I couldn't really find a good thread for this, so I thought I'd clutter up this one. Good website here.
Reports of the President’s demise are greatly exaggerated Obama Way Ahead In Hypothetical 2012 NH Primary Matchups Despite the recent chatter that Obama could face a primary challenge in 2012, a new poll of New Hampshire Democrats finds that those concerns are probably overblown. The poll, conducted by Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies, matched Obama against three Democrats - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) None of the races were even close. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they would vote for Obama if Clinton were to challenge him, while just 28% said they'd support Clinton. Against Dean, Obama held a staggering 68% lead, with 78% of respondents supporting him in that scenario versus 10% who supported Dean. With Sanders as a challenger, the gap was even larger, with Obama on top 79% to 8%. Obama's apparent safety in the state is the result of his sterling approval and favorability ratings there. Seventy-seven percent of New Hampshire Democrats approve of the job he is doing as President, versus just 14% who disapprove, according to the poll. Obama's approval rating is even higher, with 84% of respondents in the poll viewing the President favorably, while only 13% viewed him unfavorably.
It's kind of like that Onion article when he was elected. In 2012, the country will still be ****ty enough to give the job to a dude who is not white.
I didn't even have to post in this thread. There are a few other 'Democrats' that they could nominate.
