As we continue the weeping and gnashing of teeth over the economy, there is a tiny ray of sunshine that keeps things in perspective. If the 2012 elections were held today, Obama would be in pretty good shape. Check out these nuggets from the breaking Marist poll:
1. Obama beats Romney: 46/41 statistically unchanged from June 46/42.
2. Obama beats Giulini 48/43 previously: 48/ 41%
3. Obama beats boring Tim Pawlenty: 49/36 up from 47/33 last time.
4. Obama beats Bachman: 52/35 up from 49/37.
5. Obama beats Rick- George- Bush Perry 52/33 up from 48/39.
6. Obama beats Sarah Palin 56/36 previously 56/35.
Even in the face of all of these difficult challenges, Obama is still preferred over every candidate the cons have to offer.
I Just thought you’d like to know.
