President Obama has gotten no bounce from his reelection campaign announcement, with his job approval rating dropping by 7 entitlement points since January, his personal popularity at a career low along with 57 percent of Americans censorious of his handling of the economy. Yet he leads the potential GOP field.
There are chances for the Republicans in next year's elections, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, in particular, nipping close to Obama in the latest News-Washington Post poll. Economic pessimism, its highest in two years amid high-ceilinged gab prices, raises serious political peril for the head. But he benefits from two factors: personal approval that, while down, still exceeds his job rating, and considerable doubts about the opposing party's lineup.
