All presidents see a surge after state of the union. It's temporary.

At this point, Obama is beating "unnamed Republican candidate" in most polls. This bodes well for Obama, as support for "unnamed candidate of party X" goes down once the candidate is named, and his/her warts revealed.

Since President Obama's party took a self-acknowledged "shellacking" in the November congressional elections, the Democrat has increased his lead over four 2012 Republican White House frontrunners, a new polls shows.
Results of a Public Policy Poll survey released Thursday shows Obama with a 5-percentage point lead over Mitt Romney — 48 percent to 43 percent — compared with a 1-point advantage over the former Massachusetts governor in a PPP survey taken after the Nov. 2 elections.
Obama would defeat Newt Gingrich by 12 points (51 percent to 39 percent) — double his November lead over the former House speaker — would beat former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee by 5 points (49-44), compared with 3 points two months ago, and would top former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by 17 points (55-38), an 8-point improvement.
The PPP poll also says Obama also trounce GOP "wild-card" Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who has been rumored to be considering a White House bid, by 18 percentage points.
A majority of Americans — 51 percent (including 56 percents of independent voters) — say the GOP would be better off with a current unknown as their nominee, the poll shows. But 47 percent of Republican voters say they are satisfied with this crop, compared with 35 percent disapproval.
"Barack Obama is in his strongest position for re-election in our polling since 2009," said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling. "Democrats have really rallied around him since the party's defeat in November and he continues to benefit from a pretty weak field of potential opponents."
The Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling conducted the national survey Jan. 14-16. The poll's margin of error is 3.9 percent.

The persistently high unemployment rate is a bigger threat to the reelection chances of Obama than any GOP nominee could be and so far he's shown the voters no ability he can get that under control.Originally posted by Guynemer View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

Why didn't you include cooperating with the Republican House to extend the Bush tax cuts?Originally posted by gribbler View PostComment

That's a good point, extending them for a couple more years is basically another stimulus. Although hopefully they'll be allowed to expire in a couple years so the deficit can get under control.Originally posted by Tupac Shakur View PostComment

When things stay the same, that's not a stimulus. Actually, if you look at the definition of the word "stimulus", it's the opposite.Originally posted by gribbler View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

If a stimulus remains a stimulus then has it ceased to be a stimulus even if it has stayed the same and even if it continues to stimulate?Comment
