Improving Economy Not Helping Obama

Charlie Cook: “The good
news for President Obama and his administration is that all the
controversies swirling around the White House have not had a significant
impact on his job-approval ratings. The bad news is that, like so many
other second-term administrations, Obama’s may end up spending so much
of its last four years fighting fires and fending off congressional
inquiries that it gets little else done… if the administration is
bogged down in controversy, voters won’t be handing the president or
anyone else any laurels for the economic recovery. That’s what Obama,
his administration, and congressional Democrats facing voters next year
ought to worry about.”
