Rasmussen: Romney leads Obama, Huckabee even, in early 2012 survey (Palin tanking)
Wash Examiner ^ | 2/6/11 | Mark Tapscott

Posted on 02/06/2011 5:38:03 PM PST by pissant

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads President Obama by two points, 44-42 percent, in the latest Rasmussen Reports national survey of voter preference for the 2012 presidential campaign. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is in a dead heat with Obama, with both drawing 43 percent.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin trails Obama by 11 points, while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is behind the Democratic incumbent by eight and Rep. Ron Paul, R-TX, by nine points.

As he should, Scott Rasmussen offers some important qualifiers about these results: "Seven lesser-known candidates trail by anywhere from 10 to 17 percentage points." Rasmussen added that:

"However, the most significant finding is that regardless of what GOP candidate is named, the president earns between 42% and 49%. This suggests the campaign is starting off in a fairly competitive environment, though much can change in the next year-and-a-half.

Soon we’ll be seeing polls claiming that 99.2% of people have forgotten who Sarah Palin is, and the remaining 0.08% know who she is, but don’t like her.

Ever feel like the entire media is a propaganda tool for the RAT (read: communist) party? Me, too.

I’m wondering if Romney is buying off all these “polls”...He seems to lead in just about every BS poll that is put out. Just like media types to make the Poll the story....The election is too far out to tell...But PLEASE GOD...NO Romney/Huckabee!!!!! DeMint/Palin 2012

Rasmussen is a Pro-Democrat polling operation owned by the Democrat party...oh wait, that's PPP.

Let me guess, Rasmussen is an evil RINO now?

Though I wish it were otherwise, this poll seems just about right to me.

I don’t think he’s exactly in bed with any libs, but I can’t help but notice that as soon as the Obama admin started complaining about Rasmussen’s polls, he started showing much higher numbers. Might just be a coincidence, of course.

Just watch - before the night is out, we will have at least one dozen Palinstinians on here accusing Scott Rasmussen of being 0bama’s homosexual lover.
