New Poll Places Obama Against GOP Opponents

 For those wondering what the 2012 race may look like, we have an early snapshot. Now, it is too early to get anything too accurate, but of course, it's still interesting to look. We've been looking at some polls over the last several months to chart the President's re-election prospects.

Today we have a poll from Public Policy Polling, which usually biases towards Democratic candidates. The PPP polling shows us some interesting answers to their questions:

Vote for President

Obama (D): 48%
Huckabee (R): 43%

Obama (D): 47%
Romney (R): 41%

Obama (D): 54%
Palin (R): 36%

Obama (D): 52%
Gingrich (R): 38%

Some notes about the polls:

These results are a bit different than others published recently. A Rasmussen poll published this week shows Obama and Huckabee tied, Romney down by five, and Palin down by ten.

Secondly, this poll did not include Donald Trump. With Trump surging in the polls, it would be interesting to see where he stood against Obama, even at this early stage. With Trump potentially announcing his bid in May, it would be nice to see some numbers.
