62 percent of voters say Obama’s policies will increase the debt, 48 percent think they will lead to more joblessness and 58 percent say Obama’s policies will result in gasoline prices increasing. Also, 49 percent expect to see SCOTUS strike down Obamacare.

The poll indicated that 49 percent of likely voters said they expect a court ruling that is unfavorable to the Affordable Care Act, while just 29 percent think it will be upheld and 22 percent aren’t sure.

On energy, 58 percent say Obama’s policies will result in gasoline prices increasing, while just 20 percent expect them to cut prices — and by a 46-percent-to-36-percent margin, voters believe they will cause the United States to become even more dependent on foreign oil. Keep on reading...
