A president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) at least somewhat disapprove (see trends).

My first choice didn't run, and neither did my second. And of the seven candidates who did run, Romney was my eighth choice. BUT... I will vote for him over Obama any day, also.
It frustrates me as well... his supporters are a conglomeration of those who are enamored with the "cool, black guy" image (effeminate isn't "cool," IMO), the parasites who won't get off their shiftless a**es and earn an honest day's work, the moonbats who simply hate everything this country stands for, the 49.5% who pay no income taxes (and like it that way), and of course the "aggrieved" and "diversity" classes.
I remember that, and was surprised it was that close... that was during the pre-Palin era, and McCain ginned all the excitement of a garden snail race.
So much for Obama’s theoretical victory after Walker won.
The one constant in most of the likely voter polls seems to be a 44% share for Obama. Needless to say, if this number holds, the Won is toast. Even if he was to get every undecided vote, which he won’t, going into the Fall with only 44% is fatal. When you consider the rat popular vote advantage in California and New York, the electoral map very much favors Romney.
Among the groups Obama won in 2008 he is not doing better with a single one, not even Blacks. Among the groups he lost he has not improved with let alone moved to his column. So where Rasmussen gets these numbers is a mystery. I think he is trying to make a horse race out of an ash kicking. This guy is hustling us.
If he's at this level in Nov, he wins.
