Most Previous Obama Voters likely to Vote for Him in 2012
One in Six Unlikely to Cast Another Vote for Obama
UTICA, NY - A poll of voters who chose Barack Obama in 2008 finds 17% are unlikely to vote for him in 2012 and 48% are less enthusiastic about his candidacy than they were in 2008.
Most (57%) say fear of a Republican in the White House would be a greater motivator to vote for Obama again than the president’s job performance.
The IBOPE Inteligência Interactive poll of 1,085 likely voters who said they voted for Obama in 2008 was conducted from April 13-15.
