Low Approval Numbers for Obama
The latest Quinnipiac Poll shows that 52% of voters disapprove of the job that President Obama is doing right now. That does not look impressive for the President. However, 69% of voters say they like him as a person while only 13% do not like him as a person.
Mitt Romney is perceived by voters as someone who do a better job on the economy than Obama, with 46 percent saying so, compared to 42 percent who say Obama would do a better job. Voters also stated that the economy is not the only factor they consider when voting. Romney and Obama would theortically tie in a head-to-head vote with nothing else to consider. This is why it is very important to choose a Republican VP candidate who is not an extremeist like Palin was for McCain.
Obama and Perry virtually tie in how voters feel they would handle the economy, with 43 percent saying Obama would do a better job, and 41 percent saying Perry would.
Though voters may fault Obama for failing to fix the economy, most do not blame him for the current economic climate. 53 percent blame the current condition of the economy on former President George W. Bush, while just 32 percent blame it on Obama.
