That's just one finding in a brutal CNN poll
I saw that, but it wasn't from FOX so I didn't believe it.

"whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent."
53 to 44 -- 5 people out of 100 allegedly switching.
One out of 20.
"Whopping" indeed. ::eyeroll::
real per-capita non-defense gov't spending.
People would like Obama more if he could open the spending taps like Bush did.
Well-played, GOP, well-played.

Yet another article written by a right-wing propaganda machine about a fantasy world with no bearing on ours.

Is this by any chance a zzyzzx post ?
Why yes, yes it is.
Gettin a little one dimensional there zz. Just sayin.
That's okay. Please let us know when another survey comes out telling us how disappointed everyone is with Obama.
Also, let us know when the economy (especially employment and standard of living) is projected to improve a lot, so we can get a republican in there to take credit for it.
The last time the economy improved a lot was the 90s. But fortunately Ken Star was at work for a few years and managed to find a little dirt to stick to the guy, so they could impeach him. Still, I guess he has to get some credit.
I am no fan of Obama, holding him responsible for the Sandy Hook Hoax, but he doesn't seek as much war as the Republicans surely would.
The Sandy Hook HOAX?!?!

If Marcus is talking about Clinton, let me remind all that it was Clinton who signed NAFTA, Clinton who gave China most favored nation trading status, Clinton who set the stage for massive offshoring and tax breaks for doing so, and Clinton who refused to go after Osama Bin Laden after he bombed our war ship. Clinton's presidency set the stage for the downfall of America. No republican could have done it better. The fact that the economy expanded was due to the tech industry really adding value and growing exponentially. With that kind of growth it was also simple to balance the budget, so that required no Herculean effort. Billy boy was a GOP placeholder, a Rhodes scholar sellout to the "Majestic" plan to topple America.

Americans are so down on President Obama at the moment that, if they could do the 2012 election all over again, they'd overwhelmingly back the former Massachusetts governor's bid. That's just one finding in a brutal CNN poll, released Sunday, which shows Romney topping Obama in a re-election rematch by a whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent. That's an even larger spread than CNN found in November, when a survey had Romney winning a redo 49 percent to 45 percent.
Two years ago, Obama won re-election with about 51 percent of the vote.
Of course, the poll should be taken with a grain of salt. While Obama is actually taking on the tough task of leading the nation, Romney is sitting comfortably on the sidelines. Still, the finding comes as foreign and domestic crises have sent Obama's approval rating tumbling back to 40 percent, per Gallup.
