From Gallup:
PRINCETON, NJ — Americans tend to see Mitt Romney as better able to handle key issues than President Obama is, particularly those relating to the economy. However, Americans give Obama the edge on most character dimensions, especially basic likability.
Romney has an edge on four of six issues tested in the July 19-22 USA Today/Gallup poll — all having a significant economic component, including the federal budget deficit, the economy, creating jobs, and taxes. Romney and Obama are tied on healthcare, while Obama’s lone lead in the poll is his decided advantage on foreign affairs.
On the other hand, Obama is viewed as more likable, more honest and trustworthy, and better able to understand the problems Americans face than Romney is. Romney’s only character advantage of the four included in the poll is for being able to “get things done.”
These differences help explain why Obama and Romney remain closely matched in voters’ general election preferences. In July 17-23 Gallup Daily tracking, 46% of registered voters say they would vote for Obama and 45% for Romney if the election were held today.

Obama’s Character Edge Offsets Romney’s Economic Advantage http://t.co/OhwOOpTo
What gets me is the comparison of the incumbent and the new candidate for President. I hear people talk of criticism of both. I feel it’s B.S., especially when it’s about Romney. He is obviously the more qualified candidate. As for Obama what are his qualifications? Did being a “Community Organizer” qualify him for what? dog catcher? I think it’s nothing more than political B.S. done by the Dummocraps/Socialist/Liberal/Communist party.
The word NO is somehow difficult for BHO to understand. Could it be that he is so liberal-islamist-marxist- fascist — that he does not want to stop doing the same thing over and over? His policies have been so bad and I assume that is because he wants to undermine our country until we collaspe. Then he will turn it over to the ISLAMISTS who will deliver an unending parade of beheadings to all the CHRISTIANS AND other non-believers. Does this country want that to happen because they won’t follow the CONSTITUTIONS ??
“……Americans give Obama the edge on most character dimensions, especially basic likability.”
You say he is charmng. But if that persuades you, dont expect flowers and a phonecall the next day!
I don’t want a president I can like. I want a president who can look me in the eye and tell me what I need to hear and be confident he’s speaking the truth, not what will make me like him. I want a president who can get his job done right.
As a matter of ugly fact I don’t like Romney or Obama. But I’ll vote for the one who most closely matches what I just said. Guess who that’ll be?
How can Americans be such fools?
Bummer! Your advertising is overlapping the comments. Time for the webmaster to do a little fixing up, maybe?
