Day486 Wednesday 12/28/11

ran 4.2 miles
Here are some stats and polls from Rasmussen Reports:

• Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 23% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 41% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a presidential index rating of –18.

• Overall, 45% of voters at least somewhat approve of Obama’s performance while 54% at least somewhat disapprove.

• Only 20% of American voters polled believe America is heading in the right direction.

• Building the Keystone XL Pipeline earns 53% approval.

• Election 2012: Generic Republican 45%, Obama 44%.

• Among American voters polled, 53% favor repeal of Health Care Law

And from A CNN poll, Iowa has Romney at 25%, followed by Paul with 22%, Santorum with 16%, and Gingrich with 14%.

And one last thing, there is a lot of chatter about Hillary Clinton switching jobs with Joe Biden for the 2012 election. Aside from being a national insult to Joe Biden, the move would be a plus for Democrats. If Obama does wiggle his way into another term, Clinton would be a much more feasible presidential candidate in 2016 to continue Democratic leadership compared to Joe Biden and his tenacity to constantly say the worst possible thing at any given moment. But that is just speculation at this point.

602.4 miles to go.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day121.
