Obama Will Win, Can't Fix Economy

Americans like Obama but fear for country: poll

(NEWSER) - If a national poll can combine devastating news and a bright ray of sunshine for President Obama, this is it. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey shows that about 75% of respondents don't like Obama's economic policies and fear the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Interestingly, this is the first time a personage has topped the list. First lady Michelle Obama came close in the previous survey, at No. 2, but “Mobama” has since plummeted to No. 15. At 2 and 3 on this season’s list: “leggins 2.0” and “no pants.” Makes perfect sense. More»
