The anti-incumbent vote almost always swings to the challenger.
"It seems that undecided voters are not literally undecided, not straddling the fence unable to make a choice – the traditional interpretation. An early decision to vote for the incumbent is easier because voters know incumbents best. It helps to think of undecided voters as undecided about the incumbent, as voters who question the incumbent’s performance in office. Most or all voters having trouble with this decision appear to end up deciding against the incumbent."
So the group people who always votes against the person in office, no matter what good or bad that person has done, will vote against Obama. Thank you captain obvious. If it is news to anyone the group of people that name themselves how they will vote is voting the same way, maybe it's time for a neuropsych evaluation.
Wouldn't that already be factored into the votes already since you say it happens every year, by the same people, without fail?
What I wonder is if the people who assure everyone around them Obama will lose will stop making predictions if they are proven wrong.
So far it hasn't stopped the birthers predicting they would oust Obama with some big seeeeeeeeeeeecret.

Unless the 99% are satisfied with having the 1% continue to run the GOP (and therefore their country), they will be turning out -- now worries there. I suspect this summer will be a summer of demonstrations illustrating just how much the 1% have done for US, and it shouldn't be tough to see who's in it for the everyday person.
Either way, when Obama has to defend his record it will all change. He'll "ummmm", "ahhhhh" through the debates and look like an illiterate.
When Obama is running circles around Etch-A-Sketch Romney and his pre-programmed talking points, I don't think the word "illiterate" will come to peoples' minds.

"Pre-programmed"...right. Who is it that needs a teleprompter to talk to 3rd graders?
The truth is that 2.4% advantage Bummer presently has will likely disappear when the campaign begins.
His record is one of obvious incompetence and consistent failure.
