Obama may face defeat as all White House hopefuls' struggle for votes

Washington, August 23 (ANI): President Barack Obama might be struggling to find the right number of votes in the run up to 2012 re-election, but other White House hopefuls are failing to gather public support too.

Among registered voters nationwide, the pollster finds little variation in how Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann fare against Obama.

Romney is the only candidate to lead Obama, leading him by 2 points securing 48 percent votes, while as Obama has 46 percent.

Perry and Obama tie at 47 percent. Paul trails Obama by 2 percentage points, and Bachmann trails by a 4-point margin, Politico reports.

Obama scores between 46 percent and 48 percent of the vote in every match up. But, while the fact that the president is taking less than 50 percent of the vote shows that he could face defeat. (ANI)
