President Obama has done as thorough a job of motivating Republicans as the second President Bush did of motivating Democrats. Our two most recent presidents have been as unpopular as any since Carter and Nixon.
Two real questions remain; first, what do independents think of the Obama-Romney match up? For whom would they vote? Second, given a Romney-Obama contest, will Republicans or Democrats be more motivated this year?
Recent polling shows Republicans really want to dump Obama, Democrats are less excited about retaining him. The answer to question one remains unclear.
