Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama holds a double-digit lead over GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in hypothetical general election matchups, according to a new poll.

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Wednesday also indicates that the president's approval rating has inched over the 50% mark in CNN surveys for the first time since last May, when the polls were still registering the after effects of the death of Osama bin Laden. The number of Americans who say the economy's in good shape has jumped 13 points since January, though the survey shows a majority still think it is in poor shape.

That’s okay, since they can always throw Jefferey Toobin and Wolf Blitzer on there to look shocked and amazed when Barry suffers a 46 state wipeout.

I have believed for a long time now that none of the three top GOP contenders can beat 0bamarx.

Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah! Draft Sarah!

I know. I’m dreaming. But I think she’s the only one who would have a realistic shot.

If you expected to be the presidential nominee of a major party during an economic depression, and would need a strong turnout from suffering middle class party members and independents in flyover country to win, would you during the months leading up the election spend $12 million remodeling a home in the wealthy enclave of La Jolla, California? http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/for-romney-a-four-car-garage-with-its-own-elevator/

Ask Mitt Romney. He is doing exactly that. He is either very insensitive to the electorate or a very smart and wealthy man who already knows he is not going to win the general election. Take your pick.

They also will be reporting Unemployment "numbers" show 100% Employment, with no Un-Employment Claims, 2 chickens in every pot and a Cadillac Escalade in every inner-city garage, Free Shit for everybody (if they are GLBT, black, or Hispanic), and full Amnesty for any Mexican in the USA by midnite next Friday.

Obama is GREAT!

It sounds like Santorum and Romney are essentially even (43% to 42%) when it comes to matching up against Obama. I’ve already heard a couple Obama campaign people talk about Romney, and they’ve pointed out Romney’s flip flops and Romney’s blueprint for Obamacare. I think they will have fun going up against Romney.

Jedi, thank you for answering my question.

It’s difficult for me to look at Drudge now. Did you happen to catch Santorum explaining to Shawn Hannity the poolside pic that was posted on Drudge?

Santorum said he a few minutes to take his child to the pool. Hannity teased him about not being fit for a swimsuit pic and he took in fun.

Shows you example of Santorum’s good character.
