Salon.com is raising the idea of a Democratic primary challenge for Obama. Reasons cited include his low approval rating, his even lower approval rating on economic issues, his loss of support among reliably-Democratic groups such as unions and youth, the decline in Democratic party affiliation since his election, market drops when the President speaks, his departure from the ideas of the Democratic base, and the fact that almost one-third of Democrats want a challenger. It would certainly be a difficult task to challenge a sitting President, but given recent polls, it might be possible to do it and win.
