I like Daniels from Indiana and Otter from Idaho. I doubt either will run.

I don’t care for anything CNN has to say. Zero probably asked them to do this story for him. To dishearten all conservatives.

None of these are potential foes and 2012 is a long time away. It is worthless to post or report this. Nov 2 2010 is all that matters now.

Two years before [2008]’s election was Obama ever the front runner on any poll?

No, not one.

Let's spin this data:

Favorable Ratings
Obama 57 / 41
Pelosi 38 / 50
Reid 28 / 35
H. Clinton 61 / 35
Palin 39 / 55
Romney 40 / 34
Huckabee 43 / 29
Gingrich 38 / 38

"Palin polling more favorable that either Pelosi or Reid"

I find the poll funny, because when the 2012 presidential campaign comes around and presidential candidates will be required to attach their long form birth certificates to their applications in many states, I believe that presidential candidate Obama will be in a lot of political and legal problems, because I believe that Obama's Hawaii long form birth certificate does NOT have a doctor signature or a hospital name.

Primary Ballots: If Obama does NOT attach a copy of his Hawaii long form birth certificate to his presidential application, I believe that in many states Obama will NOT be allowed to even get his name on the primary ballots.

It doesn’t even say who was polled. Bet it wasn’t likely voters. MSM trying to rehabilitate the O’s popularity.

The presidential election is a long way off, and some really great “dark horse” candidate may appear that would beat the snot out of O (figuratively speaking).

The above 2012 poll was done by a Dem polling firm before the health care disaster passed. O’s and the Dems’ numbers have steadily dropped since this poll was completed, I don’t buy CNN’s numbers, they don’t make sense.

We The People Will Not Allow The Media To Choose Our Political Candidates!!!

This is another attempt by the Media to choose our Candidate, just as they chose McCain in 2008. We The People Will Have NONE Of It.

The Media wants to choose the person they know will lose to Obama. Pay them no attention.

It is worthless because it is like making a prediction on who is going to win the Super Bowl three years from now. Total uncertainty.

And that’s the big problem.

People are falling out of favor of Obama’s policies and ideas. But his likability remains high. People like him as a person.

On the GOP side, there is no one with high likability marks, at least right now. That’s what will make 2012 very difficult.

probably
i am hoping someone new enters the fray
i like John Thune and someone i forgot completely about Mitch Daniels
at least from what i know of them
though to be honest i am hoping that anyone who wins the R nomination wins the general in a landslide

I think people here are being naive. This is NOT going to be a slam dunk.

I believe this poll. When CNN calls you and ask you who do you preffer, out great multi racial President or some racist white Republican? ".....well I don't want to be called a racist."

These mainstream drive-bys are grasping at straws to buck up this guy.

THe only reason they published this: Palin was last.
- - - - - - - -
What would anyone expect with the media trashing she’s received? Given an opportunity to campaign and expose her depth on issues, she will repair the unfavorables. It’s all in how they phrase the question. If they asked who would you vote for to stop reckless spending or who do you trust to defend the constitution and end big government, a completely different result would have been obtained. That is what the election of 2012 will be about.

Disregard all further cnn/zogby shit.It will only dishearten you.

Zogby is crap. They're the left's Rasmussen, only worse. But CNN's polling usually isn't this bad. I don't know what's up with this one.
