CNN poll: 52% say Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012
By Michael O'Brien - 02/16/10 01:35 PM ET
52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.
44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.
Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.
The reelection numbers are slightly more sour than Obama's approval ratings, which are basically tied. 49 percent of people told CNN that they approve of the way Obama is handling his job, while 50 percent disapprove.
Still, the 2012 election is still a long way's away, with this fall's midterm elections looming large. Republicans are hoping to make inroads into Congress, while Democrats are hoping to hold onto gains won in the 2006 and 2008 cycles.
Respondents to CNN were split at 46 percent as to whether they preferred a generic Republican or Democratic candidate in this fall's elections.
At least one retiring lawmaker is confident Obama will sail to reelection, with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) predicting Monday the president would win "overwhelmingly" in 2012.
The CNN poll, conducted Feb. 12-15, has a three percent margin of error.
(snicker)
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya...
These polls from the previous
Administration.
The haiku of FAIL.
AND reported the results...
And only idiots say he deserved a first.
I wanna show you something. It’s my shocked face. :-o
...I’m surprised it’s ONLY 52% that don’t think he deserves a 2nd term...
I’m shocked that there are evidently 48% who would reelect him.
Now thats a real shocker ha! Obama needs to be removed from office NOW before there is nothing left. All I can say is GOD help us!!
I could have told them that over a year ago now we all have to put up with his BS for the next three years.
Friday night when Geraldo started in on the president, I knew it was over. I think only Juan Williams is left to defend the great zero.
tee hee [covering mouth]
No shocker. It’s probably even worse if CNN is reporting this.
%52 negative?
Gee, I wonder what they would have gotten had they polled some Conservative voters?
LOL. This from a quitter who got out before the deluge.
Here’s another shocker: He didn’t deserve the FIRST term, for heaven’s sake. Our media needs to be punished for at least a decade over their fawning, non-vetting coverage of this fraud who is currently occupying the Oval Office. To this day, I have never uttered or written the words “president” and Obama together. Something just isn’t American about this guy, his name, and his background. A fraud. An imposter. He needs to go.
I suspect the ‘Bradley effect’ is now taking hold in opinion polls about Obama.

What’s that?
And this is a CNN poll?
I wonder what the real numbers are?
*ouch*
He doesn’t deserve to finish this one let alone re election. Impeach the fraud

"The Bradley effect, less commonly called the Wilder effect,[1][2] is a theory proposed to explain observed discrepancies between voter opinion polls and election outcomes in some US government elections where a white candidate and a non-white candidate run against each other.[3][4][5] Instead of ascribing the results to flawed methodology on the part of the pollster, the theory proposes that some voters tend to tell pollsters that they are undecided or likely to vote for a black candidate, and yet, on election day, vote for the white opponent. It was named after Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American who lost the 1982 California governor's race despite being ahead in voter polls going into the elections.[6]
The Bradley effect theorizes that the inaccurate polls were skewed by the phenomenon of social desirability bias.[7][8] Specifically, some white voters give inaccurate polling responses for fear that, by stating their true preference, they will open themselves to criticism of racial motivation. Members of the public may feel under pressure to provide an answer that is deemed to be more publicly acceptable, or 'politically correct'. The reluctance to give accurate polling answers has sometimes extended to post-election exit polls as well. The race of the pollster conducting the interview may factor in to voters' answers.
Some analysts have dismissed the theory of the Bradley effect,[9] or argued that it may have existed in past elections, but not in more recent ones. Others believe that it is a persistent phenomenon.[10] Similar effects have been posited in other contexts, notably the Shy Tory Factor and spiral of silence." ....

That tells me 48% of Americans are living in a cave...
...or in Harlem.
And the lesson learned is this:
One can cheat (Read: ACORN) throughout exams and studies.
But when the real test comes up, cheating won’t fix the reality in one’s favor.
His supporters are fiction.
As is his support.
A fantasy.
What the he!! does that have to do with this story??!
I don’t think Barry is going to run for reelection anyway.
That seems to be the new ‘Rat MO. When the polls show a ‘Rat politician in trouble for their reelection bids, they quit. See Evan Bayh as the most recent example of this.
That’s going to leave a mark. Put some ice on it.
And, this is after only one year of his blunders~!
Amazing that as a country, we are 2 PERCENT from being INSANE!
Now let's really get rid of him, and all his cohorts in Congress.
44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else
NO! NO! IT’S:
52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn’t deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.
The heck with the second term.
This unqualified poser did nothing to deserve the first.
well done.
*************************************
I think this poll is intended to stop the rats from jumping ship. This is say to other democRATS, wait, dont leave, Barry might be gone in two years, so just wait it out.
44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.
That's still a boatload of idiots.
He doesnt deserve this term!
Does anyone bother to read the article? 52% would not vote for 0bama again and 44% would. That’s an 8% difference.
Now ain't that just comforting!
Every day that goes by and every press release is digging a hole this administration will eventually be unable to climb out of. Buzzing this week is about taxing the middle class....and the buzzing isn't only among middle class conservatives and independents. People are weary of the almost daily assault we face from this administration.
Exactly.
And Obama's answer to this weariness is to get in front of the cameras MORE. He thinks he hasn't communicated well enough. LOL!
I say GO for it, Obama. Make everyone sick of you!
Yup.
What is CNN driving at via their poll, dictatorship or more change?
I NEVER watch Geraldo for even a minute anymore, because of the very reason that he has such a love/crush affair going on with obama!
If he says something negative about obama then it is falling apart for the fake-o!
I bet he can get that up closer to 70% in another year!
