Obama Struggles in Primaries

On Tuesday primaries took place in Arkansas and Kentucky.

President Obama, running unopposed in Kentucky only managed to get 57.9% of the vote. Forty-two percent of Kentucky Democrats, who voted, listed themselves as uncommitted.

In Arkansas, he's not faring much better. Only fifty-nine percent have gone for Obama. Forty-one percent went for his opponent there, who promises to repeal Obamacare.

These states follow West Virginia's primary, of two weeks ago. In that state, a Texas inmate took forty-one percent of the vote away from Obama.

Tuesday's primaries were disappointing for Romney as well. Kentucky gave him sixty-seven percent, and Arkansas sixty-nine.

Both states saw many votes still going for Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul; none of whom are actively campaigning.
