Re: Polls suggest Obama far from a shoo-in to win the 2012 presidential election

Trumps value is really in being the firebrand, and saying the things the
candidates cannot say.  Same with Sarah Palin.

 

Neither of them should run, they should just be the attack dogs.

The polls are hard to figure out at this stage.  It depends on a lot of
things (gas prices rise and the right/wrong track divide increases along
with drops Presidential approval ratings) not the least of which-who is he
running against.  Until then, declaring an outcome is a fools game.  A lot
can change in either direction by the time the Republican Nominee is
chosen...and that's a factor as well.  Take Trump, for instance.  I agree
with Mike that he should not be under estimated in appealing for the
Republican ticket... but I think Trump over-estimates his generally
popularity with voters outside the Republican base.  

 

Trying to predict a win or loss when we don't know who is running against
him is pretty pointless.  Afterall, a "Generic Republican" still fares
better overall any of the actual candidates up against Obama.

 

It's interesting that the article ignores polling indications that show
large numbers of Republicans and even self identitfied Tea Party members
opposing Republican plans that involve eliminating medicare and medicade.
The Republican candidates *could* face voter opposition from within if they
support the Ryan plan.
