ABC News:
....Fifty percent of Americans in this new ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Obama’s job performance, the most since spring. Fifty percent say he deserves re-election, better than Bill Clinton at the start of his re-election year and as good as George W. Bush a month before he won a second term. And Obama now leads Romney among registered voters by a slight 51-45 percent, the first time either has cracked 50 percent in a series of matchups since spring......
The other: questions focused on Romney’s wealth, his low tax burden and, relatedly, his ability to connect with average Americans. Notably, 52 percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, say the more they hear about Romney the less they like him – double the number who like him more.
Based on his roughly 14 percent tax rate on 2010 income of about $22 million, the public by a broad 66-30 percent says Romney is not paying his fair share of taxes; even nearly half of Republicans say so, as do half of very conservative Americans. The public by 53-36 percent, a 17-point margin, thinks Obama better understands the economic problems people are having. Obama leads Romney by 55-37 percent in trust to better protect the interests of the middle class, and remarkably, by 10 points, 52-42 percent, in trust to handle taxes.....
Let me highlight that important sentence from the ABC News report:
...Notably, 52 percent in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates, say the more they hear about Romney the less they like him – double the number who like him more.....
Whoa! Do you think that Romney's presidential campaign that seems like it has been going on since 2007, just is boring the heck out of people? It also might be that Romney seems to lack passion. His lack of passion for the poor, minorities, the unemployed, the elderly, etc., just makes people wince every single time he speaks. Personally, I look away from the TV when his face appears, and I automatically disregard what he says. Americans just doesn't have it.
Mitt Romney is about as exciting, creative, and interesting as a baloney sandwich on white bread.
