President Obama to be in. So much of his sinking poll numbers has to do with the economy and the lack of real recovery we've seen during his term. But it also has to do with the four wars we are fighting and the nation's growing deficit too.
What it doesn't have much to do with is Obama's potential Republican opponents. No one in that lackluster field is really getting the voting population excited. And that might be the only thing that's keeping the president in the 2012 race at this point.

The latest poll.....obama 12%...soetoro 11%...soebarkah 7%...dunham 6%.
Stranger things have happened.
And I don’t put outright theft and chicanery as weapons of Dem/Lib election wars. Remember all the lawyers in elections past.
That was Phase 1. Now we’ve moved on to Executive Orders, Do-Nothing Congresses ... all in the name of cleaning the cesspool and bi-partisanship.
IMHO, you’re officially un-electable when your approval rating hits 25%.
Keep in mind that dead voters are not included in approval polls. Besides, what makes you think we will have an election in 2012?
The national media is so scare OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE the next election. They will do everything they can to lie, cheat and destroy anyone who gets in their way to help obama.
Blaming ATMs for the unemployment crisis shows how out of touch Obama is with ‘mid’ America.
The weekly unemployment continues to be over 400k new claims each week.
Without significant improvement in the next few months, the theme next will will be “it’s the economy, Stupid!” and Obama and his team seem clueless on how to deal with it.
The election could be the Republicans’ to lose — which they certain can do.
If this many people have a favorable rating for zer0, why don’t they put their fork in their eye while trying to eat?
That means that at least 100 million US residents hate America and want her destroyed.
After he's gone, they will still be here.
What percentage of the vote did Clinton win with?
Stop worrying, dude. Just see to it that he isn’t reelected.
Fortunately, like Ruprecht, they have a buddy to put a cork on the end of it so they don't harm themself.
Bounel 2%
With 10 or 15 million fraudulent votes, sure.
LOL!!!!
Of course, Silly. They don’t poll graveyards, they just vote the people in them. Such a silly question.
If illegals and the dead vote then the answer is yes, zero can be re-elected.
With a 3rd party candidate on the “right”, a 45% approval will win him reelection easily, I’m sad to say. I’m sure he’ll have that 3rd party candidate too.
I’d say it has already been arranged.....
