LA Times: Even in vividly blue California, President Obama's luster has faded since his historic victory here in 2008, a new poll has found.
Despite his sizable lead over Mitt Romney, the president is unlikely to repeat his historic 2008 margin of victory here because of his diminished power to pull in people who don't traditionally support Democrats, according to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.
The drop in appeal across party and demographic lines has translated, at this point, to a 14-point edge over the Republican nominee among likely voters — well below Obama's 24-point victory in 2008, the biggest margin in modern times.
Bottom line is Obama is the least supported Democrat in California as far as polls go back.
Mike Denny is among those who voted for Obama in 2008, grew disenchanted during
his tenure and has decided to support Romney and running mate Paul D. Ryan in
November.
"I thought maybe there would be some kind of change," said
Denny, a Republican from Rossmoor. "I thought he was somebody different, someone
new with new ideas, someone with young ideas. But it's the same old
thing."
Denny, who owns a graphics company, said he was immediately
disappointed when Obama spent the first part of his term tackling healthcare
reform, which Denny opposes because of its impact on small business. He feels
the president neglected the economy, and thinks Romney's corporate resume is
better suited to right the nation's fiscal problems.

"We need to get jobs back," said the 45-year-old. "I think he has a plan to put more jobs into the economy, and he's got more business experience."
The poll, conducted for The Times and the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, showed that Obama's level of support now reflects the traditional advantage for a Democrat in California, rather than exceeding it as he did in 2008.
His margin is 3 percentage points shy of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's lead over Republican Elizabeth Emken in the same poll, and 1 point more than Gov. Jerry Brown's winning margin over GOP nominee Meg Whitman in the 2010 race for governor.
The poll found that 51% of Californians believe that the nation is moving in the wrong direction, not surprising in a state where unemployment continues to be higher than the national average and the state is mired in budget woes, facing either tax hikes or biting cuts to schools and public services. But that was an improvement over a 2011 poll that showed nearly 3 out of 4 held the same sentiment.

The fact that the president is doing well here despite qualms about the direction of the nation reflects Democrats' strength in California, where not a single Republican was elected to statewide office in 2010. Obama maintains strong support among key Democratic constituencies. He leads Romney among likely Latino voters by 52 percentage points, and among likely female voters by 26 points — numbers roughly consistent with his performance against McCain.
And where in the article does it say this: Obama loss of support is unpresidented for a Democrat in the state of California!
How about Fast and Furious? Yep I just listed two of the most serious scandals in American history and it only took Obama about a year to accomplish both----oh yea, he's historic all right
not Romney

Would you have call 911 if you saw our guys out numbed, out gunned?
Barry, better warm up that ghost writer of yours!
That show was cancelled also.
The President is now facing the reality of his real-life situation. Many are jumping ship and he is tredding water.
Just this morning the Des Moines Register (who supported the President 4 years ago and endorsed dems for 40 years) gave Romney their endorsement. Reading their comments made me realize even more that the President is in loosing ground..
