New Poll Shows Obama Support Hurt by Supreme Court Decision
"The Quinnipiac polls in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania show that, while most voters still like the policy and Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney in all three states, the opposition to the move appears to be significantly more motivated by it -- particularly in the two Midwestern states. In both Ohio and Pennsylvania, more than twice as many respondents say the decision makes them less likely to support the president (27 percent in both) as say it makes them more likely to back him (12 percent in Pennsylvania, 11 percent in Ohio)," the Washington Post notes.
"Either way, though, it's clear that the decision has hardly led independents to rally around the president, and even Democrats aren't super motivated by it; just one in five Democrats in both Ohio and Pennsylvania say it makes them more likely to support Obama."
