Question of the week #7 answer

For Obama's job approval, his polls say that he is at %43 approve and %50 disapprove.  This does not make the future look to bright for Obama.  However, at the other end of the spectrum we are seeing Newt Gingrich starting to lose support too.  The republican candidates seem to have a tendency to rise and burn bright for a short period of time... but then they do something that burns them out.  For Gingrich, it was his announcement that he supports child labor that burned him out.  Having said that, I think Obama's odds at getting reelected are at about a %65 chance that he will get reelected.
