This poll really seems to indicate where we are in this election. And although it is being put out by a conservative organization, it seems to have used a polling company who did a fair analyis and reported from all sides of the debate. Fifty-two percent of likely voters say the nation is in âworse conditionâ now than in September 2008, while 54 percent say Obama does not deserve reelection based solely on his job performance. Only 31 percent of voters believe the nation is in âbetter condition,â while 15 percent say it is âabout the same,â the poll found. Just 40 percent of voters said Obama deserves reelection........ Obamaâs biggest problem remains voter unhappiness with his handling of the economy. Fifty percent of voters said they were âvery unsatisfiedâ with Obamaâs stewardship of the economy. Another 8 percent said they were somewhat unsatisfied....... The poll found 46 percent of voters believe Romney will win the Nov. 6 election, compared to 43 percent who said they expect Obama to win. The Hillâs poll was conducted Sept. 2 among 1,000 likely voters by Pulse Opinion Research. It has a 3 percentage point margin of error....... The GOP attacks have been helped along by Maryland Gov. Martin OâMalley (D), who on Sunday answered ânoâ to the question of whether the country was better off four years after Obamaâs election. OâMalley on Monday reversed himself, saying the nation is âclearly better off.â But OâMalleyâs misstep allowed Republicans to go on offense. The Hillâs polling shows skepticism about the president is entrenched among coveted centrist voters who are key to the election outcome. Fifty-two percent of centrists said Obama does not deserve reelection based on his job performance, 56 percent are unsatisfied with his handling of the economy and 53 percent feel the country is worse off. Men (57 percent) are more likely than women (51 percent) to believe Obama does not deserve reelection. The poll found sharp partisan differences in views about Obama. While 78 percent of Democrats believe the president deserves reelection, 1 in 5 do not believe he should get a second term. A poll for The Hill in early July also found 1 in 5 Democrats feel Obama has changed the nation for the worse as president. Eighty percent of Republicans believe Obama doesnât deserve reelection, and only 11 percent think he does. Among âotherâ voters â those who said they were neither Democrats nor Republicans â 61 percent say Obama does not deserve reelection. The Obama campaignâs challenges extend to voters of all ages. Among those aged 18-39 â a voting bloc that helped push Obama to victory in 2008 â 51 percent said the president does not deserve reelection, while 40 percent said he does. Anti-Obama sentiment is strongest among seniors, the poll found. Sixty-five percent of voters aged 65 and over said Obama shouldnât get a second term, while 53 percent of voters 40-64 years old feel the same. Obama is also facing stiff headwinds on the economy among lower-middle-class and middle-class voters. Among voters earning $40,000 to $60,000 a year, 67 percent said they were not satisfied with the presidentâs handling of the economy and 62 percent said the country is in worse condition now than in 2008. Similarly, 58 percent of people earning between $20,000 and $40,000 a year said the country is worse off now, and 66 percent are unhappy with his handling of the economy. The Hillâs pollâs sample included 51 percent women and 49 percent men. It had a slightly larger sample of Republicans â 36 percent â than Democrats, 34 percent. Thirty percent of those polled identified themselves as being neither Democrat nor Republican. http://thehill.com/conventions-2012...hill-poll-voters-think-second-term-undeserved
