A new ABC News-Washington Post poll finds Mitt Romney has emerged from the Republican primary season with the weakest favorability rating on record for a presumptive presidential nominee since 1984, trailing President Obama in personal popularity by 21 percentage points.An unpopular guy, that is, who's edging Obama in the polls (or at least is statistically tied).
Romney is the first likely nominee to be underwater - seen more unfavorably than favorably - in eight presidential primary seasons across the past 28 years.
If Obama is neck-and-neck with the least popular candidate since Walter Mondale, that does not bode well.
I think Romney will have to do something very smart and Obama do something very stupid in order for Romney to win. Thus Ronmey's fate is in Obama's hands.JL
ReplyDeleteI dunno ... the economy has a long way to go.
ReplyDeleteI recall the Saudis were supposed to start releasing more oil & driving gas prices down; they probably don't want another GOP president.
