And perhaps most importantly,
53% of independents plan to vote against the president while only 28% are prepared to support him.
Additionally, most voters think the GOP can win in 2012.
52% think the Republican candidate will defeat the president whilst only 38% think Obama will win.
A significant number of Democrats are also pessimistic about the president’s re-election chances as well.
31% of Democrats think the GOP nominee will win next year.

Palin Emails: 14 of the Juiciest Bits from the Trove – The Daily Beast
www.thedailybeast.com6/13/11
The state of Alaska has released 24199 printed pages of emails from Sarah Palin's tenure as governor, ranging from her 2006 inauguration to the 2008 presidential campaign. And for the most part, the media and the public …

It is most “interesting” that he quotes Sarah Palin (regarding her own emails released in Alaska) to endorse the idea that FOI released emails must not be read “out of context” — because any thinking person should then notice …
Have you noticed how much the left-wing media are downplaying Palin’s emails after going into a feeding frenzy just last week?
This ABC News video will give you a pretty good idea of their predicament.
"The emails show a very engaged Governor Sarah Palin being the CEO of her state. Everyone should read them!". A Palin Aide
The NYT, The Guardian, Mother Jones and others who were frothing at the mouth to get their hands on the emails are really embarrassed now, because they did Palin a big favor and will doubtless increase her popularity.
Mother Jones requested Palin’s gubernatorial emails during the 2008 election:
"Almost three years later, the wait is over".
The Guardian
"Like any other research materials, the emails provide depth and detail more than they make truly shocking revelations – although the extent of Palin’s efforts to build ties with BP, revealed today by the Observer, are among several aspects of her governorship which merit further scrutiny".
LA Times
"The messages include many adoring missives from supporters around the country who, even before she joined the 2008 presidential ticket, saw her as a rising star".
Charles Mahtesian, national politics editor for Politico, said he was sympathetic to critics who said the news media went into unnecessary overdrive on anything Palin-related.
“I think there’s some truth in what the critics on the right say about a double standard for Sarah Palin", he said. “Having said that, she is an incredibly compelling character. And anything she says or does will have a bearing on the 2012 presidential election cycle. So it’s a pretty easy call as a news story".

‘Journalism’: The New York Times and Washington Post have asked their readers’ help in scouring 24,000 emails from Sarah Palin’s governorship, released Friday. They hate her — really hate her.
Imagine a newspaper in 2008 asking readers’ help in perusing Barack Obama’s emails as U.S. senator and Illinois state senator. Or for that matter, help in unearthing his college records. The howls from "mainstream" journalists and Democratic politicians would have been deafening.
A charismatic female leader and mother who is conservative across the board — whose opposition to abortion is backed up by the presence of a special-needs son — spells trouble for the social revolution unleashed in the ’60s.
And what monumental disclosures came in the first hours after the emails’ release? The daughter of the former Alaska governor wanted her mother to pull a state lawmaker’s hair, Palin refers to journalists as the "lame-stream" media and the 2008 GOP vice-presidential nominee wanted a tanning bed.
If lame-stream reporters subjected President Obama to similar probing, we’d bet Americans would find the results a lot more unsettling.
What has so far been found in the emails?
Palin really cared about Alaska and worked endlessly to do her best for it citizens.
She stood up to the big guys to get things done for Alaska.
And she rightfully chastised the MSM.
And we only found out about all that because of the left-wing media’s insistence.
I can well imagine Palin calling the NYT, The Guardian, Mother Jones and other like minded Palin fearers and saying, "Thank you for setting the record straight and for helping raise my popularity".
