President Barack Obama remains more popular than Mitt Romney, according to a CNN/ORC International survey released Monday.

Romney's favorable rating among Americans has jumped from 34% in February to 48% now. Forty-two percent say they see Romney in a negative light.

Romney still trails the president, however, who currently has a 56% favorable rating, with 42% saying they have an unfavorable opinion of Obama, the CNN/ORC poll shows. The president's favorable and unfavorable ratings are unchanged from CNN polls in March and April.

"The biggest gap between Obama and Romney's favorable ratings is among younger Americans. More than two-thirds of those under 30 have a favorable view of Obama, compared to only four-in-ten who feel that way about Romney. Romney is much stronger among senior citizens, but the gap is not nearly as big," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Romney may have a small advantage among independent voters, but that is offset by his lower favorable rating among Republicans than Obama has among Democrats."

1. I think that the split is way larger than the pollsters say

No way that its even a horse race between the two. President O pushes all the right buttons for most Americans. The reason for that is he genuinely likes us regular Janes and Joes, its not a front he puts up. Rawmoney on the other hand could care less about us and that is not a front he is putting up either. He genuinely doesn't like us at all. Nor does he care for the country we normals love so much that we're willing to lay our lives on the line for it even when we know or at least sense we're being conned by the chickenhawks.

3. He's an elitist

guys who graduated from Harvard, like Romney and Obama, don't identify w/ average people 'cause they don't know any.

7. Hey, Jerry?

You act like President Obama was born and raised at Harvard, which he was not.

How do you like them apples?

PS: All you fake democrats on Koch Industries payroll should wait until you have over 500 posts under your belt before you start vomiting your propaganda on the DU's message boards: You'd get more folks to subsribe to your moral equivalency arguments if you did.

11. I'm surprised you could pack that much BULLSHIT in so few words

You know nothing of our President and it shows with what you said.
Never heard the story of how when he first started dating our First Lady how he was driving a 500 dollar car that had holes in the floor board that you could see the road though have you? No you haven't or if you have it damn sure didn't take did it. Never heard about how he lived as a kid have you, oh hell never mind you, I'm wasting my time
Have a good day Jerry

15. No

Obama was not born with silver spon In his mouth like Romney.His mother had to go on food stamps to help provide food for family.
His father left when he was 2.His mother remarried when he was 5.when he was 10 his mother got divorced.From age 11 on hsi grandparents were big Influences In his upbringing.Tp provide for collage he has to use student loans.The money he got was because of
2 bestselling books he wrote.He had to work for what he has gotten.Obama Is example of america dream.And many AMericans have
similar storys of their childhoods.

17. Not true!

I know of Harvard Grads who, like Obama, came from regular middle class households & still have plenty of regular middle class friends!

Romney was given most of what he has from money to access Obama on the other hand could have done what Romney did & went to Wall Street but he chose to go help in the roughest areas that needed him! HUGE DIFFERENCE!!

5. And wrong.

8. Hey Jerry?

We'd love to decide for ourselves without any input from paid Koch-suckers.

PS: All you fake democrats on Koch Industries payroll should wait until you have over 500 posts under your belt before you start vomiting your propaganda.

13. Hannity? Is that you?

Obama is one of the greatest leaders this country has had in decades despite what fascist propaganda has lead you to believe.

6. Candidate for this year's "You Call This NEWS?" Award

the "To Figure This Out, You Had To Do A Freaking STUDY?" category.

But I am a little worried about R-Money's "advantage among independent voters" -- they're the ones who put Obama over.

9. "Remains" ?

In spite of Romney's 73% negative advertising.

[goclark]

10. But on Morning Joe

they said that more people had faith that Rmoney can turn the economy
around -
I was just waking up but it seemed that everyone on the panel made signs of a surprise as if they believed that Rmoney was in good position now.

How could anyone with a brain believe anything that Rmoney said about turning anything around other than his flip flops.

16. Barack Obama is the way forward

The US needs to think clearly about the future and how the next president will change the outlook of the US inside the country and to the rest of the world around it.

18. Of course but there is the Fox News element

and CNN who follows them and MSNBC who wastes way too much time countering Fox News.

Fox News sets the table with incomplete math and flat out made up stuff.
