Idiots abound, therefore I'm not sure until after the election. There are no certainties in life and with politics that holds true.

50/50

Incumbent Presidents don't lose very often, at least in modern history.

Harry Reid won last time, and that was supposed to be a landslide loss. So...pretty sure Obummer is back for 4 more.

very true. it will likely require an extraordinary effort to dislodge the incumbent.

but, look at Pres. Johnson and Pres. Carter. it has happened before, more or less.

It ALL depends on what happens with the economy in the next 9 months.

I'm sure govt. agencies and the media will be slinging numbers helpful to Barry - (ir)regardless of fact.

We all know he should be done. The problem is anytime I'm on a website (other than gun related) that allows reader comments after an article, my faith in the American public drops like a rock.

They walk among us and they vote.

Obama will fare as well as carter did.

Reagan promised a strong military

Promised a balanced budget (Newt delivered the only balanced budget in 54 years)

Cut taxes

It was a landslide.

You have to hand it to the Democrats. They don't let facts get in the way of their rhetoric.

not to overload the thread, but so long as the unemployment rate clicks downward, interest rates remain low, and the DJ continues to rise, all of that trend points to a benefit for the incumbent.

it takss away from contenders who focus on the economics, and adds to the advantage of the Statesmen, if any, who might reside with us.

if the economy falters, Katy Bar the door.

pls remember, most of us just want a job, to feed our families and pay our fair share of taxes. nothing more.

Depends entirely on who is running against him. I don't believe for a minute Romney can beat Obama. I can't stand Newt but if he is the R. candidate I think it's 50/50.

No standing President has ever been re-elect with an unemployment rate over about 7.1 % I believe it is. But if the people want four more years of this great leadership and economy you get the government you voted for.

Re: unemployment #'s - flawed - skewed as they show how many are ON unemployment, while those whose benefits ran out and are not working, though qualified and trying, fall out.

True Numbers would simply count how many ppl ARE working, subtract from eligible workers.

If the Dow keeps climbing - and it gets BHO re-elected, I guess it's - sell before the dump, during the pump. Hopefully the market is climbing anticipating BHO LEAVING.

I don't think Obama will accept a defeat. We will count the "hanging chads" or whatever they dream up this time until he can show a win (if it takes 2 yrs., so be it). If that don't work, some emergency(think DOJ) will come up and the election will have to be put on hold for awhile.
