AP reports:
President Barack Obama doesn't go there anymore.
The days of Obama traipsing around the country to states like Montana, Indiana or Arkansas in freewheeling campaign mode - and with sky-high popularity lifting Democratic candidates - are long over. With his approval rating sliding, the president in the next few weeks is primarily sticking to big cities - Milwaukee, Cleveland and Philadelphia - and other party strongholds, like Connecticut, where he can help fellow Democrats in the midterm election homestretch.
Who's campaigning for Democratic candidates in Arkansas on Wednesday? Former President Bill Clinton, ex-governor of the state.
"Judging from the polls I've seen on approval ratings, President Obama couldn't help many people in Arkansas," Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe told reporters Tuesday. "That's about as candid as I know how to be." |
