Obama Leads Potential 2012 Match Ups

By GottaLaff

First we find out liberals still strongly support the president, and now this. What a loser, huh?

A new Public Policy Polling survey tests potential 2012 presidential match ups and finds Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and Tim Pawlenty "all have their best performances relative to Obama in this month's poll and Mitt Romney matches his strongest standing yet."

• Obama 46%, Huckabee 45%
• Obama 47%, Romney 42%
• Obama 50%, Palin 44%
• Obama 48%, Pawlenty 35%

"The importance of these numbers 35 months before Obama has to stand for reelection is obviously limited but it does seem pretty clear that his electoral position is weaker than it was a year ago at this time."

Yes, it is weaker than a year ago... when he hadn't yet been sworn in... and hadn't so much as started his honeymoon period yet... and was viewed as welcome relief from BushCo... and was still basking in his landslide win over Palin/McCain... and hadn't made any controversial decisions yet... or had yet to deal with a Congress that resembles a barroom brawl... on a good day.
