Election 2012: Obama Between 42% and 49% Against All Republicans Tested
Not much has changed in the dynamics over the past couple of months in early 2012 election polling. No matter which of 10 Republicans is matched against President Obama, the president earns between 42% and 49% of the vote. That same dynamic was found earlier this year and suggests the election is still shaping up as a referendum on the president. That’s typical when an incumbent runs for reelection.

Spending Cuts Are Hot in the Political Marketplace By Michael Barone
One of the things that fascinate me about American politics is how the voices of the voters as registered in elections and polls are transformed into changes in public policy.

But when Republicans put together a stopgap measure to fund the military and prevent a government shutdown, Obama promised to veto it. Obama called the measure "a distraction from the real work that would bring us closer to a reasonable compromise for funding the remainder of fiscal year 2011."
