I didn’t need a poll to tell me this<\/a>, but here it is anyway:<\/p>\n

The consensus among American voters is Barack Obama is better at campaigning for the job than at doing the job, according to a Fox News poll released Thursday. In addition, half of voters say the Obama administration doesn\u2019t \u201cget it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the president\u2019s approval rating remains in the high forties, the poll finds that voters by a wide 62 to 17 percent margin think Obama is better at campaigning than at governing.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t surprising most Republicans feel this way (83 percent). What may surprise the White House is that nearly seven out of 10 independents say they feel the president is better at campaigning than governing, and so do more Democrats (albeit by a thin 6 percentage-point edge). More than one out of five Democrats was unable to choose between campaigning and governing and volunteered a \u201cboth\u201d response (22 percent).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think there’s anything particularly surprising about these result the Obama Administration really hasn’t made transition from campaigning to governing. This lack of leadership is one of the principle reasons he’s had so much difficultly getting his health care reform agenda through Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
