Obama Loses To Generic Republican In Latest Poll

[privateinvestor]

ABC News’ Mary Bruce Reports:

With the presidential election still 18 months away and the GOP field wide open, 44 percent of voters say they are more likely to vote for a generic Republican candidate than President Obama, according to the latest Gallup poll. Just 39 percent would back the incumbent president.

The level of uncertainty heading into the 2012 election is also evident in the 18 percent of voters who, at this point, do not have a preference for Obama versus the Republican.

Obama’s re-election prospects did not look much better last month, despite the fact that his approval rating rose above 50 percent. In May, 43 percent of registered voters said they were more likely to vote for Obama while 40 percent opted for the unnamed Republican.

Lunatic, this board is expected to be pg-13 by our hosts. whether or not every 13 yr old engages in what you just said is irrelevant. it doesn't belong here.

This might be a key element in this early polling and if the economy is still an issue in 2012, the undecided could go republican instead of for Obama..

Yeah... but every time they put an acutal Republican name in against him... the pub loses (except sometimes Romney... to bad pubs won't let him get the nomination...)

[chiver78]

and then there are those of us, like myself, who will answer any poll with "Palin" or some such other asinine option - just to screw with the polls.

I wouldn't put much stock in a poll that's 18 months out. we haven't even hit the Ohio Caucus, FFS!

ABO will win.

[privateinvestor]

Don't forget that Obama remains vulnerable on the economy, gas prices, unemployment, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Israel..

Wait till the full dosage of Republicans out to gut Medicare ads hits the airwaves.

Maybe the Republicans could counter that by showing an aborted fetus that the Democrats are responsable for.

(I just love to answer made up carp about Republicans with true stuff about Democrats).

[Deleted]

You think only democrats have abortions tex?

[privateinvestor]

I am far from a political wonk and think the old adage by James Carville will again apply in 2012 IMHO

"It's The Economy Stupid"...............the Rajun Cajun & Marine aka Cpl Cueball..

Abortion is moot, agreed upon, just a divisive, emotional issue Pubs dredge up at election time for the misled .

Sure, go ahead. It not like it hasn't been tried before. Failed then, will fail now.

But gutting Medicare? Heh heh heh

By the way, red states have much higher rate of abortions. Why is that?

[hello fromWarsaw]

The undecided are OURS!! % wise...Obama has 59% personal approval and those idjits will go for style...

[privateinvestor]

Obama has his work cut out for him to ensure he gets the youth, the military, the hispanic, the african americans, and the seniors....and if the economy is still a major issue in 2012, then he could be very vulnerable....IMHO

And you don't have to be a poltical expert to know this basic poliical concern for Obama and the White House...

Republicans had a good chance till they blew it with the Ryan budget. Praise the lord!

DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schulz: "We own the economy"

hotair.com/archives/2011/06/15/wasserman-schultz-strikes-again-we-own-the-economy-she-says/

CNN senior White House correspondent Ed Henry and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz had this exchange about the economy:

HENRY: My question is, at what point does your party own the economy? Is it three years after the president took office, four years, five to ten years, ten to 15 years? At what point do you take ownership?

SCHULTZ: Oh, I mean I think we clearly are responsible for the -- I'm gonna take ownership right now.

She’s not backing down. Let the Republican National Committee poke all the fun it wants, Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz stands by what she said: The nation is in an economic turnaround and Democrats deserve the credit.


“We own the economy. We own the beginning of the turnaround and we want to make sure that we continue that pace of recovery, not go back to the policies of the past under the Bush administration that put us in the ditch in the first place,” Wasserman Schultz told Mike Allen at a breakfast hosted by POLITICO’s Playbook.

The economy, she said, “has turned around” since President Obama took office, with steady job growth evident even if the pace leaves something to be desired.

[hello fromWarsaw]

We'll have to see whether the Pubs can delay the recovery that long... ;D

[NoMoreLunacy]

Not an issue my friend. Medicare will do the trick.

The Bamster is TOAST:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19

[hello fromWarsaw]

The 42% sorely misled will always be with us...angry white people...
