Poll: Ex-Obama Voters Like Romney
http://www.newsmax.com ^ | Friday, 16 Jul 2010 09:52 AM | By: Dan Weil

A new poll from Public Policy Polling shows President Obama trailing Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich in support for the 2012 presidential election.

Ex-Massachusetts Gov. Romney leads by 46 to 43 percent, ex-Arkansas Gov. Huckabee by 47 to 45 percent and ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 46 to 45 percent.

Obama is tied with ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at 46 percent. The only potential Republican candidate he leads is lesser-known Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, 44 to 36 percent.

The president’s numbers are the worst ever in Public Policy Polling’s monthly survey.

But the poll respondents didn’t express much enthusiasm for the potential Republican candidates either. Of the five contenders, only Huckabee has more people who view him favorably than unfavorably -- 37 percent to 28 percent.

Romney received a favorable rating from 32 percent of respondents and an unfavorable rating from 33 percent. For Gingrich, the margin was 32 to 42 percent, for Palin it was 37 to 52 percent and for Brewer 17 to 20 percent.

Still, Republicans enjoy a strong advantage over Obama among independent voters. Those respondents favored Romney over the president by 48 to 35 percent, Gingrich by 50 to 39 percent, Huckabee by 46 to 40 percent, Palin by 47 to 42 percent and even Brewer by 38 to 37 percent.

"Simple solution. Romney should challenge Obama in the Democrat primaries."

Best solution. I completely agree. If Romney runs on the GOP, he will only be wasting time and money.

Yes, when LBJ didn’t work out, liberals turned to “Clean Gene” McCarthy, then RFK, then HHH, and when Nixon won, he co-opted the Demos and expanded the federal bureaucracy. They win no matter what.

It’s a story about people from Never, Neverland. Never to pull their heads out of their asses ever. Should be a law that people that walk around with their heads up and locked cannot register much less vote.

Easily recognizable. No profiling necessary.

“The ghetto weasel obuma has:

1) the fat welfare momma division

2) The pants-wetting college moron brigade

3) the 60 IQ inner city battalion who can’t hold a glock straight

4) The secret service traitors”

Sarge, I like your way of organizing the subject matter, lol.

Well, it’s not my first effort in calling out that chickensh*t obuma.

I’ve sent out numerous missives to meet that bastard obuma in a parking lot, anywhere, anytime. He won’t do it.

Thank you for your post.

Anyways this is a good case for Romney ‘12-many ‘08 Obama voters have had it with Obama and would prefer a man like Mitt Romney in the White House rather than more divisive candidates.

Oh yes. And Romney voters are stuck on idiocy and mormon joe smith doctrine. So very sad.

Probably ‘cause he keeps soiling his big boy pants. Think Sarah’s FB posts make him require a change, too.

Stinky Barry.

I voted for Mitt Romney in the 2008 Tennessee Primary. I voted for McCain in the election because he was the nominee. Mitt Romney would have been better then the arrogant pos we have now. I hope you are proud of yourself.

That's not much of an endorsement. Almost anybody would be better. The turtle that lives in my creek would be better.

Romney's father born in MX? I think poster forgot the /s tag.

His father was born in Mexico, but he was an American citizen when Mitt was born -- and possibly since birth. The point is that both parents were U.S. citizens when Mitt was born in this country and that's all that's necessary.

Huckabee and Romney could gum up the works again in the 2012 primaries. I hope this time we rally around the most conserative candidate in the field starting in Iowa and these knuckleheads will sent out to pasture.

Could it be ? that in the last election the Mit Obots didn’t get their way because their guy didn’t get the GOP nomination and went and voted for Obama.

Rominey can’t win without the bible thumpers. Palin third part and 1994 redux.

“Romney can’t win without the bible thumpers. “

yes, and a ‘bible thumper’-approved candidate cant win in the gen’l without those defecting O-bot voters who see the failures of Obamunism but are not keen on social conservative agenda.

Whoever the GOP picks ... United we stand, divided we fall.

Barry Goldwater said that if the GOP ever became a religious organization then you could kiss politics goodbye. Well, that is what the GOP has become and he was right.

It is possible that he said this, I guess, but google has only two references to it. One in a blog thread about Texas politikcs, and you here. I will have to consider it ‘unverified’.
