Barack Obama will undoubtedly get re-elected. The economy didn't recover overnight when he came into office, but he's already accomplished more in two years than Bush did in two terms. The Republicans haven't offered any solutions to fix the economy, either. Keep in mind Barack Obama will be the incumbent meaning he'll be harder to defeat than 2008. Don't be surprised if he wins by a landslide. I'm 80-percent sure this next election will be a runaway victory for the Democrats.
Also, the conservatives can't find anyone who measures up. Mike Huckabee already stated he probably won't run. That man has too many skeletons in his closet, furthermore. The guy is an right-wing evangelical Christian for one thing. Plus, he pardoned a guy who killed several people in Arkansas, and he has a son who was ousted as a Boy Scout leader for torturing puppies. Those alone are wild cards that will disqualify him from the race. Sarah Palin will be lucky if she even makes it to the primary. I'm sure she'll run to massage her Alaska-sized ego, too. Not even John McCain stood a chance playing his veteran card, so I'm positive the same is true about the other Republicans.
Barack Obama's ratings are now higher than that of either Clinton or Reagan around this time frame during their first terms. What you're also forgetting is there are more black voters than ever before. They'll probably pour into the polls more so than they did in 2008. Myriad Hispanic voters are disenchanted with the Republican Party as well. Not to mention recent college graduates like yours truly are disgusted over the way Republicans haven't done a damn thing about unemployment and even wanted to slash benefits for the 99ers. They're the ones that gave tax cuts to big businesses.
I'm hoping when Scott Walker gets recalled which I'm sure he will, our friends in Wisconsin will spark the catalyst towards something big. His being ousted will leave a bad headline for the Republicans and cost many of them their seats. I'm half-expecting the Democrats will regain control of both houses again after this whole debacle Bush got us into. Unless something terrible happens, I see no way he WILL NOT get re-elected end of story.
Way to early to say. A terrible event could befall the President, either personal/professional/or both.
He stands a good chance, but its still way to early to say he is going to win.
I am not sure where you have been, but you do know that the DOW was up nearly 100% off the March 2009 lows. Seems like a pretty big CHANGE all by itself.

You've been taking these broad, general swipes at Obama for a long time now, but the evidence has really stacked up against you by this point in terms of him guiding our country back to stability, growth, and better security.
Well he raised to cost of gasoline. As he promised he would.
He made everyone get health insurance after spending 2 years telling us health insurance people are crooks.
He raised the cost of used cars which hurts the poor.
He got us involved in a Libyian Civil War.
He got bin Laden.
He's done one good thing at least.
Barack Obama has no control over the price of gas. That's from the oil speculators. If you'd been watching the news, you'd know Eric Holder is suing them on Wall Street.
He didn't raise the cost of used cars, either. He started the cash-for-clunkers program giving people more money back for driving used cars.
We're not involved in Libya. I missed the part where he sent ground troops over there. That's a UN deal not an American war.
Yes, you're right he got Bin Laden.
You won't learn anything useful about Obama watching FAUX News or listening to Rush Limbaugh.
