I agree. They did the same thing in the 2008 election with McLame.

Your mistake here is taking anything put out by CNN as “credible news”.

I’m surprised BO is only getting 55% against a few people (all of whom have either been villified or softly suggested by the MSM) and none have even announced they are running for POTUS.

We need a bigger boat!

Bottom line as I see it:

1) Probably a bogus poll. Show me the questions and the actual data with the crosstabs and I can slice and dice it pretty much any way you want.

2) Obama’s approval is below 50% which is the kiss of death forany politician. Not necessarily a forgone conclusion, but any candidate below 50% is considered in trouble.

3) All Republicans are with the MOE, so it actually tells very little. Show me a few polls with the same questions over a period of time, not some goofy flash poll, then we’ll talk.

C’mon people, 2012 is two-and-a-half years away. Most of the contenders for the GOP nod in 2012 will likely not even be people considered frontrunners today. Let’s focus on THIS NOVEMBER.

well it is a CNN poll so you are probably right about it being bogus to one degree or another

Why is this shocking to anyone? Sure, Obamarx is a moron and people don’t want to vote for him but the GOP choices are:

Romney - passed Obamacare v 1.0 and couldn’t beat McCain

Huckabee - Really? Seriously?

Gingrich - brilliant guy but is the disgraced/polarizing former Speaker

Palin - best conservative of the bunch but a lot of people have an unfavorable opinion of her.

Obamarx loses in “concept” to an “unnamed Republican” but beats all “real” Republicans that are named as front-runners. Huck, Romney nor Gingrich has a chance of winning. Palin will have to go through a huge metamorphosis with the public to have a chance. The best bet is someone like Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio.

No way a radical/socialist who is outed and doesn’t listen to the voice of the people gets a second term.

Republicans have to run the mother of all turkeys to lose this IMO.
