Obama political fortunes are rising against GOP challengers

So says this article:

http://content.usatoday.com/communit...s-are-rising/1

Apparently Obama would beat Romney 51 to 38 percent and crush Palin 56-30!

Quite a turn around in a few short months.

It would be suicidal to nominate Palin, but there's a certain part that wants to see:

Palin won't be running for President.

Not anymore.

I had a feeling Obama was about to make a comeback.
But this is still just one poll.
It's always a good idea to check who's being surveyed in these things, because it does make a difference:

METHODOLOGY:

This survey of 1,018 adults was conducted Jan. 6-10. People 18 and older residing in the continental United States were interviewed by telephone.
When the survey population is adults rather than registered voters or likely voters, democrats do better. So, I'd like to see some other surveys of registered or likely voters for confirmation.

We agree on something.

She is mostly going to shoot off her mouth.

She's good at that.

With they way the GOP has shown that the people who voted for them were simply duped, I'm not surprised.

The GOP have gone out of their way to look stupid.

President Obama ought to write them a thank you letter, this is better than a Christmas present from them.

If the economy continues to recover, I don't see why he wouldn't get reelected.

If he gets congress to work on reducing the deficit, he'll definitely be reelected.

Barring any major scandal of course.
