"A CNN/ORC International Poll out Tuesday indicates the president's margins have increased against five possible Republican presidential challengers in hypothetical general election matchups and that Obama's approval rating is up five points since mid-November.

According to the poll, Obama leads former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 52%-45% in a possible 2012 showdown. Romney, who's making his second bid for the GOP nomination, held a 51%-47% margin over the president in last month's survey. Obama also holds the same 52%-45% advantage over Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. Last month the president had a 51%-47% margin over Paul, who's making his third run for the White House. The survey indicates that Newt Gingrich doesn't fare as well against the president in a possible general election matchup, with Obama up by 16 points, 56% to 40%.

Enough with the polls, the only one that really matters is the one on election day. The rest are inconsequential and are nothing more than chest thumping.

I'm glad it was posted because I get sick of conservatives thinking that the rest of the world feels they are right. When they post my dog or jeffrey dahmer or sock puppet could beat Obama they really believe that everyone hates Obama. They need to see how the Country and the world feels about their Obama hate machine that has been running non stop since he announced his candidacy.

The people who make comments like that are out of the mainstream of society. Most of the conservatives /republicans I know don't make absurd comments like that, unless it's a joke.

Of course, any poll showing Obama doing well means nothing.

I post polls only to counter the numerous polls posted infering out horrible the President is doing. Of course the actual vote is what matters but a poll gives us the best snapshot in time as to where the voters stand.

Couldn't agree more. Things in the country are improving and it's as if they're upset. And oh yeah, everybody doesn't hate Obama. WHo knew?
