Poll: President Not Welcome

Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm, reported the following findings a couple of days ago:
It's looking more and more clear that there's just about nowhere Democratic candidates would benefit from having the President come to campaign with them. (snip) What about Bill Clinton? Clinton is not quite as toxic as the sitting President but his support isn't going to be real helpful with an off year general electorate either.
So they conclude:
If Democrats want to avoid nationalizing this year's election - which is probably prudent - they're better off if both Obama and Clinton stay off the campaign trail.
Hat tip to Lucianne.com and The Washington Examiner for the heads up.
