It seems that Americans can add "no more Obamas" to the oft-heard calls for no more Bushes or Clintons, despite the president's belief that he would be a shoo-in for a third term.

Rasmussen Reports on Friday released a poll showing that just one third of likely U.S voters would keep President Obama in office if he ran again. Even among Democrats, only 57 percent would vote for him a third time.

[rktman]

Silly poll. Everybody knows that 57% of dem votes beats 105% of conservative votes. Don't these guys understand election math.

[proust]

It’s easy when you run unopposed and have dirt on everybody.

[MinorityRepublican]

In a hypothetical scenario, Obama will win 3rd term quite easily. His coalition of progressives, blacks and millenials will turn out to vote for him.

[MinorityRepublican]

The same coalition will fragment for Hillary’s bid for Presidency in 2016.

[DoughtyOne]

The law is the law, and no one person is above the law, not even the president.

Since when has he recognized this fact?

Never before now.

Prove you're a U. S. Citizen maggot.

It's easy when you're in charge of the vote counters.

I agree.
He won in 2012 (332 evs) with $4 gas, surging food prices, 8% unemployment (13% actual), trillion dollar deficits, Benghazi, and Obamacare.
His 2016 path would be easier assuming no big changes between now and then.

[GeronL]

57% of Dems means he wins the primary

then the GOPE will fall over themselves to lose

[proust]

That too, with no one to challenge it.

[rktman]

You forgot the millions of trespassers who will somehow be eligible to vote just in time.

[rktman]

Did you miss #factsdontmatter? LOL!

[Snickering Hound]

He'd take 40 states against Jeb.

[DoughtyOne]

Probably so, while answering nature’s call er somethin’.

Another hypothetical scenario: At a deadlocked Demo convention, a voice vote nominates Michelle Obama as the party candidate for 2016.

Don't believe it could happen?
Watch discussion of this motion and vote, from the 2012 convention:

I believe she could win in November if the Dems can make it a 3-way election.

(Mooch/Bush/Tea)

[proust]

Would that make Michelle a “dark horse”?

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Hillary Clinton would be 0dungheap’s third term.

[research99]

An Obama has to win in 2016, if the alternative is Trey Gowdy as Attorney General in 2017.

Lifetime protection for the biggest thieves. It’s the Chicago way.

[certrtwngnut]

And hitlery would be the “pale horse”.

" Even among Democrats, only 57 percent would vote for him a third time."

Word the question differently. "Do you choose Obama or Walker/Cruz/Trump/Bush" and watch that shoot up to at least 87%. Scum will vote for scum.

He'd probably do better than Hillary will. She can't gin up minorities and hipster Whites as much as he can. They only people hot for her are hardcore feminazis, who are looking for that first vagina victory.
