Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds Obama with 42% support and Paul with 41% of the vote. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Either way America looses.
Flash to Drudge Apirl Fool was days ago!
Rasmussen today is even more troubling
I do not believe this poll.
American's are dumber than we thought...
Hand it to the Paulbots. They know how to make a poll absolutely meaningless.
Too bad Ron Paul will only get 1-2% of the GOP vote for the nomination.
The "info" is all over the web. This has been in the works for a long time.
But apparently not in the WSJ/Open Borders/Juan McCain/We Hate Americans crowd.
Otherwise known as the Obama administration.
I’ll vote for a Democrat EASTER BUNNY before I’d vote for EITHER ONE of those two Monsters.
You are kidding? Paul is for smaller government in a bigger way than any other candidate. I think it is very heartening that people want radical change like Paul represents. If he were electible I’d work hard for him.
Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.
Every post so far has been negative towards Paul. No one ever posts facts as to what it is that makes them so dismissive towards Paul.
From an economic standpoint Paul has a lot of good things to say which need saying. It's his foriegn policy positions that turn me (and many conservatives) off.
And why are we even looking at polls two and a half years out?
Others have Palin or Romney beating Obie.
I don't take any of them seriously. I'm sure as heck not going to take some Ron Paulbot bong-induced fantasy seriously.
Both are Anti-Jew, Pro-Islamist Morons.
This is not a self-selected poll. It’s an automated random telephone poll.
I think what this shows is that there are a lot of people who don’t know much about Paul, but have vaguely positive feelings about him, in part because they perceive him to be outside the establishment.
One of the problems the GOP has right now is that people have clearly had enough of Obama, but they don’t want what the GOP has offered in recent years, either.
Two sides of the same coin.
I do appreciate his love for Constitutionality though
But i wont be voting for him
Ryan / Bachman '12
