From USNews:
Here's how much political trouble President Obama is in: A new poll by the authoritative Evolving Strategies firm finds that Herman Cain, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and Mitt Romney would all beat Obama it the election were held today.
Worse for Obama: the poll, which showed some 1,000 Americans videos
of both Obama and the candidates speaking on the economy, backed up
recent analysis that the president has lost his mojo when it comes to
tackling the deepening recession and blaming Republicans for standing
in his way.
Evolving Strategies put the video spin on their poll because most of the Republican presidential candidates
still aren't known outside of Washington, the early primary and caucus
states and to political junkies. Their idea was to show respondents a
video clip and have them read a short 120-word biography.
As a result, the respondents felt they had more information and
familiarity with the candidates and felt better making a judgment on a
head-to-head contest question. Ironically, Obama still beat a "generic"
Republican, but not the three front runners. Unfortunately for Obama,
since the GOP primary race is now known, there is no more generic
candidate to wish for.
