Todd: Most Americans Believe the Rest of Obama’s Second Term Won’t Get Better (Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd discussed the WSJ / NBC poll showing pessimism by the American public for the future of the country Tuesday on Morning Joe, pointing out most respondents believed things will not improve over the rest of President Obama’s term.

Obama delivers the State of the Union address tonight with 51 percent of Americans disapproving of his job performance.

“You have a majority that essentially don’t believe the rest of his second term is going to get any better,” Todd said. “Does that mean they’ve given up on him? I think these are the things that would be going through my head in the West Wing, worried about why this speech is so important for him tonight because I think it’s the last best chance he has of getting the public to listen to him. But you have to look at these numbers and wonder, is that already passed?”
