Via Zobgy: Most Previous Obama Voters likely to Vote for Him in 2012.
According to the poll, the vast majority of those who voted for Obama in 2008 (79%) will vote for him again in 2012 with 17% not very/not likely at all to do so. 4% are not sure.
Not surprisingly (since actual governing is never as good as the campaign), there is less enthusiasm for an Obama vote than there was in 2008. A large plurality (48%) are “less enthusiastic” to vote for Obama now than they were in 2008.

Zogby is famous for being eerily accurate once (2000) and comically wide of the mark almost every time before or since. Usually left of the mark but sometimes right, the only consistency being that he’s all over the map.
That said, I’m not sure why anyone thought this particular poll newsworthy. Have Obama’s numbers ever been so bad there was any doubt that at least 79% of his own supporters would support him again?
I think sometimes readers misunderstand the blogging enterprise. There is a need for a lot of posts in a given day. So one often blogs, especially on the quick picks, what one happens to read and that one finds at least mildly interesting. And, I would note, a conversation did break out.
As such, I did my job, yes?
In terms of being a partisan cheerleader, I gave that up a long time ago.
