“In a potential Election 2012 matchup, the president posts a 47% to 43% lead over former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. If former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum is the Republican nominee, the president leads 47% to 41%.”
Considering how many wrong decisions Pres. Obama has made, I’m amazed at this. The media is waiting for this primary to be over so they can REALLY attack the nominee.
A poll like this is the result of cheery picking the respondents. Use “adults” or “ registered voters” rather than likely or certain voters and the Left scores a bigger percentage. Then a 1000 respondents is only about 20 per state and can be manipulated by carefully selecting the area codes called.
A lead within or barely outside the margin of error after Republicans have been gutting each other will disappear when the attacks on Urkel start in earnest.
Santorum can definitely beat the Commie if he does not hold back.
