Obama Presidency a Failure

In spite of the Republican primary circus, Obama still has to be seen as vulnerable.

Fifty percent of Americans consider his presidency to be a failure.
From International Business Times:

The economy may be getting better, but 50 percent of Americans say President Barack Obama's first term has been a failure, according to a recent poll.

Another 44 percent of respondents in a USA Today/Gallup poll considered Obama a success so far.

...While 58 percent surveyed said Obama has the personality and leadership qualities needed in a president, less than half, 47 percent, agreed with him on their top issues; 51 percent said he was "too liberal."

Americans are clearly not satisfied with Obama, but they aren't thrilled with the Republican candidates.

For Mitt Romney, 53 percent of Americans feel he has presidential qualities, on par with Rick Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania.

On the issues that matter most to Americans, 42 percent of voters said Romney and Santorum agree with them. On the political leanings of the GOP candidates, 36 percent said Romney was "about right" while 38 percent said Santorum is "too conservative."

Meanwhile, most Republican voters surveyed said they wish there was another candidate running for the the party's nomination.

Will Americans warm up to one of the Republicans?

Will dissatisfaction with Obama be enough to propel the Republican nominee into office?

Anybody but Obama.
