Obama Has the Reverse Midas Touch

No wonder Democrats run the other way when Obama shows up (from Rasmussen):

On a list of six prominent Democratic and Republican politicians, voters rank President Obama as the one who carries the most weight – positively and negatively – when it comes to an endorsement.

According to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 29% of Likely Voters say an endorsement from the president is the one most likely to make them vote for a candidate.
But even more (45%) say Obama is the politician who makes them least likely to vote for a candidate he endorses.

You can tell the state of the race just by looking to see where Obama is campaigning. He's recently made stops in Delaware, Boston, and Cleveland, and is coming to Los Angeles on Friday. These are places where a Democrat president should have to go this late in a campaign. Those areas should be securely Democrat, but this year every race is a challenge and there's no such thing as a safe Dem seat.
