Anyone remember the movie 'Airplane!' with Leslie Nielson? The scene with him and the flight attendants in the cockpit? Nielson: "Who was it we had running for President this election?" Flight Attendant: "Well, we had a choice. Romney or Obama." Nielson: "Yes, yes, I remember, I wrote in and voted for Ron Paul."

As Mitt Romney assumes the role of presumptive Republican nominee, polls suggest a competitive general election matchup between the former Massachusetts governor and President Obama. Typically, both candidates poll in the mid-40s, while 10 to 12 percent remain uncommitted to either side.

Among these uncommitted voters, Rasmussen Reports polling shows that just 22 percent approve of the way the president is handling his job. Seventy-two percent (72 percent) disapprove. As for intensity, just 2 percent strongly approve, and 40 percent strongly disapprove.

At first glance, this seems like good news for Romney. These uncommitted voters will be difficult for the president...
