The Polling Report [6.4.12]

The new CNN poll late last week had some good news for the President despite a bad week economically. The poll echoed others on the econony: that if Americans are seeing economic troubles in their own lives and communities, they’re not taking it out on President Obama, as his approval rating is up to 52% and he leads Mitt Romney among voters by three points, 49% to 46%.

There is also an enthusiasm gap, with Obama voters more strongly behind him than Romney’s supporters. And on the most important question of this election: Who do you think better understands the problems faced by ordinary Americans — Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?” Obama leads by 19, 55% to 34%.

Over the weekend, have two new polls in California, which only confirm that RustyDils is a blithering idiot, as Obama leads by double digits in both of them. And we have a new poll out of New Mexico, but confirms the state’s strong Obama status.
