A poll taken in 2009 is no more reliable in predicting the 2012 election than these:

Sarah Palin can grab voters' attention whenever she wants, but they're not ready to put her in the White House – not by a long shot.
If the 2012 presidential election were held today, and Palin was the GOP candidate, she’d get wiped out by President Obama, a new Marist poll showed Tuesday.
Only 33% of registered voters would go for Palin compared to Obama’s 56%, with 11% undecided.
Obama would pull in 92% of Democrats and Palin would get 73% of Republicans.
The President would clean Palin’s clock among amost all voting groups.
Independents would go 49% to 34% for Obama, according to the poll of 854 registered voters with a margin of error of 3.5%.
Men went for Obama 54% to 36% and women by a wider margin: 58% to 30%.
Whites favored Obama 50% to 40%, African-Americans by 99% to 1%, and Latinos 62% to 27%.
The only region where Palin held Obama under 50% was the South -- where Obama had 49% to 38% margin.
How in the world do you take a 2012 poll in 2009?
didn’t we say this about Hillary?
What Obama needs is a primary challenger.
It has to get uglier before it gets better.
2010 has to be a very very ugly election. The way congress critters want to avoid the voters, so should the MSM feel very insecure. Insecure in their jobs and insecure for the advertisers.
It has to be such a landslide in 2010 that Democrats start to see Obama as a lame duck and primary challengers start to form 2012 exporatory committees and OPENLY declaring their candidacies. (plural) Obama is a weak man and a weaker president. This can be used to essentially turn 2012 into an open seat presidential race.
“That’s not what Rasmussen said...”
What did he say?
I’m not looking for any term, simply directing you to the link.
Let’s see, on the one hand we have a Marxist who has been in permanent campaign mode for more than two years, and who has the overwhelming power of the entire U. S. government at his command for more than six months.
On the other hand, we have someone who has been under vicious attack from nearly all sides for more than a year.
Which one is going to have higher name identification with the general public?
Gee, that’s a really tough question.
Yeah, good luck with that.
I would like to see these numbers 1 year from now
The left tells you who they fear.
With a click on her facebook page, she has the libs running scared. She did all this behind her computer screen, imagine her actually running against him, she would wipe the floor with him. Poor media, so desperate because they see their messiah failing so miserably
I love the woman. I will fight for her to win. The tide and mood of the country could carry her. I just think she’s paper thin. Over another long campaign I believe she will turn off the swing voters with her parrot like pablum. I hope to be proven wrong.
Just wait until she (assuming she runs) gets on the stump at rallies and America is so sick of Obama they want to throw up.
If the 2012 presidential election were held today, ............................. The only problem is she isn’r running today. Give her time, giver her fair exposure and she will do fine in 2012. Any NY poll is Garbage. Its as good as California’s.
‘Parrot like pablum’? Methinks you have not read her Facebook article where she made the point against 0bama’s death panels. First ‘death panels’ became an accepted part of the discourse, then, following her Facebook article, the Senate Finance Cmte. removed them from the bill. She is impacting both the way we speak and the things that happen in DC. Bear in mind, she is doing this as a private citizen.
Your love of/for her and your assertion of your belief that over another long campaign, she will turn off the swing voters with her ‘parrot like pablum’ run counter to each other.
But again, given the way things have gone in these past 3-4 weeks, how can you think it pablum at all?
Yeah, and I also remember how a third-party populist split the vote and in walked Clintoon.
marist. natiowide. i was wondering too.

Well as 2012 is three years off, and a week is a long time in politics, this survey doesnt mean a dang thing.
if that is true and this is registered voters which that in itself shows a near statistical tie with the numbers they gave then Palin is way ahead in the polls.
Rasmussen (7/20) -- Obama 48 Palin 42
PPP (7/20) -- Obama 51 Palin 43 (D 42, R 35, Ind 23)
Marist (8/3-8/6) -- Obama 56 Palin 33
