Over seven
in 10 Obama voters, and 55 percent of Democrats, regret voting for President
Obama's reelection in 2012, according to a new Economist/YouGov.com poll.
The poll asked : Do you regret your vote for Obama in the 2012 election.
— Overall,
71 percent said yes, 26 percent no.
— 80 percent
of whites said yes, 61 percent of blacks said no and 100 percent of Hispanics
said yes.
— 84 percent
of women said yes, and just 61 percent of men agreed.
— 55 percent
of Democrats said yes, as did 71 percent of independents.
Still, given
the choice of Obama versus Romney, Obama supporters said they would stick with
their guy, 79 percent to 10 percent for Romney.
But his
voters seem to have moved on and are ready for the next election, giving Obama
very early lame duck status before the midterm elections.
The poll, for
example, found that Hillary
Clinton has a higher favorability rating than the president. While
Obama is underwater in his ratings, Clinton is buoyed by a 50-percent favorable
to 43-percent unfavorable rating, with a sizable 28 percent rating her “very
favorable.”
