CNN poll: 52% say Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012

By Michael O'Brien - 02/16/10 01:35 PM ET

52 percent of Americans said President Barack Obama doesn't deserve reelection in 2012, according to a new poll.

44 percent of all Americans said they would vote to reelect the president in two and a half years, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else.

Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters, according to a CNN/Opinion Research poll released Tuesday. Four percent had no opinion.

The reelection numbers are slightly more sour than Obama's approval ratings, which are basically tied. 49 percent of people told CNN that they approve of the way Obama is handling his job, while 50 percent disapprove.

Still, the 2012 election is still a long way's away, with this fall's midterm elections looming large. Republicans are hoping to make inroads into Congress, while Democrats are hoping to hold onto gains won in the 2006 and 2008 cycles.

Respondents to CNN were split at 46 percent as to whether they preferred a generic Republican or Democratic candidate in this fall's elections.

At least one retiring lawmaker is confident Obama will sail to reelection, with Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) predicting Monday the president would win "overwhelmingly" in 2012.

The CNN poll, conducted Feb. 12-15, has a three percent margin of error.

We're deciding if Obama should be re-elected one year into his presidency? Really? Slow news day I guess.

clinton's first 2 years were a total disaster. at election time, the economy bounced back (b/c gore invented the internet) and americans were busy shopping at the malls and car dealerships so he got another 4 years. i think it was a landslide victory.

i think the same will apply in obama's case. the economy will bounce back, banks will be sound, stock market will be booming and he'll say "i did it" and he'll be reelected. it will take a major F up on his part not to get reelected if the economy is good.

anyone have any data on the success of getting reelected in a good vs. bad economy? reelection is all about the economy in my opinion.

Things "change" fast but right now I'd say Obama would lose by 1 or 2 percent.

By 2012 Republicans will be the majority in the Congress or at least very close to a majority...You never would have thought that would be possible in December of 2008. I guess Obama and the dem majority got played out real fast...

Ironically, Bush has been painted in the same picture in the past, and rightfully so.

A little re-education. Gore helped with finding funds for the internet infrastructure. Without his political charisma, we would not have the internet except at the university and military levels. It's written in a lot of Networking book about the history of the internet, and how it evolved.

I read in a frontend developer's book that Gore jacked off into a kleenex, looked at it, and as a result coined the phrase "GUI".
