Disgustingly so, but does it translate to a win on Election Day?
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, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance
(RCP avg. is 47.1% and the latest Gallup is 43%)
“(RCP avg. is 47.1% and the latest Gallup is 43%)”
And Gallup has 0bama +1 over Romeny. Go figure. I mean they have 0bamam @ 43% approval, but getting 48% of the vote. Ras has 0bama approval at 48%, but the Won is only getting 44% of the vote. Sounds ass backwards to me.
