In the latest NBC News/The Wall Street Journal poll conducted October 6-10, we find continued low marks for President Obama’s overall job approval and on the economy. The percentage of respondents with “very negative” feelings is higher than those with “very positive” feelings about Mr. Obama by more than the margin of error for the second consecutive poll. Half of registered voters are more enthusiastic about 2012 than they were about past elections with Republicans already showing a significant enthusiasm gap compared to Democrats and fully 63{09f965da52dc6ab4c1643a77bd40d1f729d807040cd8db540234bb981a782222} of Republican primary voters are satisfied with the Republican field.
