There is a silver lining for Democrats in recent PPP polling of hypothetical 2012 matchups.

Obama trails Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich by low single digits, and is tied with Sarah Palin.

That last one must have Andrew Sullivan spinning while he waddles in his tidal pool.

Palin v. Obama may come down to how many felons Democrats can get to vote in Minnesota.

But there is good news, according to PPP.

Obama still leads Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, 44-36. But don’t get too excited, Dems, Brewer leads among independents, 38-37.

Polling message to Dems: Try to get Republicans to nominate Jan Brewer, it’s your best chance.
