PPP Poll: Obama Leads All GOPers In Michigan, Only Romney Comes Close

[jefferson_dem]

The new Public Policy Polling (D) survey of Michigan, which saw strong Republican gains this year with a pickup of the governorship and other offices, suggests that President Obama is still the early favorite to hold the state again in 2012.

Obama previously carried Michigan by 57%-41% against John McCain in 2008.

In this poll, Obama was tested against various Republicans: He leads Newt Gingrich by 52%-37%, leads Mike Huckabee by 51%-39%, and leads Sarah Palin by 56%-36%. Only native son Mitt Romney comes close -- as the son of the late Michigan Governor and auto executive George Romney -- but Obama still leads by 47%-43%.

In addition, PPP tested Obama against the new Republican Governor-elect, businessman Rick Snyder, who won his race this past November by a landslide margin of 58%-40%. Obama also leads Snyder by 49%-38%.

"Michigan, like much of the Midwest, was tough territory for Democrats in 2010. But it looks like President Obama will once again easily win the state by regaining the favor of independents who had abandoned his party--unless Mitt Romney is his opponent," writes PPP president Dean Debnam.

4. Great news

Here Is why.The big news out of 2010 was the shackling Democrats got In the midwest besides winning governorships In Minnesotta and
Illinois.To win In 2012 Democrats must make comebacks In the Midwest.

My feeling Is pay attention to the Obama VS Palin and Obama VS Romney numbers.Palin puts Missouri In Play.Obama could win Virginia and NC again again Palin or Romney.Romney Is toughest opporent but a good ad campagin showing the flipflopping Mitt going from
Liberal to Moderate Republican to Rush Limbough backed Conservative Republican.And If In december 2010 Obama has a four point lead
over Romney then It bodes well for 2012.

Also Notice Romney Is only one who does slightly better than Mccain did In 2008.Palin,Gingrich,and Huchabee do worse than Mccain.
