All this talk about holding President Obama to one term. Hmm — good luck. If his numbers stay around 50 percent, and assuming even marginal improvement in the economy, Republican 2012 campaign expenditures could be money down a rathole.

But making that conversation more interesting, Quinnipiac has a new poll out today showing 49 percent of Americans don’t think Obama should get a second term, to 43 percent who say he should.
