Obama 44%, Cain 38% OCT 25, 2011 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON The latest Rasmussen poll of likely voters shows that, over the past week, the gap between President Obama and Herman Cain has swung 8 points in Obama’s favor.
In a poll released shortly before the last Republican presidential debate, Rasmussen showed Cain leading Obama by 2 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup (43 to 41 percent). This week’s poll, taken after that debate and after Cain’s abortion comments late last week, shows Obama now leading by 6 points (44 to 38 percent).
Among independents, Cain was ahead by 19 points last week (48 to 29 percent), but that gap has now vanished —

“Probably just Barry’s “kill bump” from Gadhafi.”

I have not seen any kill bump, and I still have not seen what Obumbo had to do with the Gadhafi killing.
Rass still has him -22 on “strongly approve”
and as low as ever on overall approval.
Obama is weak as water.

That still scares me ... how can there be that many stupid people? Are they so blinded that even after 3 yrs they cannot see?

that’s fine.. Ronald Reagan was 20 points behind Carter just weeks before the 1980 election
Pretty much the way I see it. Good guy, no real chance to beat Hussein. Worse, as a complete political novice he is just way too likely to say stupid stuff and blow up his campaign after he's nominated.
People keep claiming it's all good because Reagan was behind. The problem is Cain is no Reagan. By 1980 Reagan was a disciplined, polished politician who already knew the ropes having already run a serious campaign once (and having been Governor of CA). Cain is too likely to spit up something dopey and implode.
Even with the State Controlled Liberal National Media arrayed against us?
This embodies true grassroots Tea Party-style progress and the glidepath upwards over the next months will tighten the race to a dead heat, then Cain will deliver an electrifying nomination speech pulling 10 points ahead, and economy that sucks and Obama tiring out the American people will keep Obama comfortably behind Cain until election day....
It is an outright battle between conservatives backing Cain and Gingrich and the Romney coalition consisting of Romney, Perry, the MSM and the Republican establishment. It will be interesting to see whether honesty, decency and conservatism wins out or whether we will have a Romney Obama election where the entire Country loses.
No one can predict the future. There are different circumstances now just like there were at the midterms. I’d say a conservative can beat 0bama soundly. My preference is Cain but I’m happy to vote for anyone but Romney.

It is quite easy to see.
Look how long the Marxist have been in charge of public education and the MSM.
Add to that the massive growth of blacks and illegal immigrants that are bussed to the polls and told what to do.
Any rules and laws concerning voting are totally ignored now.
Voting has become a “civil right”, come one, come all.
Vote now and vote often. (in the same election)and with polls staffed by the likes of the SEIU, a vast Communist thug union.
Most all societies/nations have a rise and fall.
It is a fact that most of us true Americans never considered, but America is in a massive free-fall, and it is one of the reasons that I stay offshore, unlikely to return.
Total BS....
And even if the numbers are not skewed, it still shows that Obama’s goose is cooked.
Cain’s name recognition is still hovering around 50%.
This poll means absolutely nothing.
Whoever wins the GOP nomination will be the next president.
lol...nice research on hildy!
May as well give up;)
If cain can’t win, no one can.
Cain was just up +2 against Obama on last week’s Rasmussen poll. So yeah, I don’t think this poll necessarily means anything.
The elephant in the room is economy. Election is over a year away. If economy roars back to life, Barry will unfortunately have a good chance. But there are no signs that unemployment (REAL, not gov’t figures) will get below 20% by Oct 2012. Europe is seriously heading into a recession. That is 1/3 of world’s GDP. Our FED has no bullets left, rates already near 0. Congress is highly unlikely to pass any more stimuli with borrowed money.
If you think our real-estate bubble was bad, Chinese bubble
is twice as inflated. No one knows when it will pop but it is a matter of not if, but when. Any one major economy getting in trouble will cascade down the line.

So, if my prediction on economy holds true, any GOP_ nominee wins. I hope it is Cain, but I will be OK with most others except Paul & Romney.
That's not Cain's position. Are you in the habit of lying?
Cain is doing none of us good by alienating hispanics.
If you can’t see that, you don’t know electoral politics.
Cain was for frying mexicans, then it was just a joke, then he was serious again about frying them, you just don’t say stuff like this if you want the hispanic vote.
Whoever wins the primary is guaranteed the ~48% that turned out for Sarah via McGone. But that wasn’t a good enough number, we needed the 53% number to beat zero, and we didn’t pull it out.
Whatever, I’m tired of giving Cain election advice.
how do hispanics not differentiate between legal vs illegal ?
