A new poll from Public Policy Polling shows President Obama trailing Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich in support for the 2012 presidential election.

Ex-Massachusetts Gov. Romney leads by 46 to 43 percent, ex-Arkansas Gov. Huckabee by 47 to 45 percent and ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 46 to 45 percent.

Obama is tied with ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at 46 percent. The only potential Republican candidate he leads is lesser-known Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, 44 to 36 percent.

The president’s numbers are the worst ever in Public Policy Polling’s monthly survey.

But the poll respondents didn’t express much enthusiasm for the potential Republican candidates either. Of the five contenders, only Huckabee has more people who view him favorably than unfavorably -- 37 percent to 28 percent.

Romney received a favorable rating from 32 percent of respondents and an unfavorable rating from 33 percent. For Gingrich, the margin was 32 to 42 percent, for Palin it was 37 to 52 percent and for Brewer 17 to 20 percent.

Still, Republicans enjoy a strong advantage over Obama among independent voters. Those respondents favored Romney over the president by 48 to 35 percent, Gingrich by 50 to 39 percent, Huckabee by 46 to 40 percent, Palin by 47 to 42 percent and even Brewer by 38 to 37 percent.

No, I’m not surprised. Anyone who would vote for Barry would also vote for Romney.

Simple solution. Romney should challenge Obama in the Democrat primaries.

Poll: Ex-Obama Voters Like Romney

2012 is a LONG way off. WE have got a lot of FILIBUSTERING to do before 2012 rolls around or I won't even bother to vote - America is being destroyed right before out eyes.

Oh and here is a suggestion for all you GOP Senators - STOP THESE MONSTROSITIES BEFORE THEY BECOME LAW AND THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO CALL FOR THE IMPOSSIBILTY OF REPEALING THEM.

Mitt Romney can not be President, he’s not A Natural Born Citizen. His father was born in Mexico.

If the Republicans choose a candidate based on popularity with Obots we are really screwed.

I was working the polls in the rain here in VA in 2008. Romney was the only candidate that the Obama poll workers found acceptable. I was sharing my umbrella with them so I ended up talking with them a lot.

Mitt Romney (hiding somewhere):
”Now that my Romneycare (funded 50% by US taxpayers) is national, ready to hurt
another three hundred million, a little self examination is in order for you stupic Republicans.
You may want to ask yourself “if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney, could not I have garnered more support
of both Obama and his Mitt Romney?


"Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

This really says it all. Are all you Romney supporters happy that your man is getting such support? Or is this maybe a clue that you’ve been led astray by wishful thinking?
