Obama Crushes Perry In New Poll
The Business Insider ^ | 10/12/11 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 10/12/2011 3:35:02 PM PDT by perfect_rovian_storm

A new Rasmussen poll is pouring salt on Texas Gov. Rick Perry's wounds.

The struggling one-time front-runner is now trailing President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup 49 percent to 35 percent. Obama was leading Perry six or fewer points in two recent Rasmussen polls — and Perry narrowly polled ahead of Obama in early September.

Perry would fare worse than businessman Herman Cain, who in a poll last week trailed Obama 42 percent to 39 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney polls even with Obama — the best of the Republican presidential candidates.

Not surprising... I get the impression from many Freepers’ posts that they’d rather have Romney as president, or even see Obama re-elected, over Perry.

Perplexing.

And sickening.

Who did they poll? Occupy Wall Street? Occupy LA?

He has been weighed, measured and found wanting.

How about we stop with the BS and stop trying to put up a false choice between lousy Rick Perry and rotten to the core Slick Willard?

49 percent? No way Obama polls 49 percent, even among “all adults,” let alone “registered voters” or “likely voters.” Not even against a can of deviled ham.

Tells you a lot about the Business Insider source.

Not true, but I could understand the sentiment after Arnold or either Bush.

Of course. That’s where Rasmussen always polls, right?

I am fully and completely on the Cain Train.

I would prefer Perry over Romney.

I would prefer any GOP candidate over Obama.

Yes, any.

I agree. Polls are now “mind bending tools”.

He has been weighed, measured, and found the only one willing to go after Romney.

The problem with any national poll in a state-by-state electoral system is that they are meaningless even the day before the election, but they are exponentially more meaningless a year before any election and any campaign.

That also applies to any other Republican candidate against Obama.

How bout you stop posting obviously bogus polls? Rick Perry is the only candidate willing to go after Romney. He is the only viable option. Tear him down if you insist, but he’ll be the nominee.

“Polls are now “mind bending tools”.”

Only when your preffered candidate is doing badly in it.
