NC-Magellan Strategies: Obama @ 40% approval, leads Romney and Perry

Something ain't adding up. 52% disapproval yet he wins? Hmmm...

If you look at his opponents it adds up.  Perry could be viewed as nothing more than a more conservative George W Bush.  Romney as Mr. "Corporations are people"

Look at their approval and disapproval numbers; Perry and Romney also have net negative approval

If asked if I approve of Barack Obama I would say I disapprove.  I think he has gave too much ground to the conservatives, I think he has embraced too many conservative economic policies.  However I would answer that I would vote for the President

A second North Carolina poll showing a statistical dead heat is bad for the GOP.  Again not because of North Carolina itself, but because of of the other swing states that are a few more points Democratic than North Carolina

(The D figure represents how much more Democratic the states voted averaged with 2004 and 2008)
Virginia D+2.5 over North Carolina
Ohio D+2.5 over North Carolina
Florida D+2 over North Carolina

Not to mention Ohio and Florida have two unpopular Republican governors.  North Carolina is not a must win for the Democrats, but it is for the GOP

Florida has a very high number of seniors.  I can't imagine Florida voting less Democratic than North Carolina with the "Medicare voucher program" and "Social security is a scam" slogans of the GOP.  Also Florida has been voting rather consistent over the past few elections with one or two points more Republican than the nation as a whole.  Ohio I'm not sure about
