Would like to know if these were likely voters as the only places Obama is
above 50% approval is enviorment,education and energy.

He is below 50% approval on budget defecit, health care,immigration, taxes,
gas prices and unemployment.

Unless those polled want Socialism as there top priority Mickey Mouse
should be able to defeat him right now.

Don't believe so.

It's simply going to come down to who the GOP nominates rather than desire for socialism. If it's Newt they don't have a chance. Romney it's probably 50/50. I think Huntsman could win.

which means ..in the real world...which is the exact opposite of Spenceworld....Huntsman(who doesn't even register 1% in Pennsylvaniaright now) is actually in the wrong party...Romney is 50/50 and Newt has a pretty good shot...

I have no idea what the ticket will be but we, at this point, are still talking about Obama/Biden for the dems

A wining combination if they don't speak without a teleprompter!

If kindergartners, could vote, that is.

Hmm, I wonder if Hillary would be the choice over Biden. Obama might not
like that and Hillary may be waiting for Pres 2016. Who knows but both would have to eat crow to make it work.

It's funny, I've read more editorials ripping Newt apart than I could even bother to recall. And they've all been from leading conservative voices...

What's clear is that it's not just that they think he can't beat Obama, more so it's that they don't want him as President.

Saying a moderate Republican is in the wrong party...is exactly what's wrong right now with the GOP.

What's clear is that it's not just that they think he can't beat Obama, more so it's that they don't want him as President. and they'll all take any Republican nominee over Obama

Saying a moderate Republican is in the wrong party...is exactly what's wrong right now with the GOP.Linc Chaffee, Bloomberg, Arlen Specter, these are all guys that criticized the Republican Party and claimed that the "party left them"

Chaffee is great isn't he?

May be, but with my ear to the ground right now, people have nothing good to say
about Obama. With the press being so slanted toward Obama I doubt many people
will make a decesion based on editorials but on their pocket books.
The natives are restless.

Obama is either hot or cold, in that they either do an excellent or terrible job of managing the debate.

If Obama stands up and proclaims he kept us out of a depression and the economy is slowly recovering, killed OBL and a lot of other terrorists, got us finally out of Iraq, expanded health care for millions of Americans and signed a lot of good regulation to protect consumers and the environment. Etc...

Seriously, I forgot to pay my small Firestone bill the other month and because of Democratic legislation I only had to pay a small interest charge rather than a 40 dollar penalty. I like that

A LOT of independent voters will be looking for a much stronger Republican opponent than what the current field is providing. Neither of the two top candidates, Newt and Romney, will excite the evangelical base who turned out for Bush. Romney has a much larger chance of capturing independents but Newt will be like independent kryptonite and kill a lot of Republican Congresspeople in the process. But Romney, while I think he'd make a decent president, there's just that something about him.

Just like in 2004, once it really comes down to the devil you know vs the devil you don't, the incumbent almost always has the upper hand.

You teamin up with the Dems and taking advantage of the legislation makes
me part owner of your tires. Being you want to pay more taxes ya shoulda
been happy paying the $40 penalty anyway "to help the Folks."

Ya I agree there is something there with Romney that I can't put my finger on?
