We are ten months away from the 2010 elections, but the 2012 polling has officially begun. A new poll takes a look at Obama's standing with the electorate. This one doesn't ask about job performance, it focused on reelection. Obama doesn't fare too well, which isn't a surprise given the current state of the economy and increasing dissatisfaction among the base:
A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already vote against Pres. Obama if the '12 elections were held today, according to a new survey.The good news is that it's January of 2010. The bad news is that this poll is still a snapshot of what people currently think of the President, and it's not great.
The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they definitely would do so.
