A new Fox News poll has President Obama losing in 2012 to a generic Republican candidate -- but mostly stomping a few big-name Republicans. Which leads one to wonder -- who is this generic Republican who could beat him?
According to the poll, Obama beats Mitt Romney, 47 percent to 35 percent, defeats Sarah Palin, 55 percent to 31 percent, and makes a quick business of Newt Gingrich, 53 percent to 29 percent. What, no Santorum?
Generically, Obama loses to an unnamed Republican, 43 percent to 47 percent.
Further: 43 percent of Americans say they would vote to re-elect Barack Obama if the 2012 election were held today, which is unchanged from October, yet is down from 52 percent who said they would re-elect him in April.
All in all, 47 percent of Americans say they would vote for someone else rather than re-electing President Obama, up from 31 percent in April.
Moreover, the number saying they would "definitely" vote to re-elect Obama has declined -- going from 37 percent in April to 26 percent in October to 23 percent in the new poll.

If so, it would be because of Obama chinslurps like you.
He needs to win some office first. But he has a great future.
You couldn’t name a conservative, much less 500, chinslurp
This poll is meaningless if it was taken before the Brown Out in Mass...
I just saw something about unemployment benefits—applications shooting up in January, massively—and as always, “unexpectedly.”
Starting in January ‘11, if the GOP really regains a majority in either chamber of Congress or really regains a majority in both chambers of Congress, then Obama will also not be as powerful. A true, super-majority of actual conservatives in the next Congress would really make Obama very powerless. What would Obama DEFINITELY DO next in such political circumstances?
Jack the Ripper has my vote! I take him to be a fairly conservative guy.
I think he was referring only to whether abortion should remain “legal.” He’s pro-choice-to-kill. But he’s against Birth-Canal Brain-Suctioning (that’s the clinical, non-emotional term for “Partial-Birth Abortion”) and Embryonic Stem Cell Research, strangely enough.
I can stomach a Protestant who’s so-so on abortion ahead of a loathsome, vile, Satan-worshipping, phony, pro-abortion “Catholic” any day. E.g., Kennedy, Kerry, Coakley, etc.
I believe the Jan unemployment numbers will be horrific.
Should we be surprised? Romney is a fag. Sarah isn’t near ready (2016 perhaps), and Gingrich is a lech and a RINO. Try Scott Brown for kicks.
DeMint/Bolton
I believe you are right about that. Ubama really screwed the pooch with his gambit of encouraging the economy go to pot in order to incite a clamor by down-on-their-luck unemployed for "free" health care.
Fred Thompson? Michelle Bachmann? Paul Ryan?
If we pray fervently, he/she will become known. We have time.
Yes, AND Monkeys could depart form my nether regions also...
Another excellent combination.
“But he’s against Birth-Canal Brain-Suctioning (that’s the clinical, non-emotional term for “Partial-Birth Abortion”) and Embryonic Stem Cell Research, strangely enough.”
it’s not so strange...he seems to be in favor of other things to limit abortion without touching the Roe hot potato. It may be his strategy to get in all these other restrictions in but since he supports Roe as law of the land, the feminists are off his case.
