Fenn/ABCThen-Deomocratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama poses with Barbara Walters and the cast of 'The View' in March 2008.

President Obama will break another barrier of sorts: He'll become the first sitting U.S. President to appear on a daytime talk show. 

Producers of ABC's '"The View" announced that the President’s interview will be taped Wednesday and broadcast Thursday. 

Topics include jobs, the economy, the Gulf Coast oil disaster -- and how Obama’s family is adjusting to life in the White House, the producers said Monday. 

Obama could use all the good exposure he can get: A new Quinnipiac University poll found Americans would rather vote for a Republican - any Republican - in 2012 by a 39% to 36% margin. 

American voters also reponded by a 48% to 40% margin that Obama does not deserve reelection in 2012, according to the poll. 

Obama appeared on "The View" in March 2008 before he was elected, and his wife, Michelle, was a guest co-host three months later. 

Thurday's episode will mark "View" creator Barbara Walters' first appearance on the show since she underwent heart valve replacement surgery in May. Walters, 80, announced that she would return to the show full-time in September. 

"We are so pleased and honored that President Obama will be a guest on 'The View,'" Walters said in a statement. "This shows that both the President and First Lady feel that our show is an influential and important source of information and news."
