CBS Poll: 54% says Obama does not deserve a second term

CBS poll: Just 41 percent of Americans think Mr. Obama has performed his job well enough to be elected to a second term, whereas 54 percent don’t think so. And most of the 41% think Obama’s job is flying around the world to play golf.

  • During the interview, Obamarama was asked if it was not his job as President to come up with solutions to problems, and reduce partisanship in Congress. He didn't have much to say about that except that it was all the fault of Republicans in Congress.

    • Obama always plays the victim card, right after one of his loonies throws down the race card....He's just a victim...poor baby, then perhaps if things are that bad, he should take his ball and go home...Resign and let Joe stumble all overhimself..

  • That's because those collecting unemployment for more than 52 weeks, collecting welfare, and the loyal and brainwashed leftists, add up to 41%.

  • Look at history.
    1980 - Carter got about 40% with his horrible performance.
    1984 - Mondale got about 40% even with the economy roaring back.
    1988 - Dukakis got about 40%.

    No matter what happens, there are about 40% of the people in the USA who will pull the lever for a Democrat.
    Our job is to make sure there is no third party running on the Republican side.

  • As useless and lazy as "Dear Leader" has been here the last 3 years, I surprised it's even as high as 41 percent. Notice when ever something important need to be done, the clown runs off on yet another vacation, then comes back and blames everyone else when he dosen't get his way.

  • This is particularly bad news for Obama because the CBS poll notoriously oversamples liberals and therefore frequently paints too rosy of a picture.

  • "And most of the 41% think Obama’s job is flying around the world to play golf"

    Think? That's mighty generous of you to give them that much credit.

    The reality is that if Obama went out on the Virginia Tech campus and shot a couple of dozen people, and then went to Penn State and molested a few dozen boys, and did NOTHING else since Jan 29, 2009, that 41% would still think he's doing a splendid job.
