President Obama's new jobs plan may include finding one, a new survey suggests.

A majority of Americans think Obama should be a one-term president, the CNN / Opinion Research Corp. poll says, with 52% saying he is undeserving of a second term in office.

44% of respondents answered that Obama deserves reelection, with 4% saying they had no opinion.

Registered voters and non-registered Americans answered the question identically.

The poll also revealed a possible class-disconnect between Obama and the electorate.

"One problem Obama faces may be the perception that Obama is not a middle-class kind of guy," CNN's polling director, Keating Holland, told the network.

"Only 4 percent of Americans describe themselves as upper class. But a 45 percent plurality say that Obama belongs to the upper class, with 42 percent saying he is from the middle class and 12 percent describing him as working class."

The poll also found approval of sitting members of Congress has plummeted to all-time lows.

A third of voters polled replied that most members deserve re-election this fall. 51% said their specific member deserved to be sent back to Washington.

Both numbers are the lowest recorded since CNN began the survey in 1991.

Polsters surveyed 1,023 Americans, of whom 954 were registered voters, via telephone between February 12 and 15.

The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3%.

He never deserved to be elected in the first place.

Maybe we should charge the Media for TARP bailouts, for the trillions in debt, and the grocery bills for the soup kitchens that are feeding our enemployed-after all, the media elected this rookie Obama.

Not a second term. I think he needs 20 years to life. In Leavenworth.
