Obama in Surprisingly Good Shape?

A politically connected observer sent me some interesting new polling numbers showing that concern over Obama's re-election chances might be misplaced. A new Clarus poll roundup has Obama ahead in North Carolina and Colorado, beating all Republican challengers.

Maybe the Republican extremism will work about as well nationally, as it will in Maryland.

NORTH CAROLINA: 2012 TRIAL HEATS*
  • Obama over Romney +5
  • Obama over Perry +8
  • Obama over Bachmann +10
  • Obama over Cain +13
  • Obama over Palin +13

COLORADO: 2012 TRIAL HEATS**
  • Obama over Romney +7
  • Obama over Bachmann +12
  • Obama over Perry +13
  • Obama over Cain +16
  • Obama over Palin +16
