Grim poll numbers for a vacationing Obama
Posted By Admin on September 11, 2011
US President Barack Obama can revel all he wants in what appears to be a well-played strategy in Libya, but a Gallup poll released Monday shows that he’s not faring too well against the top Republican presidential candidates.
The poll, taken last week, matched the president up against GOP candidates Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and Ron Paul. Among registered voters, Obama was bested by Romney by 2 percentage points and tied with Perry. He only managed to beat Bachmann and Paul by a small margin. (A monthly survey by Public Policy Polling offered Democrats a slightly more assuring story: Obama is tied with Romney, but surpasses the rest of the GOP field by larger margins.)
