American
Pulse™: 47.9% Say They Would Vote for Someone Other than Obama
Voter
Discontent with Congress; 13% Plan to Re-elect Incumbent Congressperson
COLUMBUS,
OH – (MARKET WIRE) – 1/27/10 – Almost half (47.9%) of registered voters
say that if the Presidential election were held today they would vote
for someone other than President Obama, according to the latest
American Pulse survey of over 5,000 Americans. 37.1% would vote to
re-elect him while 15% are undecided (65.1% of those undecided are
Democrats and Independents). Less than stellar grades regarding
campaign promises he made on reforming healthcare, job creation and
transparency could be some of the reasons why people are currently less
likely to vote for President Obama than they are for someone else.
What
grade would you give President Obama for his efforts regarding each of
his following campaign promises?: (Registered Voters)
National health
Create millions of jobs Be the most

Further, it appears that Democrats on Capitol Hill have their work cut
out for them if they hope to maintain majorities in the House and
Senate come November. Regarding Congressional seats up for election,
13.1% of registered voters plan to re-elect their incumbent, 33.5% plan
to vote for someone new and over half (50.4%) are undecided.
There also seems to be some uncertainty in the Democratic Party; over
half of the party’s registered voters are undecided about how they will
vote.
Regarding Congressional seats up
for election in November, do you plan on re-electing the incumbent
representative or voting in someone new?
