The Fox News poll measured favorable/unfavorable ratings for the President, his rivals and the two political parties.
President Obama is at 50%, with 47% unfavorable
Mitt Romney is at 39%, with a 49% unfavorable
Democrats are at 48% favorable, with 44% unfavorable.
Republicans are at 39% with a 52% unfavorable.
Is the economy turning around?
Yes, it is! gets 58% and No gets 40%.
Who wins in the Presidential election? President Obama at 46% and Romney at 42%. and the President crushes anyone else.
What is worrisome to me is that like with many polls, Obama's favorables are way ahead of Romney's for example, but the margin of lead is not as correspondingly large. Robert Samuelson wrote about this reveal weeks ago in the Washington Post that while indicators of a President Obama victory are there his leads over Romney--except in the Pew poll--has been marginal or slim. This suggests that people actually sense a fragility in the current economic situation and their decisions are not as finalized as one would believe.
