(Reuters) - President Barack Obama retains a big lead over possible Republican rivals in the presidential election despite anxiety about the economy and the country's future, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday.

Obama's approval rating inched up 1 percentage point from May to 50 percent but the number of Americans who believe the country is on the wrong track also rose as pricier gasoline, persistently high unemployment and a weak housing market chipped away at public confidence.

Obama leads all potential Republican challengers by double-digit margins. He is ahead of his closest Republican rival, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, by 13 percentage points -- 51 percent to 38 percent.

...

The poll, conducted Friday through Monday, surveyed 1,132 adults nationwide by telephone, including 948 registered voters. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

ABC/Post was too Romney-friendly, this poll is too Obama-friendly.

Looks like Quinnipiac got it right.

Or they could all be wrong.

The average of the three is 48-43 Obama over Romney.

Still, I think Washington Post is an outlier.

I side with the ABC/Washington Post.

Ofcourse you do - you have a negative view of Obama and will therefore side with a poll that shows a negative view of Obama.

I don't have a negative view of Pres. Obama, I disagree with his policies.
