   Obama is slightly ahead of Romney in the 2012 presidential election polls, and he's WAY ahead of Palin.

      it's amazing that people on the right "CANNOT HEAR OR BELIEVE THE TRUTH" if you told them maybe that the lord told you that obamas polls were higher then they would believe you. they live in a fictional world based on boogey men and fairy tales and paranoia. everytime we go and rob a country they say it's for GOD and FREEDOM.No it was for bush cheney and HUNT OIL. talking with and explaining something to a right winger is futile because they will suddenly get scared from one of their imagined monsters, grab a m-16 and start killing people . . .  "for GOD and FREEDOM"

            correct it's just another misinformed vision from someone on the right. here is a conversation with someone on the right.
            winger says: so what is your name
            bob says: it's bob
            winger says:see i told you it wasn't bob
            so then bob says"IT'S BOB"
            winger says: get the guns cuz sumthin' ain't right i told ya  it's a conspiracy cuz his name ain't bob.
                and they appear never to learn. confusion runs rampant with them. republicans raided iraq for god and liberty on borrowed money and not paid for yet, they believed that. we improve HEALTHCARE and help to cut the huge deficit with it(proposed by the Republicans and romney put it in his state) and to them thats bad. this has become laughable

   Wow!  480 Hubs, Habee?  I hadn't noticed for a while; you've been WRITING!!  Good for you!
   
   And since I'm pretty sure you're not a recent Obama Zombie convert, I'm also pretty sure you found some real polls that show those results.
   
   Be interesting to see how those polls look after R.I.P.  Uh, that's code for the November elections, when we "Retire Imperial Pelosi".
   
   Got me curious, though.  Just Googled "Obama Palin Poll" and came first and foremost to an AOL article citing a PPP (Public Policy Polling) poll which parallels what you mention here, Habee.  Not saying that's the one (or one of several) you spotted, but if so, a quick Wiki look indicates it's affiliated with the Democratic Party and that it's neutrality has been questioned more than once.
   
   Which doesn't necessarily mean their polls are entirely off base. 
   
   Time will tell!

      Well, Habee, I wouldn't go so far as saying I hate Obama, hate being such a wasteful emotion and all, but I surely do oppose everything he stands for--except his relationship with his wife and daughters; that looks A+.
      
      And since I'm promoting Sarah Palin for 2012, and she wouldn't be what you'd call a moderate exactly, I guess it's up to me.  Let's see,  if I can write 100 hubs a day x the next 700 days = 70,000 hubs and get 1,000 views per day per hub = 70,000,000 daily views for Sarah x at least the last 100 days of the Presidential campaign = 7,000,000,000 views total x a converted-voter ration of 1% = 70,000,000 more votes for Sarah...she'll be a shoo-in.
      
      Yup.  Piece of cake.

       There's a long ways to go before the 2012 election.  Romney is gifted at talking out both sides of his mouth, but he'll have a hard time running against the federal version of his own health care plan. But I agree he would be the stronger candidate (vs Palin) against Obama. The evangelical bias against Mormons will prevent Romney from getting the nod - and that fact will pit Palin against Obama in 2012.
