And this Associated Press-Knowledge Networks Poll isn't your typical contact them one and get an opinion poll...
http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=213&sid=2099680" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;The AP-KN poll has tracked a group of people and their views since the beginning of the 2008 presidential campaign. Among all 2008 voters, 51 percent say he deserves to be defeated in November 2012 while 47 percent support his re-election _ essentially a tie.
Among Democrats, 47 percent say Obama should be challenged for the 2012 nomination and 51 percent say he should not be opposed. Those favoring a contest include most who backed Hillary Rodham Clinton's unsuccessful faceoff against Obama for the 2008 nomination. The poll did not ask if Democrats would support particular challengers.
Political operatives and polling experts caution that Obama's poll standings say more about people's frustrations today with the economy and other conditions than they do about his re-election prospects. With the next presidential election two years away _ an eon in politics _ the public's view of Obama could easily improve if the economy revives or if he outmaneuvers Republicans on Capitol Hill or in the presidential campaign.
A note: At this stage in the Presidential careers of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, their approval ratings were lower and both won reelection...while at the same point in the careers of Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, their approval ratings were higher and neither won reelection...
