Looks like the majority of Americans are finally getting fed up with Obama... If blacks don't show up in huge numbers at the polls in 2012, who overwhelmingly voted at near 100% for Obama in 2008, it looks like this country will get a much needed change in the White House.
I would bet that the results would have been the same if the options were-

But, last polls I saw, when given a choice between Obama and any of the specific candidates out there now, Obama won.
Your candidates are simply not polling better than the President.
The thing is in cases like this the generic candidate tends to usually do better than named ones. So "Any" or "Generic" Republican may beat Obama, but the candidates running aren't "Any" or "Generic Republican", they have names, and when they are matched up in polls against Obama, well they don't do all that well....
It'll be the young voters who either won't show up or won't vote for Obama. They'll go to the rallys for the music but who wants a free t shirt when you don't have a job?

I knew this had to be a "Rasmussen" poll before I even checked the link.
Generic polls at this level reflect more discontent with the state of things than actual intent to vote for any individual. You'll find these numbers changing a lot as the circumstances become more concrete, ie: candidates and vp is chosen, positions and made clear and debated.
Everyone in the know pretty much agrees putting stock into polls at this point is misguided. As has been pointed out, this is where Clinton and Reagan were polling near the end of their first terms. Qualifying word being first.
