Pew poll has bad news for the President

The Pew poll is kind of the mirror image of the Rasmussen poll - it leans a bit Democrat while Rasmussen leans a bit Republican. So this is especially disappointing for the Prez's men.

He is now in a statistical dead heat with "Republican".

This shift is driven by a steep drop-off in support for Obama among independents. The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted July 20-24 among 1,501 adults and 1,205 registered voters finds that just 31% of independent voters want to see Obama reelected, down from 42% in May and 40% in March. Where Obama held a slim 7-point edge among independent registered voters two months ago, a generic Republican holds an 8-point edge today.
