CNN Poll: Obama a failure so far, plurality says

On the heels of the earlier CBS poll, a new CNN poll finds that a slight plurality of Americans believe Obama’s presidency has been a failure so far.

Forty-eight percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Tuesday say Obama’s presidency has been a failure so far, with 47 percent saying Obama has been a success. The poll’s January 12 release comes just 8 days before Obama marks one year in the White House.
