NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- One year from now the country will be in the final days of the 2012 presidential campaign. Most likely the final debates will have been held and the two candidates will be on their final campaign trips wooing undecided voters. President Obama will be trying to move on to a second term and one of the Republicans will be trying to stop that. However, the President is heading into this year-long campaign with only one-third of Americans (33%) giving the job he is doing positive ratings while two-thirds (67%) give him negative marks. This is almost unchanged from last month when 32% gave him positive ratings and 68% gave him negative ones.

I never thought he could get re-elected...until I saw the GOPs candidates. Now, I just don’t know.

Going back to The Harris Poll Vault, we can take a look to see what the ratings of other presidents were one year before they attempted to win a second term. Only one, Jimmy Carter had lower ratings with 25% of Americans giving him positive marks while three-quarters (74%) gave him negative ratings.

Fitting comparison. Also this sample in the poll should favor Obummer. That should be scaring the hell out of the WH.

Half of Americans didn’t learn the lesson of Carter.

He is acting as if he doesn’t have to be re-elected.

Never misunderestimate the power of Chicago-style ballot box tampering, “walkin’ around money” to the tune of about $1B+, paid activists (aka AstroTurfing), thuggery, and voter fraud.

It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes.

ACORN. ACLU. Supreme Court. etc.

The other half went back to playing with their boogers.

Or as if he’s not worried about it.

He has no soul.

Yep. It’s the half that wasn’t born when he was President.

Go Jimmah! You are still the worst President in modern history.
Although, once the fog clears I think Ibama will be the clear winner/loser.
Like Jimmah that won’t stop Ibama chiming in giving his two cents on future admins.
Writing books and giving paid speeches.
Ibama IS NEVER GOING AWAY!

They are setting up Obama to be “The Comeback Kid.”

I’d like all states to demand eligibility according to the constitution (as only Hawaii currently does). Further, I’d like to see proof of his constitution eligibility pursued.

I hate the fact that if he doesn’t run and is “deemed” the president for the past four years, he still get SS protection and a hefty retirement, which he may not be eligible to collect. And all his crappy appointees get likewise, plus all the regulations stand. Just saying.

The problem isn’t his dwindling support among living voters, it’s his 130% approval among dead and fictional voters. We need to overwhelm the zombie voters so that ACORN and SEIU cannot install that communist for another four years.

I don’t know how accurate these polls are but they show the Republican Congress with even less support then Obama.

A lot less.

. . . exactly, they figure they’ll just count the same votes they did last time!

There are enough ignorant Americans that it might work....along with a ton of voter fraud.
