It’s official. President Obama is running for re-election in 2012.

His website is up and running and fundraising dates are in the works. But the big question is, can Obama raise the money – and regain the same support he found with his ‘Yes We Can’ campaign in 2008?

theGrio wanted to know, what do you think? Is it too early in the election cycle for the President to declare his bid? It’s a safe assumption that the shifting tides of partisan politics might affect him. Will the Republican leadership in Congress work against him in his 2012 campaign?

What do you think are some of Obama biggest accomplishments in office so far? What are some of his biggest failures?

President Obama laid out some very appealing plans and promises in his 2008 ‘Yes We Can’ campaign and some might base their vote on how far he has come through on those promises. Do you think he has he lived up to the plans he laid out in 2008?

When November 2012 comes around, what will be your final vote? Maybe it’s too early to tell and we haven’t even gotten close to the primaries, but will you be supporting Obama in his re-election effort? What will it take for him to get your vote?
