Less than half support Obama for second term

OBAMA AT RISK: Less than half support a second term. "Fifty-one percent of voters surveyed said they don’t think Obama should have a second term at the White House, while 47 percent signaled that he deserves four more years. These numbers are hardly encouraging for Obama, who is back to raising cash for his reelection campaign after a brief hiatus – attending two back-to-back DNC events Monday evening -- but he is faring pretty well compared to his colleagues in Congress. Only 24 percent of those polled think a majority of lawmakers on Capitol Hill deserve re-election." What about democrats? Apparently they're below ideal levels of optimism. "Finding it hard to defend his often listless and repetitive performances, Democratic strategists and commentators are privately agreeing with Republicans and comparing Mr Obama to Jimmy Carter, another Democrat who remains the post-war benchmark for a failed president." Obama, in many ways, is comparable to that awful phone you used prior to 2007; it works on some level, and there are no favourable alternatives. We're all just waiting for the iPhone to come along.
