This is fantasy. Paul would lose badly in the primary, let alone in the general.
There’s no fantasy there at all. IF Ron Paul got the nomination, that’s how it would go.
It’s not a poll on whether or not Ron Paul would win the nomination.
You could probably put Jim Gilmore (just to pull a name out of the hat) up there vs Obama and the numbers would probably come out pretty much the same. When Rasmussen has Obama with over 40% strongly disapprove, he’s not going to be getting big numbers against any Republican.
