Which is why it’s so shocking to me that Obama keeps polling better than all of our candidates. If we can’t beat this loser, how can we beat anyone?

I mean, it’s so obvious to us, but the mods/leftists see him as a “darn good guy”.

Makes me sick.

Per the latest Rasmussen poll, Obama has somehow managed to get back into positive approval - 51% approval vs. 48% disapproval. That’s why it will be difficult no matter who our nominee is.

I am not at all shocked that Obumbles is poling better than any of our candidates. It is the idea of incumbency. Reagan was behind by double digits in September of 1980 and was swept into office in a landslide with an economy that was not nearly as bad as this one or as bad for as long.

Santorum is to be congratulated. He won where Gingrich didn't contest and if one of them could take it all from Romney, we should be eternally grateful.

Either would be better than Romney and Romney would be a damn sifghjt better thanobumbles. hat being said, I think Either Gingrich or Santorum would be a damn sight better candidate and would handily beat the Obummer. where as Romney would barely win, if at all.

Re Obama polling better than all our candidates: read the internals of those polls.

I think you’ll find they polled a much larger percentage of Dems than Reps which is no longer the demographic. Worse than that, they polled adults with a smaller subset of registered voters with a very small subset of likely voters.

I’m not going to look it up again so I’m working from memory and not giving you exact numbers. You can look it up or wait for the next such poll so that you’ll see it for your self.

If you find a Rasmussen poll, you can usually trust that because he polls likely voters. Once in a while he has an outlier, but his next poll usually is back on.
