I know this has been asked many times before, but now with Florida decided and Romney looking more and more like the eventual nominee I ask this question: What are his chances against Obama, at this point?

20ish? Better than the other three's, for reasons I'm somewhat at a loss to figure out. Think John Kerry at this point of 2004 and remember more went right than wrong for him over the course of spring and summer.

It's only February. There's still time for things to go wrong for Romney OR Obama. At this point, I'd place Obama's re-election chances at around 70-75%.

Perhaps 2-1 Obama. Chances of a large Obama victory remain rather slim, though.

This is pretty reasonable.  This election will (probably) not be a 2008 style blowout.

Too early to predict until after Labor Day.

I think a bit better than Kerry04.  Obama's low approvals leave a window open and if the Euro debt fiasco implodes it could pose a mirror of the Lehman moment.  but a lot of that stuff is purely hypothetical, we can't know much about its probability or consequences or etc.  between 3:2 and 2:1 Obama.

Romney might be a slight favorite if the CBO projections of unemployment popping back up to 9% by election time prove accurate.

I'd bet Romney but I wouldn't touch the spread.

They're not good.

Very low.
