WASHINGTON - President Obama's winning coalition from 2008 has crumbled and his core backers are dispirited. It's now Republicans who stand to benefit from an electorate that's again craving change. Nearly two years after putting Obama in the White House, one- quarter of those who voted for the Democrat are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against the party in power this fall. Just half of them say they definitely will show up Nov. 2, according to an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll released two weeks before Obama's first midterm elections.

NEWS SERVICE REPORTS The high price of attending games is by far the biggest problem in Major League Baseball, an Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll of fans released Thursday shows.
Forget the steroids and outrageous salaries. The real scandal in Major League Baseball for many fans is the price of a ball game . n One way to bypass the $7 beer is to head to the minor leagues or even college baseball. They've long been alternatives to the big leagues but are getting renewed attention as the baseball season kicks off amid a prolonged economic downturn. n Attendance in the minors has gone up for five consecutive years.

While they have problems with Bush, they also have doubts about Democratic Sen. John Kerry's leadership skills and believe Bush is best suited to protect the nation.
