[Buckeye McFrog]

Voters remain fairly evenly divided

Translation: Less than two weeks after taking down Osama Bin Laden, Obama would lose narrowly to a Republican that the Press cannot even name.

And that’s sans body. Just pick a name from the phone book fer cryin out loud.

If we can’t defeat Baraq with $5 gas, surging inflation, 10% unemployment, plunging house prices, and Obamacare, we deserve him.

Post of the week.

The numbers show that Mike Huckabee runs even with Obama at this point. Mitt Romney, who just formally entered the race, trails the president by five, 45% to 40%. Others who trail by single digits include Ron Paul and Haley Barbour.

Candidates trailing by double digits include Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, Herman Cain and Jon Huntsman.

Key data for the current race.

Bet you won’t see this in the MSM.

The Generic candidate in polls always does better than an actual named candidate. That’s because the un-named candidate has no negative name recognition or baggage and this allows respondents to imagine a best-case-scenario. I don’t like that the generic isn’t leading Obama comfortably at this point.

[Retired Greyhound]

Romney, Huntsman, Pawlenty and Daniels are about as generic as one could be.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Blacks are an automatic 95% vote for Hussein. Single women are probably 60% for the Cult. What other large demographic will it carry?

[DangerZone]

Actually, I think it is still Zero's election to lose.

1} There are too many Americans who are tax parasites.
2} There are too many GOP primaries that remain open which is especially bad since Zero is running unopposed.
3} Illegal voting by illegal aliens or worse a mass amnesty and quick pathway to citizenship by executive decree are both real dangers.
4} The Republican field is weak.

You don’t think that this far into his term, Obama should be getting slammed in the polls? I don’t see where he gets this much support.

[Gondring]

I don’t like that the generic isn’t leading Obama comfortably at this point.

Me either, but it reflects what I hear out there.

[Tolsti2]

This is pretty bad news.

[ilovesarah2012]

That is wishful thinking. At this point, he has a good chance of being re-elected.

[DangerZone]

If we hit $5 gas and food prices reach the point where large numbers of people can’t even sustain themselves, things may very well move beyond elections.
