November 2, 2011 - American Voters Like Obama Better This Week, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Cain And Gingrich Up As Romney Stalls And Perry Fades

President Barack Obama's job approval rating is up, from a negative 41 - 55 percent October 5, to a split today with 47 percent approving and 49 percent disapproving in a Quinnipiac University poll released today. The president has leads of 5 to 16 percentage points over likely Republican challengers.

Voters also are divided 47 - 49 percent on whether Obama deserves reelection, compared to last month, when voters said 54 - 42 percent he did not deserve reelection.

Former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain leads the Republican presidential primary field with 30 percent, followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 23 percent, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 10 percent and Texas Gov. Rick Perry with 8 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. No other candidate tops 7 percent.

"President Barack Obama seems to be improving in voters' eyes almost across-the-board," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "He scores big gains among the groups with whom he has had the most problems - whites and men. Women also shift from a five-point negative to a four-point positive.

Obama also is looking better in matchups against potential Republican nominees:

• 52 - 36 percent over Perry, up from a 45 - 44 percent tie last month;
• 50 - 40 percent over Cain, who was not included in a matchup last month;
• 52 - 37 percent over Gingrich, who was not matched last month.

... I was really hoping he would be the best the Republicans have.

could it be because it's good news?

...where it's easy and convenient.

I guess since it's good news, they're staying away. Sad for them.

Which always works.

And the more exposure the R clowns get, the more they will sink.

it's still sweet :fistbump:

:woohoo:

He's always been the odds on favorite to win reelection. I think the economy has picked up enough momentum that the Republican efforts to bring about a double dip recession will fail and Obama will win easily next Fall.

OWS has turned the discussion towards issues that strongly favor Democrats as well. They may not actively promote candidates next fall, but they've sure tipped things in the Democrats favor as far as the debate goes.
