That’s according to the latest Gallup poll.
When your running neck-and-neck with the crazy that is Ron Paul, you know you’re in deep trouble as the incumbent.
Gallup’s generic presidential ballot — measured six times this year — shows a close race between Obama and a generic “Republican presidential candidate,” although there have been survey-to-survey variations on this measure, with the Republican candidate leading in June and July.
President Obama’s job approval rating is hovering around the 40% mark. This is below the rating that any of the six incumbent presidents re-elected since Eisenhower has had at the time of the presidential election. However, in August of the year before they were re-elected, Ronald Reagan (43%) and Bill Clinton (46%) were both below 50%. Obama’s position of rough parity against leading GOP candidates shows that more Americans at the moment say they would vote for Obama than approve of the job he is doing — perhaps a reflection of the continuing lack of a strong front-runner on the Republican side.
Mark my words today…when the dust settles these two things will be true:
- Rick Perry will win the GOP nomination.
- Rick Perry will beat Obama by nearly double-digit points come November 2012 (if Obama even bothers to run again).

Alrighty !
I’m voting for the Box of Stale Donuts !

Whoever it is opposite numbnuts, I hope they win with the worst smackdown of a landslide in US history.
No one deserves the humiliation more than barry.
And we already know someone will be screaming for a re-count, no matter how obvious the win is.
A judge or someone will need to smack THEM down.
