Fair enough, though the poll didn't ask how they rate Obama compared to the Republican candidates. Not being Obama won't be enough; whoever wins the GOP nomination, be it Sarah Palin or Mitt Romney or Herman Cain or whoever, will need to convince the electorate that they'd be better than Obama.
As bad as Jimmy Carter was, Ronald Reagan still had to convince the electorate that he'd be better. Ditto for Bill Clinton when running against Bush I. And I imagine some of the 50.7% of the electorate that voted to re-elected Bush II in 2004 weren't eager to vote for him again, but did so anyway because they thought John Kerry would be no better.
