Obama Update

Recently, Obama seems to be facing the downward trend in support that most presidents face towards the end of their terms; public support for him is in the minority compared to the disapproval rates.

Many Americans feel that Obama isn't doing enough for the economy, though admittedly, it's hard to do anything with the Republicans in Congress blocking him at every turn, leaving us in a constant state of gridlock.

In terms of reelection chances, a Republican nominee needs to actually be chosen before one gauges Obama's hopes in winning another term. Despite Gingrich being a clear front runner now, Republican "flavors of the month" come and go, leaving only speculation as to who will actually win the nomination.

Personally, I feel that Obama really needs to step his reelection campaign into high gear if he hopes to win over the increasingly despondent public. With some hard campaigning, Obama just might yet manage to snatch the presidency from the GOP candidate.
