Obama Struggling In Florida

Florida, a perennial presidential election powerhouse with its 27 electoral votes, could spell trouble for President Obama in 2012 if he doesn't turn it around.  Here are some Quinnipiac numbers:
President Barack Obama hits a losing trifecta with Florida voters: They disapprove 52 - 44 percent of the job he is doing; they prefer an unnamed Republican challenger by a too-close-to- call 41 - 38 percent in the 2012 presidential election and say 51 - 42 percent that the president does not deserve a second term, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. 
These numbers should obviously improve, but the generic Republican beating the president has to be a cause for concern @ the WH.  With numbers like these it will be interesting to see of President Obama keeps this race as positive as the 2008 cycle.  My money is on the negative.
