The poll is here.

How well did the pundits do in 2004 who predicted the candidates for 2008?

Seriously, if the US economy suffers for two years then bounces back, and is improving in 2012, Obama will probably win re-election by 15-20 points, and there will be serious talk of repealing the Twenty-second Amendment.

I doubt it, although the apparent lust for President-For-Life Obama is telling. Obama might find it a little harder to maintain the halo now that he has to actually do something besides blow smoke up people's skirts. We'll see how it looks in four years.

To be honest, though, it won't all be to his credit. To his good fortune, in a twisted sort of way, he is following one of very worst Presidents in American history, and that'll make him look even better for a long time.

Worked for Reagan.
