Did you even read the article his rating did not even drop that much at all the real thing is election day the early polls do not mean jack
any drop is worth mentioning even though it is 5 months away; I agree 5 months is a long time, but right now, things just keep looking worse and worse for his re-election. No one is saying it's all over, but you do have to admit or should anyway, he isn't a shoe-in by any means.
Polls do not mean jack polls for walker barrett were neck & neck the out come was kinda one sided this shows how polls do mean anything. In real reality Obama is winning that is what matters people do not want to vote for someone is will only help the rich. Dixie I know your a big time Romney troll if you can prove me wrong post cold hard facts how Romney will help everyone. I want to see if you can be the first Romney troll to post facts. I am not talk about views from like Rush or Faux Snooze real solid facts. I am most certainly sure you can not
So Dixie posts an article using a Reuters Poll and how Obama has dropped 3 points in approval down to 47% while the economic fears grow. Then you respond with a completely different poll...where he is at 49%....doesn't make much sense, but okay.
Bottom line, Obama is struggling. His performance as president is not viewed well by most Americans.
That's because most Americans have not the slightest clue as to economics, and especially what's going on right now and what's in store. They are looking at one thing, and one thing only: The unemployment rate. Somehow we have become fixated on 5% as THE goal line. The concept that we may never reach that level ever again, and that 7-8% unemployment may actually be the new 5%, is never raised in the media. It should be. We may look back on this time and say, "Ya know, 8.2% wasn't so bad after all."
And then there is the complicity of the Republicans, especially in the House. Since when do you get to block everything a President does, and then decry that same President for not being able to get anything done? Isn't that kinda like killing your parents and then throwing yourself on the mercy of the court because you're an orphan?

5% was the goal line for decades. Lowering expectations is not an acceptable solution.
If the Republicans want to tell themselves fairytales in order to convince themselves that Romney has a chance...by all means knock yourselves out.
The fact remains that Romney has not been able to articulate HOW he is better than President Obama and WHAT he will do differently for America. People are not angry enough to vote for the GOP and their lack of solutions.

I have a feeling you would have laughed at Republicans who made this argument for Bush when he was at 6% unemployment.
Since when does Senate get to refuse to take up anything passed in the House, not pass something them self, and then blame it on the House while their adoring legions cheer them on?
