For many of us, election night 2012 was about as depressing as life could get.   

After all, how in the world did 51% of the voters choose President Obama over Governor Romney?  I recall reading emails from friends who threaten to check out from politics.  Even a coupe of my blogger friends considered dropping politics and writing about something else. It was that depressing!

The election was actually very close election in states like Ohio, Florida, and Virginia.  Romney won more congressional districts, 222-213.

That was then and this is now.  

According to a new poll, Gov Romney would easily defeat President Obama today: 

"Americans are so down on President Obama at the moment that, if they could do the 2012 election all over again, they'd overwhelmingly back the former Massachusetts governor's bid.

That's just one finding in a brutal CNN poll, released Sunday, which shows Romney topping Obama in a re-election rematch by a whopping nine-point margin, 53 percent to 44 percent.

That's an even larger spread than CNN found in November, when a survey had Romney winning a redo 49 percent to 45 percent."  

This poll means nothing as far as 2012 is concerned.  It is just  another indication of just how toxic President Obama has become. It will also give the Romney team reasons to go for another run in 2016.
