Such findings point up the challenges Obama will face in a run for a second term. Many voters are dissatisfied with the direction of the U.S. And their own dire economic situations concerning money losses and unemployment. Earlier in the week, a separate Gallup poll conducted found for the first time that a slight majority of Americans (53%) blame Obama now for the nation's economic troubles. Previously, most respondents did not blame Obama. But Bush as bearing most responsibility for the recession (ibid).
Another poll on Obama is showing that his likeability is keeping him afloat as president. The Associated Press-GfK poll showed that 8 in 10 people felt that Obama was a likable person. Slightly more than half said of the respondents said he understands ordinary people's problems. Among…

Clearly, restaurants and bars have their work cut out for them if they wish to capture their share of the scarce entertainment dollars in the market right now.
