Obama's
2012 Prospects
by Ho Reuters
Obama faces uncertain prospects for
2012 as many voters question whether he deserves a second term, a new
poll said on Monday.
The Quinnipiac University poll said American voters by 49 percent to 43
percent do not think Obama
has earned a second term, and they put him in a statistical dead heat
with Romney and Huckabee.
Obama leads Sarah Palin by 48 percent to 40 percent, the poll found.
Democratic voters say 64 to 27 that they do not want anyone to
challenge Obama in 2012.
"The Democratic base remains squarely behind Obama when it comes to his
re-election, but his weakness among
independent voters makes his re-election uncertain," said Peter Brown,
assistant director of Quinnipiac Polling.
The poll found only 39 percent of men, 34 percent of whites, 35 percent
of political independents
and 38 percent of those over age 35 think Obama deserves re-election.
Obama has lost men, whites, independents and people over the age of 35.
Recognizing those facts causes Democrats and old friends to call me a Republican.
It's 2008, all over again.
