Fox Poll: Obama By 4 Points Nationally, But 48 Percent Say They Aren’t Better Off
Fox Poll: Obama By 4 Points Nationally, But 48 Percent Say They Aren’t Better Off
A new poll commissioned by Fox News shows President Obama with a 4-point overall lead over Mitt Romney, 45 percent to 41 percent nationally. The internals of the poll underscore the incredbly close nature of the race: 50 percent of those registered voters polled said that Obama deserves re-election, while 48 percent said he does not.
On one of the classic measures of the political winds, 48 percent of voters answered “no” when asked “Thinking about your situation today compared to what it was four years ago, are you better off than you were four years ago, or not?” while 37 percent said they were better off. But one of Obama’s latest proposals fares well – ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. When asked (after some descriptive information), “Which do you agree with more – those who support or oppose tax increases on high-income earners?” 52 percent prefer to let the tax cuts expire.
