Obama is hoping to influence public opinion against the Supreme Court. So far, the strategy is not working. Among all voters, 28% now think the Supreme Court is too liberal, 29% say it’s too conservative, and 31% believe the ideological balance is about right, Rasmussen said. The number who view the court as too liberal is down five points from a month ago.
In a second polling result, Obama's "strongly approve" numbers, representing those who are willing to "get out the vote" for the candidate, is at a near record low of 23%. At the time of his 2008 election, this number was above 50%.
