"Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann leads in Texas, 47 percent to Obama’s 44 percent."


While I take any poll that has Obama beating Perry in Texas with a grain of salt, I found this interesting. One of the raps against Bachmann is that she is not electable.

With a margin of error of 3.5%, all those GOP candidates or potential candidates named are tied or beating him!!

She isn’t, which makes this poll one of most laughable yet of all the crap being pushed around lately.

I kind of like these polls, because they really do measure electability from candidate to candidate pretty well.
It doesn’t really measure Obama vs Republican Candidate with any specificity. The sample could be way off.
But it does answer “which is best against Obama”.

Here
Romney over Obama by 8
Paul over Obama by 5
Bachmann over Obama by 3
Pawlenty over Obama by 1
Obama over Palin by 2
Obama over Perry by 2

Romney | 3 | Paul | 2 | Bachmann | 2 | Pawlenty | 3 | Palin/Perry

most electable to least electable left to right.

PPP surveyed 795 Texas voters from June 25th to 27th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-3.5%.

It says "voters" but not "likely voters."

It's PPP, a Democrat polling firm meaning it tells us more about who they want to run against than what would-be voters think.

Hard to imagine Obama taking Texas even if the GOP ran a flake.

How does Texas, which voted McCain in 2008, vote for Obama in 2012 now that Obama has an abysmal record to defend?
