He’s at 50% but if you look at his approval he’s at 24% strong approval. That 50% is a house of cards.
The article points out that McCain was down 51-45 at this same time in 2008 so no doubt Mitt is in a better position, if looking at Rasmussen’s number. The troubling thing is that McCain was running against a dem wave and a ‘rock star’ candidate that was a media darling like nothing we’ve seen before.
Mitt, on the other hand, is running against 43+ months of 8% unemployment, an economy heading back into recession, 4$ gas, etc... yet his position in comparison to McCain’s is only slightly better.... It’s really pretty shocking.
