While President Obama’s current approval ratings are hovering around a not so great 45% (the 44% on Gallup on June 10 being his lowest point yet) he is still up against all prospective 2012 Republican challengers according to a new poll from PPP.
These are the head to head matchups (in order of how well the […]

Amazingly Fox News still claims to be an actual news organization that is “fair & balanced” even though there are currently four probable 2012 Republican candidates for President working for the network: Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, & Rick Santorum.
To understand the absurdity of this situation, imagine if Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, & […]

In a new CNN poll President Obama leads each of the top four Republican candidates for 2012 (results on the poll for the Republican primary below) by at least 8% points.
Obama 53%, Mitt Romney 45%
Obama 54%, Mike Huckabee 45%
Obama 55%, Sarah Palin 42%
Obama 55%, Newt Gingrich 43%
Each head to head shows President Obama comfortably […]

Despite the President’s approval ratings slipping below 50% for the first time recently, Obama still leads his potential 2012 GOP challengers in head to head match-ups in a new set of PPP polls:
Obama 49% Mike Huckabee 44%
Obama 48% Mitt Romney 43%
Obama 51% Sarah Palin 43%
Obama 46% Ron Paul 38%

The media seems far more focused on Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney seems to be seen as “next in line” for the Republican nomination but the latest Gallup polling shows Mike Huckabee may actually be the 2012 front runner at this point (a full 3 years from the 2012 general election!)
According to this poll […]

A new Marist poll of a potential head to head match-up between Sarah Palin (as the GOP nominee) and Barack Obama (running for his 2nd term) in the 2012 Presidential election has Obama way out ahead of Palin.
Overall: Obama 56%, Palin 33%, Undecided 11%
Democrats: Obama 92%, Palin 4%, Undecided 4%
Republicans: Obama 20%, Palin 73%, Undecided […]

According to this new Gallup poll the front runners for 2012 for the Republican Presidential nomination are Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, & Mike Huckabee. All three of these people played a big part in the 2008 contests so these results are no big surprise that they’re in front in such a poll but it also […]

Many of us have a hard time imagining why someone as obviously unqualified as Sarah Palin would even be considered as a possible nominee for President but recent polling has shown that she actually appears to have a pretty good shot at winning the 2012 Republican nomination.
35% of Republicans say they would be “very likely” […]

The title of this website has been 2008 Presidential Candidates since I launched it in 2007. Today I’m changing it to 2012 Presidential Candidates. Presidential politics is pretty much a perpetual thing.
So who else is likely to be a 2012 Presidential Candidate other than President Obama?
I think at this point there are three from […]

President Obama’s speech Tuesday night has won him back a significant amount of support according to the latest approval ratings poll from Gallup. Obama’s approval rating rose from a low of 59% to 67%.
Certainly the 2012 election is still far off in the distance but as of right now it’s hard to imagine the […]
