A
CNN/ORC poll taken roughly a week ago asked the following questions:
36. Suppose that for some reason a presidential election were being held today and you had to choose between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Who would you be more likely to vote for?
37. (IF UNSURE) As of today, do you lean more toward...?
Combining the results for 36 and 37, the results were not happy for POTUS:
July 18-20, 2014
Obama 44%
Romney 53%
Other (vol.) *
Neither (vol.) 3%
On the other hand, Mitt Romney paired with Hillary Clinton loses by about the same margin. Hat tip to
The Week for the link.
