No, this is not coming from Rasmussen or an internal GOP poll, but from the normally Democrat-sympathetic Public Policy Polling. PPP pitted Barack Obama against five potential Republican challengers for the 2012 presidential campaign, and the only one Obama beat was … Jan Brewer. Even that, PPP admitted, resulted from Brewer’s lack of name recognition. The headline, though, is Sarah Palin’s dead heat with the President:
With his approval numbers hitting new lows it’s no surprise that Barack Obama’s numbers in our monthly look ahead to the 2012 Presidential race are their worst ever this month. He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46. The only person tested he leads is Jan Brewer, who doesn’t have particularly high name recognition on the national level at this point.
It’s not that any of the Republican candidates are particularly well liked. Only Huckabee has positive favorability numbers at 37/28. Romney’s at 32/33, Gingrich at 32/42, Palin at 37/52, and Brewer at 17/20. But with a majority of Americans now disapproving of Obama it’s no surprise that a large chunk of them would replace him as President if they had that choice today.
There are two things driving these strong poll numbers for the Republican candidates. The first is a lead with independents in every match up. Romney leads 48-35 with them, Gingrich is up 50-39, Huckabee has a 46-40 advantage, Palin’s up 47-42, and even Brewer has a 38-37 edge.
While you prefer to get your PPP Poll numbers spun through the Right Wing Media mill(Hot Air), I prefer to take the facts right from the source, before the addition of Right Wing Spin.
When we first started polling a Barack Obama/Sarah Palin Presidential contest in March of 2009 her favorability was 39/50 and she trailed Obama 55-35.

Oh that's right, every news outlet is "Right Wing" except the ones you quote. Now I remember.
You guys just make it up as you go along don't ya?
OK... Lets see if YOUR Site, (HOT AIR) tends to LEAN to the RIGHT.
OPEN THE SITE... WHAT DO YOU SEE? Across the top banner is a Pic of Obama with the text: "TELL OBAMA TO LEAVE ARIZONA ALONE" I guess that may be your first clue that you are in a Republican Swamp.
Go to YOUR HOT AIR homepage, and what is there? A grumpy pic of Obama, with the text: "Obama’s open-hand policy now becoming clenched fist?" HUH! Maybe it's just a coincidence that there are two major stories and pics unfavorable to Obama...
How about: Politico wonders: Why is our very successful president doing so badly?
OR New White House talking point: Al Qaeda is racist
OK... So the stories are ALL Right Wing, but what about their Comentary??? Who do they feature??? NONE OTHER THAN ED MORRISSEY! (He sits just to the RIGHT of Attila the Hun.) Morrissey's bio? Ed Morrissey is an American conservative blogger, columnist, motivational speaker, and talk show host.
If all you read is Right Wing Propaganda, then ALL you will know is Right Wing Propaganda. Pathetic!

The next president will AGAIN be selected by the globalists. Palin or obama? Don't matter much what we think...really! The one who sits in the oval office will be the one the globalist CHOOSE to sit there. The tea party movement may threaten their hold on the global political system, but it will just be a matter of time when the globalists infiltrate them too!!
