Poll: Majority Says Obama Shouldn't Be Re-Elected

A majority of Americans now believe President Barack Obama doesn't deserve re-election in 2012, according to a new CNN poll released Tuesday.

Just 44 percent of all Americans told pollsters they would re-elect Obama in 2012, less than the slight majority who said they would prefer to elect someone else, according to The Hill.

CNN reported their poll showed Obama faces a 44-52 deficit among both all Americans and registered voters. Four percent had no opinion.

Meanwhile, Obama’s approval/disapproval ratings are basically tied -- 49 percent of people told CNN that they approve of the way Obama is handling his job, while 50 percent disapprove.

Respondents to CNN were split at 46 percent as to whether they preferred a generic Republican or Democratic candidate in this fall's elections.

The CNN poll, conducted Feb. 12-15, has a three percent margin of error.
