Obama could lose the election in 2012. See who would replace him

U.S. President Barack Obama would lose the election in 2012 if his Republican opponent would be Mitt Romney, according to a poll released Tuesday.

.

Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts (north-east), is credited with 49 percent of the votes and Obama 46 percent, the survey commissioned by the Washington Post and BBC.

Instead, Obama would defeat all other Republican candidates, the difference between the highest compared to Sarah Palin, who would get only 40 percent of the vote.

Forty-seven percent of Americans polled agree with Barack Obama's policies, while 49 percent disapprove them.

Only 40 percent of respondents agree with the way Obama handles the economic situation.

Maintaining a high rate of unemployment (9.1 percent of the population) and high budget deficit weighed heavily on the morale of Americans who believe in a ratio of 66 percent that the country is headed in the wrong direction.
