Obama Polling Better Than Bush, Clinton
Pew Research notes that President Obama "currently fares as well against a generic opponent in the upcoming presidential election as George W. Bush did in April 2003, a time when Bush's job approval rating was much higher than Obama's is today. He also tests considerably better than Bill Clinton did in March 1995."

Key findings: 47% of registered voters say they would like to see Obama reelected, while 37% say they would prefer to see a Republican candidate win the 2012 election.

Aaron David Miller: "Should Obama win reelection next year, Americans would make not only his day but history as well: It would be the first time in 200 years -- since Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe -- that the United States has elected three two-term presidents in a row."
