PALM BEACH, Fla. – As the president’s campaign acknowledges it’s in trouble of losing the November election, radio giant Rush Limbaugh has dubbed Barack Obama “the chief lunatic” in Washington.
The Obama campaign is now using unflattering polling data in a plea for more donations.
Campaign manager Jim Messina sent out an e-mail last night saying, “According to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll, if the general election were held today, we would lose to Mitt Romney. Let me say that again: According to this poll, if the general election were today, we would lose.”
“If the idea of a President Romney scares you, it’s time to own a piece of this campaign – donate $3 or more today,” he added.
Another poll by the New York Times and CBS has similar results showing Obama’s approval rating dropping “substantially in recent weeks” down to 41 percent, and that has political analysts taking notice.
“Obama is in trouble, and there’s no pretending he isn’t,” writes John Podhoretz at Commentary Magazine.
But Podhoretz says Obama’s strategy to run against Washington lawmakers may backfire.
And I care because...?
