The president's Midwest trip this week has allowed him to address a central challenge for his re-election: his popularity has slumped among white voters—particularly young, poor and working-class Americans.
President Barack Obama pitched himself onto the political scene as a man who could rise above partisan politics, and despite presiding over a bitterly divided government, he is starting the 2012 campaign still casting himself as that guy. On a three-day Midwestern bus trip, Mr. Obama tried to portray himself as an outsider. "The only thing that's holding us back right now is our politics," he said. What do you think? Can Mr. Obama separate himself from those politics?
