On Monday, President Obama officially threw his hat in the reelection ring and it sounded suspiciously like an old joke.
Man: Ask me what makes me so funny.
Woman: What makes you …
Man: Timing.
Because on Thursday Rasmussen released a new poll that made the reelection bid seem a bit quixotic:
President Obama this week declared his intention to seek reelection, but just over one-quarter of voters say they share the same political views as the president.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 57% believe the president is more politically liberal than they are, while just nine percent (9%) say he is more conservative. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of voters say their political views are about the same as the president’s.
Of course, that’s just 28% of living voters. Democrat polls show that Obama’s political views are shared by 100% of dead voters, so he’s expected to cruise to an easy reelection victory.
