He's not getting re-elected.

 

"Republican Poll Predicts Good Outcome For Republican"

 

I wish I could agree with you, but a 48 percent approval rating is going to get you re-elected.

 

Especially when Congress is sitting at 10 percent, and Mittens is somewhere in the 20s.

You don't have to have a spectacular approval rating to get elected. Just a better approval rating than your opponent.

 

I can see an Obama / Nixon comparison but Obama is still going to lose like Jimmy Carter

 

Bush II is the only incumbent re-elected with an approval rating of less than 50 percent on Election Day, since '72 as far as I can tell.

Now, I wonder if that will be changing at all, just because it seems that we have to re-calibrate "normal" when it comes to approval ratings. Seems like people in 2012 are more willing to disapprove of the president's performance than they were in 1976 or 1984 or even 1996.

 

Don't get pissed off, but is this really what you think, or are you just funnin' with us right now?

W's was 48 percent the week before the 2004 election.

If Obama is over 45 percent, he'll win.

 

This is why I wonder if we are in a world now where 45-48 percent is the new 50 percent, considering how perpetually pissed off Americans are at their leaders nowadays.

 

I know you guys all hate Rasmussen, but that poll is almost identical to everything else that's out there... The fact that "strongly approve" is low is meaningless. The only thing that matters is that his overall approval rating is at 48 percent, which will get him re-elected.
