Good numbers for Romney! My hero will defeat that Marxist Muslim and in the end he will gain 400 EVs and become our 45th President!

In all seriousness 49% against the strongest GOPer and only 44% approval? Republicans cannot be liking this.

Obama's numbers against the Republicans always tend to be 2-3% higher than his approval ratings.

This probably has to do with more people in the "disapprove" camp voting for him than people in the "approve" camp are voting for the Republicans.

The fact that the GOP is consistently trailing when Obama is doing as badly as he is does not bode well for them at all.

Obama is always ahead of his approvals because he's done everything in his power to make liberals hate him. But they'll never vote against him.

Repealing DADT, taking out Bin Laden, saving the U.S. Auto Industry, removing soldiers from Iraq and bringing the heroes home, taking out Gaddafi without a invasion, national health care reform (breaking news, the Supreme Court will hear cases, it's official)

Lots of victories liberals and progressives love

Sure he couldn't get 100% done, but who can?  Obama was successful where Bush had failed.

Typical Liberal, blame Bush when he hasn't been in office for 3 years now. This is Obama's watch now and he hasn't done much.  Unemployment is still above 8% and hasn't gone down much, corporate taxes are one of the highest in the world and companies are moving overseas cause it's more business friendly. Obama says businesses are lazy, but the fact is it's hard to hire with excessive regulations.

[Yank2133]

That is BS

Corporations had record high in profits in the last year. Over-regulation isn't the problem, the lack of demand is.

[Phony Moderate]

Typical Liberal

Typical Collectivist Conservative.

It's probably going to take at least a decade to repair the damage Bush did, so, uh...

Right...

Then tell me why corporate tax is 35-38% for the highest income levels?

As long as conservatives still bring up Carter from the 1970s to compare Obama to then yes I will still bring up the Bush Presidency under George W Failure.  And yes Obama was successful where Bush failed.  Obama made the elimination of Bin Laden a priority; Bush said he didn't know and didn't think about him (bin laden)

Also many corporations have an effective 0% tax rate due to tax breaks and loop holes.

So you mean the Democrats having the House and Senate for 2 years with the Presidency isn't enough to fix the 6 years of conservative Republican control with the Presidency, House and Senate!  What a shock!

Explain to me what another 4 years of Obama would do to 'bring back US to normal'?  More spending and debt, similar to the Bush presidency? More government waste on stupid projects like this one, the bridge to nowhere in Jefferson county, costing 3 million dollars. How about bailing out GM and Fannie Mae demanding another $7.8 billion in tax payers money?  Both parties Republican and Democrat are guilty of spending excessive amounts of money.  Obama isn't doing any better than Bush.

Jefferson County =/= Obama; Nice try though

What is the GOP plan?  Cut to prosperity?  Lower taxes for billionaires even more?  Hah!
