Michigan: President Tied With Generic Republican

As President Obama seeks re-election, a couple of traditionally Democratic states may be more competitive than usual.

In 2008, the president won Michigan’s Electoral College votes by sixteen percentage points but most Michigan voters now disapprove of the way he’s handled his tenure in the White House. Just 47% of Likely Voters in the state approve of the way that the president is performing his job, while 52% disapprove, according to new Rasmussen Reports polling data.

The WMUR Granite State Poll shows that 38 percent of New Hampshire adults think the country is headed in the right direction, while 50 percent say it's on the wrong track.Obama has seen his job approval rating nearly flip from the last Granite State Poll in October, with 51 percent now saying they like the job the president is doing, compared to 43 percent who don't. Just 41 percent said they approved in October.Obama's improved fortunes are also reflected in head-to-head matchups against the Republican field in New Hampshire. In hypothetical matchups, Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 points, Ron Paul by eight points, and trounces Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum by 25 and 21 points respectively.

IBOPE Zogby Poll: Obama Approval and National Direction Continue Improvement

The IBOPE Zogby interactive poll of likely voters conducted from January 27-30 also finds Obama’s job approval at 46%, the highest since June 2011. The percentage saying Obama deserves re-election is 41%, which is slightly more than it has been over the past few months, but eight points more than its low of 33% in September, 2011.
Favorable ratings for each are as follows: Obama 48%, Rick Santorum 39%, Mitt Romney 37%, Ron Paul 37% and Newt Gingrich 32%.
While a majority of voters still say the nation is “on the wrong track” (59%), this is the lowest such total since May 2011. The number saying the nation is headed in the right direction is now 33%.
