In a different take on President Obama's 100-day ratings, Public Policy Polling found Obama's job approval ratings lower than in a Pew Research poll released today, but decided to take things a step further (actually four years further) and match him against potential GOP opponents in 2012. And by that measure, he's doing a lot better than potential Republican contenders.
Obama leads Newt Gingrich 52 percent to 39 percent with 9 percent undecided; Mike Huckabee by 49 percent to 42 percent with 9 percent undecided; Sarah Palin by 53 percent to 41 percent with 6 percent undecided and Mitt Romney by 50 percent to 39 percent with 11 percent undecided.
Fifty-three percent approve of the job Obama is doing, two points down from last month, compared to 41 percent who disapprove. Eighty-two percent of Democrats approve of his performance as do 54 percent of independents, while only 18 percent of Republicans share that view.
For the Republicans, Romney and Huckabee have positive favorability ratings while those for Palin and Gingrich are negative. Romney's favorable-to-unfavorable ratio is 40 percent to 35 percent with 24 percent undecided; Huckabee's is 42 percent to 34 percent with 24 percent undecided; Palin is viewed unfavorably by 49 percent and favorably by 42 percent with 9 percent undecided; and, Gingrich is viewed unfavorably by 44 percet and favorably by 36 percent with 20 percent undecided.

This poll is obscene in it's utter irrelevance and uselessness.
