Stunning Turn-around!

Just one year ago, Obama led Sarah Palin by 12 points in a similar match-up. Now, Palin has pulled into a tie.

Breaking from Public Policy Polling (PPP):

With his approval numbers hitting new lows it's no surprise that Barack Obama's numbers in our monthly look ahead to the 2012 Presidential race are their worst ever this month. He trails Mitt Romney 46-43, Mike Huckabee 47-45, Newt Gingrich 46-45, and is even tied with Sarah Palin at 46. The only person tested he leads is Jan Brewer, who doesn't have particularly high name recognition on the national level at this point.

PPP surveyed 5 GOP likely opponents for Obama. All, except Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer were tied or ahead of Obama. Romney did best 46 to 43%. Gingrich and Huckabee also polled slightly ahead.
