President Obama currently holds an approval rating of 43% percent, which I admittedly find rather inflated, mirrored by disapproval from half of the nation's population. A staggering 77% percent of declared democrats remain supportive of the president's efforts, which I personally perceive to be rather blindly partisan. Obama is quite simply not embracing moderate compromise to the degree in which a partisan gridlock in Congress may be alleviated, and given trending election polls his continuation in the seat may very well be in jeopardy. With an unsuccessful stimulus package prompting a stronger laissez-faire ideology among the public, the president's approval may very well experience a perpetual decline for the remainder of his current office. Following the recent Iowa debate, I find current Gallup statistics comparing support between Obama and Perry to be quite incomprehensible, but his gridlock statistics with Romney indicate a shifting public opinion, charting 47% approval between Obama and the potential, though increasingly questionable, GOP candidate. Regarding the president's reelection bid, I the eventual nomination of a GOP candidate to be incredibly influential. Being a relatively moderate liberal, my ideologies would be tested if Obama were to face either Romney or Ron Paul for reelection, especially following Paul's stellar performance in recent debates. Therefore, I find it only justified to state Obama's chances facing each legitimate, potential candidate:
Cain: 99.999%
Bachmann: 100.01%
Perry: 70%
Paul: 60% (I'm eagerly awaiting Ron's ascent into the public eye, given his being unanimously lauded across the internet community)
Gingrich: 56%
Romney: 52%
