What happens with the political bases of the parties if it's Romney vs. Obama?

Way too early for those sort of prognostications. As I recall Pres. Clinton was even lower in his public perception at this time in his first term. He also had a Republican Congress to deal with. Difference was, when he conceded GOP points, that Congress didn't refuse to vote for compromise.

It also helped that he wasn't Black and that Bob Dole turned out to be the GOP nominee.
