The latest poll.....obama 12%...soetoro 11%...soebarkah 7%...dunham 6%.

Stranger things have happened.

And I don’t put outright theft and chicanery as weapons of Dem/Lib election wars. Remember all the lawyers in elections past.

That was Phase 1. Now we’ve moved on to Executive Orders, Do-Nothing Congresses ... all in the name of cleaning the cesspool and bi-partisanship.

IMHO, you’re officially un-electable when your approval rating hits 25%.

Keep in mind that dead voters are not included in approval polls. Besides, what makes you think we will have an election in 2012?

The national media is so scare OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE the next election. They will do everything they can to lie, cheat and destroy anyone who gets in their way to help obama.

Blaming ATMs for the unemployment crisis shows how out of touch Obama is with ‘mid’ America.

The weekly unemployment continues to be over 400k new claims each week.

Without significant improvement in the next few months, the theme next will will be “it’s the economy, Stupid!” and Obama and his team seem clueless on how to deal with it.

The election could be the Republicans’ to lose — which they certain can do.

If this many people have a favorable rating for zer0, why don’t they put their fork in their eye while trying to eat?

[Jim Noble]

Do you understand how much of a problem it is that Obama consistently has 40-45% approval?

That means that at least 100 million US residents hate America and want her destroyed.

After he's gone, they will still be here.

What percentage of the vote did Clinton win with?

Stop worrying, dude. Just see to it that he isn’t reelected.

Fortunately, like Ruprecht, they have a buddy to put a cork on the end of it so they don't harm themself.

[TomGuy]

Stranger things have happened.

If Obama's number fall below 40 by early next springs, I think the Dem leadership will pressure him to not run. They will feign some illness or some such. They like having the WH and, after losing the House in 2010 and possibly losing the Senate in 2012, they don't want to head into next fall with such low numbers for their incumbent.

Bounel 2%

[Steely Tom]

With 10 or 15 million fraudulent votes, sure.

[biggredd1]

LOL!!!!

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Of course, Silly. They don’t poll graveyards, they just vote the people in them. Such a silly question.

[pfflier]

If illegals and the dead vote then the answer is yes, zero can be re-elected.

With a 3rd party candidate on the “right”, a 45% approval will win him reelection easily, I’m sad to say. I’m sure he’ll have that 3rd party candidate too.

I’d say it has already been arranged.....
