More Voters Oppose Obama than Support Republican Candidates

Polling taken over the past several months shows an interesting trend. More voters overall are willing to vote for “Generic Republican” than for specific GOP candidates.

From July to August 2011 if the general election were held today and President Obama was running against an imaginary republican candidate, then he might lose. The average of major polls show that “Generic Republican” has a 0.2 percent advantage.

While that’s not much, and while it’s in the margin of error, it is something for Obama democrats to worry about. As a general rule, when survey respondents are voting for a generic candidate, it’s not so much an endorsement for a specific party, but an opposition to the current office holder. Voters are saying that they don’t really like Barack Obama.

2. I just took my own Poll™
My Poll™ has the exact opposite numbers as the previous Poll.

If you believe polls, I have a bridge to sell you.
