51%: Obama is too liberal, "are inclined to say they disagree with him on the issues that matter most to them."

Deserves re-election: 45%

It's really only by luck (with Mitch Daniels opting not to run) that Obama has a chance to win this thing. The entire race would have been different based on this one man's decision.
