So Obama is well below 50% and only beats a GOP placeholder by 2.

[Haiku Guy]

Looks like Hopey the Clown has fallen on hard times...

[DJ MacWoW]

After NJ, Va and Mass, is anybody actually buying this? I’m not.

[C19fan]

An incumbent polling below 50% is bad news.

[highlander_UW]

Maybe they're taking into account a 20% cheat factor from ACORN to give him a 2% margin.

[unkus]

They will regret the day they came up with “Hope and Change”. It’s already biting them in the a$$.

I'm no psephologist

No, but you are a showoff. What the heck is a psephologist?

... Mitt Romney (R) leads the field among 490 GOPers ...

That tells me a lot about the inaccuracy of this poll. Or do they mean that they listed 490 potential GOP candidates?

[Tarpon]

Incumbent below 50% — dead duck, cooked goose, filleted fish .... not good to eat.

[socal_parrot]

$2 across the board on The Field.

I believe that “anybody but” always polls better than a known quantity. Plug in the name of a Republican, and BHO would poll even better.

[gitmogrunt]

Looks like MSM trying to perform CPR for their idol.

[trickyricky]

Pray for more pain.
I'm hoping to hear the bleating of sheep
or should I say the squealing of pigs.
America needs to get her face rubbed in it.
I want more than failure, I want disaster.
The name Obama needs to be remembered for a thousand years,
synonymous with UTTER CATASTROPHE.

[GoCards]

Really? I was hoping generic R would beat him. Darn

[proudpapa]

Plus, the electoral college usually helps the GOP candidate.

[factmart]

Any poll that doesn't have Palin leading is liberal propaganda.

[DM1]

i would like to see those numbers flip meaning any GOPer at 44% Obummer at 42% but this is probably a good sign
heck i may throw my hat in the ring if this trend continues ;)

[ricks_place]

Obama runs even with a generic Republican for President in 2012. Axelrod may believe this is fine with a billion dollars or so given to ACORN and a billion dollars or so given to the Americor con.

[SoFloFreeper]

I smell a cow patty. BO is not anywhere NEAR beating a Republican...this nation is going through a HUGE case of voters’ remorse.

[b4its2late]

Palin is not our answer. She’d be a good Sec of State, but not our answer to take back the WH.

[ZULU]

Beware Gallup and Zogby.

But the GOP can’t take anything for granted - espcially if they haven’t learned by their mistakes.
