President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are hitting record lows and his former opponent Mitt Romney is calling it like he sees it.
While stumping for Republican candidates in West Virginia Tuesday, Romney said the president is doing “a good deal worse than even I expected,” the Washington Times reports. Romney used the still-struggling economy and the crises abroad in Iraq, Syria and Russia as examples.
“I was not a big fan of the president’s policies, as you know, either domestically or internationally. But the results of his mistakes and errors, in my opinion, have been more severe than even I would have predicted,” Romney said.
And although polls have cited Romney as a 2016 Republican frontrunner, the former presidential candidate quickly squelched that idea at the rally.
“I’m not running. I’m expecting to be getting behind some good people or a good person who will be [the Republican nominee],” he told the Washington Times.
