But the news isn’t all bad for Obama’s 2012 prospects.

Sixty percent of those surveyed said that the Republican candidate who ends up running against Obama will have to move so far to the right on social and fiscal issues to win the GOP nomination that it will be very hard to vote for them in the general election.

Forty-nine percent of Americans said they’re worried about Republicans gaining control of the White House and of Congress and slashing programs like Medicare and Medicaid. In contrast, 40 percent say they are concerned about a second Obama term and the continuation of current spending policies. Of independents surveyed, 47 percent say they are worried about Republican control while 37 percent say they are more concerned about a second Obama term.

Obama Gets 30% of Americans Certain to Support Re-Election in Economy Poll

By Julianna Goldman - Jun 22, 2011 12:00 AM ET
Bloomberg.com

Americans are growing more dissatisfied with President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy and say it will be hard to vote to re-elect him without seeing significant progress over the next year and a half.

By a margin of 61 percent to 37 percent, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted June 17-20 shows Americans say they believe that Obama will have had his chance to make the economy “substantially better” by the end of 2012.

Only 30 percent of respondents said they are certain to vote for the president and 36 percent said they definitely won’t. Among likely independent voters, only 23 percent said they will back his re-election, while 36 percent said they definitely will look for another candidate.
