Poll: Just 43 percent would re-elect Obama

Only 43 percent of Americans would vote to re-elect President Obama, fully 10 percent lower than the percentage that put him into office just more than a year ago.

Fifty percent think it’s time for someone new to be president, according to the latest poll conducted by Zogby International from Jan. 19 to 21, when the president completed his first term in office.

Among independent voters, only 30 percent would vote to re-elect Mr. Obama, and 60 percent say it is time for someone new.

Just 34 percent of small-business owners would vote to re-elect the president, and 58 percent say they would pick someone else.

The Zogby poll surveyed 2,377 voters and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
