Rasmussen: 53% Believe Republican Will Be Elected in 2012

After 100 days, America's honeymoon with Pres. Obama is over. They have weighed how Obama and the Democrats have done in power and the verdict is in:

53% Say Next President Likely To Be A Republican For the first time since Barack Obama was elected president last November, more than half of U.S. voters (53%) say it is at least somewhat likely that the next occupant of the White House will be a Republican. Thirty-one percent (31%) say it is Very Likely.

Thirty-five percent (35%) say it is not very or not at all likely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Twelve percent (12%) aren't sure.

That is a stark difference in between the beginning of his term. He has a very difficult first 100 days, and it's continuing to show in the polls. It is still very early, but it must be very disconcerting to Obama to be having such a hard time. If things progress as they have been, Democrats will have a rough mid-term and even tougher time in 2012.
