President Barack Obama is now leading in polls against each of the individual Republican opponents he may face on Election Day.
It's true that polls conducted 350 days before an election have very little predictive power--but they are a meaningful indicator of the public mood as the primary season lurches into gear.
Obama is leading in the equivalent of a landslide against Newt Gingrich (54.6 percent) and Herman Cain (55.1 percent). He also performs well against two other Republican challengers not shown on the chart: Rick Perry (55.0 percent), Michele Bachman (58.1 percent), Jon Huntsman (55.3 percent) and Ron Paul (53.3 percent).
