More than half of registered voters believe President Obama will lose a bid for a second term, even as more Americans say they approve of his job performance than at any time in more than a year.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Tuesday, shows 51 percent of registered voters, and the same percentage of adult Americans, believe Obama will lose if he runs for re-election. 46 percent say he would win.

Americans Think Obama Would Lose In 2012 - Hotline On Call


Oh my....Not good news for demo's.

It's not really that surprising. It's not necessarily bad news for Democrats, though. A great deal of Democrats aren't exactly happy with Obama's performance thus far. It's not like he's their best hope or something.
 
And it's early yet. We'll see what happens.
 
Honestly, it's a silly poll. At this point in 2007, no one knew who he was aside from a few connected people and those who may have seen him speak in 2004.

And then he got elected; so I don't see how a poll like this now - without putting an opponent up even - has anything to say.

Other than 51% of Americans don't care who runs against him as long as he is out.....HA! But I tried to move this to blogs section since it was CNN's blog....I guess it didn't take.

Right now, most Americans don't think he could beat a rented mule. People want a do-over on this one.

It would help if you tried reading your own quote. "A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Tuesday, shows 51 percent of registered voters, and the same percentage of adult Americans, believe Obama will lose if he runs for re-election. 46 percent say he would win." It says that they don't think he'll win if he is re-elected, not that they want him out.

Oh well, what does that matter? let's just say what we want it to mean. :coffeepap

you folks need to look at these posts and observe what an echo chamber you create for each other's ignorance. for a n overall look at obams chances of reelection, consult a site like "pollster". obams is currently favored by about 5% of anyone the party-for-the-rich can run at present concensus

Fortunately for the Dems, the Repubs only aspire to find a rented mule to run against him.
 
Whoever thinks this is jumping the gun. We have a long way to go and I just don't see anyone coming up on the Republcan side that I can get very passionate about right now. It is hard to unseat an incumbent unless things start totally falling apart. Yeah, they are falling apart but if things are percieved to be a little better than when he started or at least unchanged, people won't want to to mess with big changes like a new President.

Of course these people are all racist.

You guys elected a president with the same credentials as Justin Timberlake.

I've hired data entry clerks with a thicker resume than Obama.

You've hired data entree clerks out of Harvard?

I did not realize that Justin Timberlake was a constitutional scholar, a graduate of one of the top law schools in the country and a professor at one of the other top law schools. If you are hiring data clerks with that kind of resume, you are not a very good businessman.

OTH, "you guys" take seriously a four time drop out of series of third tier schools that has never fulfilled the commitment of any elected job she has taken. That certainly says a whole lot about your standards of excellence... so why am I defending myself to the likes of you?

If Obama stays on track my prediction that he will not get the Nomination at the Convention.

But then so far the Dims (no spell Error) have been reluctant to wake up to Obama's failures which so far includes every damn thing he touches.

What are all these "big failures" that people speak of? List them in alphabetical order please.

Edit: On second thought, list them in order of importance.

blah. whoever gets elected whatever party will still be carrying water for the same select few people. With that said very few potential republicans are inspiring enough to defeat Obama. Nominate someone like Palin and be sure to fail. I also don't like the chances of the 2 mormons and 1 baptist preacher that seem to be starting their campaigns. Hopefully we are at least smart enough to see through their phoniness.

Yeah right. Failures. Like historic HC reform; saving GM; student loan reform; Credit CARD Act/financial reform; Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act - protection against pay discrimination; hate crime legislation. I'm sure Democrats will be running in droves from him.

No...It says they don't think he can win. It doesn't say they wouldn't vote for him.

Hugely different things.

Of course, you'd understand that if you could read it. Nearly EVERYONE who voted for McCain didn't think he could win.

Totally different things.
 
I still wouldn't be worried if I was Obama or one of his still standing supporters, simply for the fact that the GOP doesn't have a well known face to face Obama. Although I feel that if the American public would invest more time into looking into some of the potential upcoming GOP candidates that the races would be extremely close.
 
Of course these people are all racist.

You act as if all left wingers are claiming that people who don't support Obama are racists. It's easy to do so when you pick out the outspoken few who are misguided enough to do so. Perhaps you could actually take part in the conversation in a constructive manner rather than baiting with foolish stereotypes that you and your ilk have about the left.
 
And it's early yet. We'll see what happens.

That's very true... it's still early and in that short time Obama quickly piled up one incompetency and misstep after another, spanning the entire spectrum of politics. Economics to foreign policy. This poll, Brown and the Midterms reflect the sentiment of a public soured on a liar and deceiver.

Just think... Obama... Father of The Tea Party!

People thought Bush would lose in 2004.

And then the Democratic candidate was announced.
 
I don't see how he can over come the problems that face him.

The war in Afghanistan is going badly, and losing the faith of the American people.

The entire middle east is in upheaval, far worse shape then when he took over

North Korea is thumbing it's nose at the US

Iran is furthering their ability to obtain nukes.

Generally in the worlds eyes, we are now seen as far less of a force then when he took office.

He is going to have a fight on his hands with everything to do with his health care bill

Our nation debt has the American people up in arms

Deficit spending is just plain out of sight.

Unemployment is still higher then when he took office.

We are no closer to and alternate “green” fuel then before. And gas and oil prices are rising.

We are just as dependent on foreign oil or more so then before.

He has lost many seniors because they have not received a increase in SS in two years.

Inflation is just now starting to rear it's ugly head, and may well continue to worsen.

The left sees him as to far to the center.

The right sees him as to far to the left.

You have to realize that he really only has a year to work on all these things, because starting at the end or sooner of this year, the campaigning begins, even if a couple of the listed things manage to get better, there is still a long list that he is going to have to defend himself again.

Any way you look at it, it's going to be an uphill battle. I will agree with jambalaya, it's still to early to call, and there will have to be a viable opponent. If the Republicans try to put up another moderate like McCain, there is a good chance of losing, Some one like Mitt Romney. In my opinion would be a good choice, add Chris Christie* to the ticket as VP and I think you would have a winning ticket.
