The conservative group Americans For Prosperity released a new ad Wednesday in which people who voted for President Obama in 2008 express their disappointment in the president. Partially funded by the Koch brothers, AFP will put $7 million behind the ad, CNN reports.

Called “Has President Obama Earned Your Vote?” the ad features several voters describing the ways Obama has failed short: on jobs, housing foreclosures, spending. “I think he’s a great person,” one woman says, “I don’t feel he is the right leader for our country though.”

The minute-long spot began running Wednesday on broadcast and cable in 11 swing states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
