Sarah Palin could be President Obama's savior. When it comes to the 2012 presidential race, a new poll suggests President Obama could lose - unless he's running against Sarah Palin.
The Politico/George Washington University Battleground Poll shows a majority of Americans are considering voting against Mr. Obama. 44 percent of those surveyed say they will vote to replace Mr. Obama and 13 percent say they'll consider voting for someone else. Only 38 percent say he deserves re-election.
Voters are down on the president for lots of reasons, but especially his policies. By double digits, they disapprove of his new health care law and they trust congressional Republicans to create jobs more than Mr. Obama. This is despite the fact that a majority of voters like him personally.
Mr. Obama's best hope of winning a second term just may be Alaska's drop-out governor, Sarah Palin. if the election were held today, voters say they would back the president over Palin by an nine point margin.
Support for Palin is weak in the midwest and the northeast... and almost 60 percent of voters say her actions since since resigning as governor have made them less likely to vote for her for president...

Obama can't run in 2012.
Unless he comes up with a birth certificate.
Cafferty is the Howard Beale of CNN. I’m expecting his on-air meltdown to come any day now.

Palin scares the bajeepers our of them. Imagine a honest politician with power with inside the beltway.
we will see tonnes of this story til 2012 to convince us Palin is a bad choice republican, pick someone else. They’re scared of her
I knew him in Des Moines and you are 100% correct. Seems like he’s off the bottle, though.
Yeah, Jack and CNN - sure - it’s another one of those - “let’s throw this out and see if it sticks”. Thanks for the laugh.
GO SARAH!
Caff is a lib. Therefore he wants a lib prez. If he was really sincere about this analysis and really believed it, he would be encouraging pubs to make Palin their candidate so she would lose to Obama. But what he is really showing here is Palin is a real threat to win the prez and so he is trying to scare off pubs from nominating her. It is that simple, and Caff is that transparent.
remember reagan was losing in the polls all the way up to the last week of the election, and he won by a landslide. The media were trying to help Carter
He needs to worry about Hillary not Sarah.
Cafferty is also a drunken bastard. He and Rick Sanchez must have gone out for a bender last night. CNN, otherwise known as the Communist News Network tells us everyday who they know can beat Obama. Please, at this point my dog could beat Obama in 2012
Yes, it will be the chorus of “she’s not electable”, we have to “adopt the Buckley rule”, they’ll probably say that about DeMint and Bolton too.
Drop out governor, eh? You mean just like 0 dropped out of the Senate after serving only two years of his six-year term? Hmmmm...
By what means? You think any day now Orly Taitz is going to ‘have the goods’? What mechanism do you suppose will keep 0bama from being on the ballot?
Actually that's what I like best about Palin but I don't know if it's wise to back someone for a reason like that and I'm hoping someone else will come along between now and then.
62% of voters say Obama's actions since resigning as Senator have made them less likely to vote for him as president.
Seriously.
Who mentioned Orly Taitz? Mr. Obama’s political weakness or even one state asking to see a BC keeps him off the ballot, whatever Dr. Taitz does or doesn’t do.
Sure is nice of Liberals to be so concerned about Republicans making the “wrong choice” for their candidate.
I mean, they were behind John McCain until they switched gears during the campaign and told the voters that this was no longer the “moderate” McCain of 2000 but some unholy “rightwing extremist” McCain. He was so “extreme” apparently that to rally his own party to vote for him he had to find someone even MORE to the right of him if you can imagine such an American politician existing. < /sarc >
This shows you how scared the Left is of Palin.....
