Gallup has a new poll showing the trouble Obama is in. He now is tied or slightly ahead of Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann and even the dreaded and sinister: Ron Paul! You read that correctly, Ron Paul is competitive with Obama. Despite these numbers one thing sticks out. Obama’s approval is at 40% in Gallup, but his re-elect numbers are in the 47-48% range.

This poll needs to be viewed with a grain of salt. We are still 13 months out till the 2012 Presidential election. Much can happen and the fact Obama is polling 7-8% more than his approval is worrisome. That said, this is not a good result for Obama.

One person who will sleep over this poll is Charles Johnson. With Ron Paul in a virtual tie with Obama, his nightmare of a Paulian regime is close to reality
