Um... the media beating silly his primary Republican opponent comes to mind.

Heck, the Conservative media (and blogs) did enough of that too. Until September if your first name wasn't Sarah most Freepers had their guns on you.

Best poll is to ask people you know and what you see from people you learned to trust.

LBJ. Ford. Carter. GHWB. Can BHO be so hard to beat? He's much worse than Carter, and Carter got beat!

I’ll take your odd.

I think you’re right. When I saw Obama sworn in back in early ‘09, my gut told me right then and there he’s a two-termer.

Same as my gut told me the same with G.W. Bush and Clinton.

So far, I’ve been right. All my friends back stateside laughed at me when I said W was going to have two terms.

I made a total of $400 off that little bet. :)

“Consumer confidence is up for the 3rd straight month...”

***********************************************************

Oh really? Below are reported numbers from Aug thru Oct which is the latest available.

US consumer confidence for October unexpectedly dropped to its lowest level since 2009, when the index reached 26.9 points, San Francisco Chronicle reported.

According to the survey conducted by New York-based private research group, The Conference Board, the US consumer confidence index for October stood at 39.8, down from 46.4 in September.

“...The firm’s Consumer Economic Index is now at 45.4, down 10 percentage points from July and down 1.5 points from the 46.9 level it reported on August 10.

Consumer Confidence Hits Record Non-Recession Low: Survey

In the latest indicator of an unusually weak recovery, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index hit an all-time non-recession low in September, according to figures released Wednesday.

The index also comes close to lows seen during the recession in 2008 and 2009, which, with consumer spending accounting for roughly 70 percent of the economy, signals the recovery could remain weak for some time.

Compared to even recessions themselves, the current mood of Americans is historically low, remaining well below the average of the past five recessions combined, going back to 1980, according to Advisor Perspectives.

MSM keeps trumpeting the congressional approval numbers...can you tell me one thing Boehner, et al, have done to show they should be re-elected and R's should pick up seats? I have to say no. Ours side has been out maneuvered by Obama and the MSM... there is nothing coming from our side to combat his daily comments hammering the Americans (”we've been lazy for the past 20 yrs”)...why didn't Boehner take time out and get in front of a camera and have a Can-Do message for America? Obama isn't leading, so lead for him...look electable and espouse what our congress has been doing behind the scenes...if there isn't anything to say then the 10% approval will NOT turn into a republican majority in 2012.

The problem is when the general public look at the Republican’s running for office all it does is make Obama look that much better.

“Been trying to tell people the same thing. Yet it seems like the majority here on FR have managed to convince themselves Obama could not be re-elected - even though polling actually shows him faring remarkably well considering what a terrible job he has done. This absurd, echo chamber fantasy that Obama is going to be so easy to beat that we can just run anybody is absolute foolishness. Obama will be extremely difficult to defeat, he will get no less than 45% of the vote and is more likely to get closer to 50% of vote. IF we win in 2012, it will probably be by a very slim margin.”

My favorites are the posters who think their local dogcatcher could beat him

Yes, these are the same type of people who thought Christine O'Donnell could win a statewide race in Delaware and were SHOCKED when she lost in a landslide defeat (even though every political analyst both right and left said she'd be crushed). There are some folks that are entirely divorced from reality and live in an echo chamber fantasy world.

The Christine O'Donnell defeat was an easy call. I was surprised when Sharron Angle lost, though.

Obama CAN be defeated. It will be with a strong candidate and the current GOP field is weak.

If it does happen, I'm not betting on a landslide. Things are different today than in 1980

At Intrade, where people bet actual money, Obama is just a shade better than 50-50. Considering that we don't have a candidate and Obama has yet to have to defend the indefensible in a real debate with a real opponent, I'm not as pessimistic as you.

Here's the Intrade Link.

Unfortunately, further perusal of the site shows that the bettors are giving Romney about 2 chances out of 3 to be the nominee.

“Considering that we don’t have a candidate and Obama has yet to have to defend the indefensible in a real debate with a real opponent, I’m not as pessimistic as you.”

Obama does far worse against a generic Republican than any specific individual candidate. Once the GOP nominates someone, let’s see where the Intrade line goes.

You're right about that. It would be nice if we could nominate someone who would add to, rather than subtract from republican support.

It could be noise but also could be due to the hate campaign in the media against the republican challengers. Meanwhile, obama has had nothing but suckups reporting on him.

This is the poll result we really need to watch:

Generic Congressional Ballot for 11/16/11

For the first time in a long time, Democrats are even with Republicans. Remember that Obama is trying to run against congress. Also remember the deadline for the so-called budget compromise. GOP republicans like to get screwed over by Democrats.
