So how has Team Obama’s blitz of negative personal attacks against Mitt Romney fared? According to a three-month poll series on personal qualities by Gallup, the campaign strategy and $120 million ad outlay since May have definitely damaged likeability … for Obama. His likeability edge has dropped by nine points over that period, and he’s still nine points below Romney on the economy — and worse on the budget:
As the two-week period of back-to-back presidential nominating conventions gets underway next Monday, an Aug. 20-22 USA Today/Gallup poll underscores the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two candidates at this point in the campaign. Barack Obama retains a significant edge over Mitt Romney on personal dimensions, particularly in terms of his “likability,” while Americans still believe Romney is better able to handle the economy. …
Gallup has measured the “likability” gap between Obama and Romney three times since May, and Obama’s edge has narrowed during that time.
Additionally, Romney has gained on Obama in being perceived as “a strong and decisive leader,” reducing Obama’s lead on this dimension from 17 points when it was included in Gallup Daily tracking in May to five points today.
I didnt realize that Obama has spent that much already.
Hey, wasnt he just saying not long ago that he was being outspent? Oh well, another lie from the savior of mankind. Meanwhile, liberals continue to cry and whine about a birth certificate joke. LOL Liberalism, we can dish it, but sure as hell cant take it....
