In another stop on his litany of swing state visits, Obama visited Pennsylvania on Wednesday; however, he’ll have to do more than just talk about more of the same if he is going to win Pennsylvania voters who have had enough of his failed promises. As. Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA) reminds, Obama should be nervous about his chances in the state next year because “statewide the polls are showing he is not doing very well right now.”

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd:  “Alright, quick political question. Are you comfortable running with President Obama at the top of the ticket in western Pennsylvania?”

Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA): “Well, I won in 2008 in a district that President Obama lost by 11 points so I don’t view that as something that’s going to impact the way people perceive me and the campaign I’m going to run. I don’t know what President Obama is going to do in the state of Pennsylvania.”

Todd: “How nervous should he be? Should his campaign people be?”

Rep. Altmire: “I think in western Pennsylvania he is definitely not as popular as he would like to be and statewide the polls are showing he is not doing very well right now.” (MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown,” 12/2/11)
