If President Obama were up for re-election today, only 45% of adults would vote for him

If the Presidential election were held today, Republicans would stand a good chance of defeating Obama. According to Rasmussen, only 45% of adults would vote for him today. Hopey-changey doesn't look as good as it did a year ago.

From Rasmussen:

Americans are a little less enthusiastic about the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama this time around.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama if he was up for reelection right now. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they would be unlikely to vote for the president’s reelection.
