Enthusiasm Comparably High for Obama Reelection


A new Pew Research survey finds enthusiasm for President Obama's reelection greater than the levels for President Clinton in 1994 and President Reagan in 1982. A majority of voters would like to see Obama run for reelection, 47% to 42%, while just 36% said in August 1982 that they wanted to see Reagan run.

Interesting observation: Clinton and Reagan both received less than 50% support in the poll and went on to be reelected by wide margins, while Presidents Carter and H.W. Bush, polled in 1978 and 1990 respectively, both received 50% or more and failed to win reelection.

1. It's clear from his latest rallies

People still love him very much. It's congressional Dems that they dislike.

2. Which means he could campaign in a selfish way like Clinton and not aid other dems.

I'm not saying he will but he could.

3. Pssst, Hey media! Go fuck yourselves.
