Obama disapproval on the rise, WH focuses on 2012> The latest round of poll numbers have the administration looking toward 2012

WASHINGTON, DC—The latest Rasmussen Reports shows Obama’s disapproval has risen to 55 percent of likely voters, with 45 percent approving of his job performance. Recent defections include white liberals and some Hispanics, unhappy with the White House challenge to Arizona’s new immigration law.

A recent Politico piece reports the White House has dispatched aides to Florida to clean up Obama’s lack luster oil spill response because that can’t be blamed on Bush—not that some pundits haven’t tried. The administration’s strategy is to keep the Sunshine State in the blue column:

“That battleground state will be a heavy lift. In interviews conducted along the coast, Florida Democrats accused the administration of largely ignoring their calls and letters and complained of a White House that’s out of touch.”

Knowing what lies ahead for the November midterms, the White House is looking to save Obama’s reelection chances and to stave off a democrat challenger as speculation grows that Hillary Clinton is making subtle moves toward a possible 2012 run. That in part, is why the president has embarked on a publicity tour (which makes one wonder if putting himself in front of a recovery message will backfire when there is no recovery).

Obama promised change you can believe in and if the election were held today, it would be change the Chicago community organizer would not welcome.
