2012 Poll

[Riot]

Since there is over two years left, what the heck, let's look at other polls, too (as nothing matters this far out)

The survey contained a batch of good news for both the President and Congressional Democrats, however.

Asked to assign blame for the balky economy, 61% point to the Bush Administration, while 27% fault Obama.

The President notched a favorable 31%-26% split between voters who believe his economic policies have helped and those who think they hurt,

while nearly 80% believe the economy is stable or heading in the right direction.

And despite the economic upheaval and political acrimony that have marked his term thus far, voters aren't pining for Obama's predecessor; they tapped Obama over George W. Bush by a 53%-33% margin.

Nor are they convinced that Sarah Palin is up to the challenges of the Oval Office. Obama clobbered Palin, 55%-34%, in a hypothetical 2012 matchup that should have Democrats salivating.
