Sure the poll is meaningless, but I don’t love any of the named GOP challengers AS CANDIDATES. So that I am clear, I would vote for any of them, if nominated, over BHO. I voted McQueeg too. I even like Palin and Gingrich. But they carry high negatives with a sizable portion of the electorate, and we can’t afford another six-plus years of gangster leadership.
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.
