Do you think President Obama has a better chance of reelection than the polls indicate?

I think the economy is going to be a big deal come November and that could go either way. The conservative right is doing all they can to pin the blame for everything on Obama and mobilize anti-Obama voters and there is enough of a mob mentality out there to do it if the left and Obama supporters don't mount an effective campaign against the right. At this juncture mobilizing the left and getting the swing voters on Obama's side in enough numbers to get him a second term looks almost iffy.

So I don't think the Democrats can be overconfident by any stretch of the imagination. Neither do I believe that giving Romney the Oval Office and/or the Tea Party more power is in our best interests.

Basically, the U.S. is still in a tough spot and as long as partisan scorched earth politics prevails we aren't going to get things turned around. I have reached the point of feeling that political leadership and party loyalists who persist in gaining and maintaining power at any cost don't deserve the privilege of citizenship.

All polls I see have him winning re-election by the electoral college. The popular vote does not mean a thing as seen in the 2000 election. Obama has slim leads in some states and Romney leads in some states by 20%. The popular vote is probably close but when you look at the real way a president is chosen, all of them have Obama winning if the election were held today (which it is not).

The polls I have seen suggest Obama is sure to win. The Tea Tards think that if they say something reflective of all their bigotry that it will come true.They want the black man out the door. It will be Obama in a landslide. Mark my words.

I agree, Its looking good for Obama and the democratic party this election. Im personally voting for Obama

No, worse, for two reasons, first a lot of the polls are constructed by the Libs to favor Obama and he still isn't doing that well and second, a lot of whites don't want the poll takers to think they are racist so they say they are going to vote for Obama even if they are not.

No. He's gone.

Obamacare is unconstitutional.

Employment is still dropping, there are just less people getting unemployment benefits and gave up looking for work.

In fact, do you have proof to back up ANY of the claims you just made? Because I really don't see bumbling Barry the buffoon having a chance in getting reelected.

Your post's seven talking points (since they are false) does not make obama's chances better than the polls indicate, but the 4 % margin of fraud by demcocrats will certainly help.

Make all the assumptions you want, it is the economy that wins and loses the presidency and obama cannot pull it out of the doldrums by more spending and the country realizes this

I think it's a long time until November. lots can happen between now and then.

OK...you are making presumptions that could prove to be completely false (Romney in the debates, the ruling on health care mandate)

Employment is NOT improving. We have the LOWEST amount of people in the workforce since the Depression.

This president has presided over a $5 Trillion national debt increase in less than four years, after he called President Bush's $4 Trillion of accrued debt over eight years "unpatriotic." He's institutionalized trillion-dollar deficits after pledging to cut that number in half by the end of his first term. And his own administration admits he has no solutions to reduce our long-term debt, evidenced by his 2013 budget that literally never balances.

Obama's unemployment rate has been above eight percent for 39 straight months. Our national credit rating was downgraded on his watch. Our national debt stands at $16 Trillion and counting. Our labor force participation rate is at a 30 year low, as poverty is on the rise and the median household income has fallen sharply. GDP growth is slowing. Three million homes have been foreclosed on since 2008. But we're supposed to be frightened by Romney, or something.

Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was supposed to jump-start the economy and keep unemployment below 8 percent, clearly failed. Unemployment topped 10 percent after the stimulus became law and has remained above 8 percent since.

Obama economic policy did not help those who were worst off, failed to revive the economy, sank the U.S. more steeply in debt, and rewarded Obama's friends and supporters. By all means, let's focus on it.

More than 46 million Americans – about 1 out of every 7 people - now rely on food stamps – a 32% increase in the number of recipients just since the recession supposedly ended in June 2009. (See chart below) However, because of mandated increases in benefits that were part of Obama's Stimulus, higher food costs, and more recipients, total federal spending on the food stamp program has more than doubled in four years; from $39 billion in 2008 to $81 billion this year.

Really...I could go on and on and on...
