WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--President Carter would easily defeat either former Gov. Ronald Reagan of California or former President Gerald R. Ford if the election were held today, according to the Gallup Poll.

Just a reminder to those who say Obama is unbeatable or so and so can't beat Obama or so and so is more electable or so and o will destroy the party or so and so has no chance.
Everyone has a chance.
They’ll be saying the same thing about Gov. Palin in Dec. 2010.
Of course, here’s the final result of that polling:

The NYT should give out free Zig-Zag rolling papers with every copy. Only then would any news they print make sense to it’s readers.
Yes. Too bad there is no Governor Reagan on the horizon.
Hopefully, it won’t be too late for America when Sarah is sworn in as President in January, 2013 and begins her clean-up of MAO-bama’s socialism including stopping his govt health care takeover.
Actually there is as those who pay attention, rather then let the Junk Media tell them what to think, knows.

The clear choice:
We’re doomed !
I think Obama and Palin have about the same approval ratings if I’m not mistaken - high 40s. However, Sarah’s has improved from high 30s while Zero’s has plummeted from high 60s.
I don’t know if anyone here has it; I’m not sure where I read it. meh
Within the last few months, I could swear I saw a poll of the 1979 Republican Primary, in which Bob Dole was shown leading by a bunch, and Reagan had 9 percent of the vote. I wanna say it was taken in February of that year, maybe? In any event, Reagan was in dead last place.
If I could remember who did the poll, I prolly could find it.
There is someone I know who needs to see it. :)
Thanks for posting that election night video.
I’m not just referring to her. More about how polls this far out are useless. Too much can happen. Just how we should never look at a poll 2 or 3 yrs out and use it to say that someone is unelectable or can’t win.
2012 will be all about Obama. Either he’ll win, or he’ll be unpopular enough due to a bad economy/afghanistan/deficit/jobs/health care etc... that anyone will beat him. It won’t matter who the GOP nominee is.
But next time someone says “X is unelectable” or “The dems are licking their chops to run against X” or “X is their dream opponent”, just remember this.
Let’s see where things stand in Dec. 2010 after the mid term elections.
Wally Cronkite looked more stunned than when he was reporting on JFK’s assassination - just dumbfounded, stumbling for words. I was an undergraduate during the time of Carter’s wayward term and I would have thought that by this time in 1979 the polls had already turned south for him. I know there was a very heavy sense of Carter’s failure and a palpable desire, expressed even by those who rarely opined on politics, that he simply had to go.
The spin by the media wasn’t that Carter’s economy tanked him, but the Iran crisis.
In my book, that would have been enough!
I think I may have spotted why Carter would beat both Reagan and Ford if the election were held today. Apparently he’s still alive.
That’s quite an assumption!
:)
Who’d you have in mind? I’m not up for the draft avoiders, the hockey player or as much as I like her, Alaska’s former Governor.
The NYT should print their paper on hemp and include kits to grow your own paper. That would help their sales.
