Axelrod pointed to a recent CNN poll that showed a plurality of respondents support Obama’s jobs proposal,which is crucial to the president’s reelection plan.
Obama might also have benefited from Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s entrance into the GOP primary contest. The battle between Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney threatens to be….
