President Obama says Republicans are using the gas issue to launch political attacks. “There is no silver bullet and anyone who tells you otherwise isn’t really looking for a solution. They are probably just looking to ride the political wave of the moment," he said.
The negative tone of the Republican primary battle could work to Mr. Obama’s advantage, says Quinnipiac pollster Peter Brown. “It probably helps the president that Gingrich and Romney and now Santorum and Romney have spent a lot of time buying television commercials that are unflattering about their opponents," he said.
But it is still a long way until November, says Henry Olsen of the American Enterprise Institute. “Obama is in the stage where it is plausible to think of his re-election, but it’s not certain to be guaranteeing his re-election. Obama should be feeling happy, but he should not be feeling cocky," he said.
Recent polls show Mr. Obama easily defeating Rick Santorum if he becomes the Republican nominee but a much closer race if Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate in November.
