The flaw in this poll is that he loses to "unnamed" Republicans. There is another poll out ther I forget which, but it is respectable which matches Obama against named Republicans. Of all the likely nominees the only one who comes close is Mitt Romney who is 4 points behind (within margin of error). He handily beats the rest.

It is awfully early to be polling for 2012, and for the life of me I do not understand why these polls are not done in a way that shows how the electoral college is shaking out. I think Obama has real problems in states he carried in 2008 like Virginia, N. Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania to name a few.

Bottom line is a no brainer. ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID!
