    Hard to say at this point

    But since he wont have the benefit of comparing his opponent to Bush this time reelection will be much harder than election was

    Are you asking if he'll win the general election in 2012 or win his party's nomination? As for the general election it's impossible to say, the last two Presidents we've had who failed to get a second term were Carter and George H. W. Bush. Both of these men had at one point in their respective presidencies high approval ratings but were not able to sustain that by the time the election was held. Normally the incumbent President runs unopposed in the primaries which is what I'm sure will happen when Obama runs for re-election. Carter was the last incumbent President to be seriously challenged for his party's nomination and that was 1980, I don't count David Duke or Pat Buchanan as having been seriosu challenges to bush in 1992.

    Obama will almost certainly be the Democrat nominee for President again in 2012.

    Honestly, I am originally from the south, Alabama to be exact, what I am most worried about is some backwoods ignorant redneck with a high powered rifle taking him out. I did not vote for him and i disagree with most of his political views but no one deserves that and unfortunately I think it is a very real possibility that some moron who thinks of Obama only as a N@&&%R will kill him.

    He has not even gone to the white house yet! Why are you worried about re-election that will happen in 4 years. When the time comes then we all will find out. You must be pretty stupid to think we know what will happen in the future! Stop wasting your time writing stupid questions and stop wasting our time trying to answer them. Get a life. what are you like 8 years old?

    to boot to all which you in elementary terms listed, it truly is unusual for a working canidate to win over a sitting president. i do no longer see any of the canidates giving him a no longer straight forward time the two. Gingrich had a small comeback w/ Carolina yet Romney's gonna beat him in the long-term. i think of Romney is the only one that'll have of venture against Obama, yet nonetheless...Obama is gonna win. Wasn't it Reagan that pronounced, "it truly is the financial equipment, stupid" which truly skill that folk vote in accordance to how the financial equipment is. properly, Obama has made progression w/ the financial equipment so as a effect human beings will in all likelihood vote for him.

    Not knowing where we will be, but pretty sure the deficit in 2012 will be 2 trillion $, Mitt Romney may look good to the Country.

    He has not been officially elected by the electoral college, nor has he been sworn into office.

    Why on God's green earth would you even contemplate another 4 years when the man hasn't even served his first 4?

    He hasn't been sworn in from the first election, but no, he needn't even think about running again. He was a one shot deal.
