My rough summary translation synopsis, from Japanese original to English:

オバマ大統領 支持率４２％ (Obama Support to 42%)

--In a recent reputable poll in the USA, President Obama's national support has fallen to its lowest point since he took office.

--When asked "will he be reelected in November 2012?", the positive answer by Americans only rose to 37%. This shows the decline of Mr. Obama's support.

--American TV network ABC conducted the poll of 1000 people. Only 42% said they support Obama, but 54% said they were opposed to him. This is his lowest rating ever.

--When it comes to the Republican race to challenge Obama, a drop was seen in comparision with previous polling, for Texas Governor Rick Perry what with his slip of the tongue comment in the debate about providing social services' support.

--Mr. Romney now sits at the top of the GOP field.

--However, what is of interest is the rise in support of former pizza chain company magnate Herman Cain, a black man, from the US southern state of Georgia, who has seen his poll numbers move up quickly. This shows the volality of the race on the Republican side as they move to choose their nominee.

ただ、ここにきて、南部ジョージア州出身の黒人で、ピザのチェーン店を経営していたケイン氏も急速に支持を伸ばしており、共和党の候補者選びは混戦の様相を見せています.

Go Herman ケイン!

日本　ピング　 (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)

[political1]

Herman’s got the Japanese vote.

What the poll really reports is that 42% are just as obstinate and dumb as a fence pole.

"Obama Support Falls to 42%"

He's a one-man bear market.

[LibLieSlayer]

1000 people... not even adults... and obama has been falling to 42% for the last year... every poll in the last year... obama falling to 42%... how does one fall and not drop?

for Texas Governor Rick Perry what with his slip of the tongue comment in the debate about providing social services' support.

Providing social services support - is NHK confusing calling SS a Ponzi scheme with in-state tuition for illegals? Maybe just translating an American news wire and not wanting to get into detail on illegal immigration?
