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!
