The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 24% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17.
In a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, Mitt Romney earns 48% of the vote, while President Obama attracts 44%. That's Romney's biggest advantage in over a month.

“We KNOW another four years of Obama would destroy the country; however, we DON’T know that four years of Romney would. A major difference”
Sumthin’ like four more years of hell, vis-a-vis four years of purgatory ??
Few want to be in purgatory, but it beats the heck out of hell!
Now there is an atmosphere that really captures the spirit of a "free" republic. Thanks for sharing.
“As Casey Stengel said, “can’t anyone here play this game?”
Hillary is licking her chops.”
I think Hillary has had it, and won’t be in the picture in 2016. I could certainly be wrong about that.
But that begs another question:
Who’s “on deck” for the ‘rats? By that, I mean, with the Clintons gone, and Obama gone, who do the ‘rats have waiting in the wings, suitable for a presidential candidacy? Who are their “up and comers”?
“So tell us Sola, just what is your position here? You appear to be nothing so much as the Soviet Political Officer assigned to naval vessels to watch the crew and make sure there are no “revisionist thinkers” aboard. Is that your role? C’mon, you can tell us. We’re your friends.”
I have no role here on FR other than that of a poster. However, I am 100% behind Jim Robinson’s position that this is NOT a place for Romney boosters....even those taking the ABO position. BTW - I have a U.S. military background and have spent a great deal of my life fighting Soviets. You are entirely out of line to compare me to them.
Mr. Robinson has been clear. I’m just trying to see the rules are enforced. It seems that many, like yourself, can’t understand simply directives. This is “his” site. He sets the rules. IF he says, no Romney promoters....then you don’t have any grounds for posting pro-Romney posts. IF you don’t like it, go to the Dems sites...they are overjoyed that Romney is running.

BTW - It is obvious I don’t have any role other than poster. Jim Robinson is a much kinder person than myself. Like I said, I am of a military mindset, and I don’t like insubordination. When you are in “Jim’s home” you follow his rules or get kicked out. It is a no brainer. Notice none of you are being zotted. Ergo, I don’t have any influence. IF I did, you would be banished until you apologized to the forum and promised to not post pro-Romney trash. Especially things insulting to those that have taken a principled stand that we will never support Romney.
Beware the polls, they’re right on script.
Yep. After all, Romney is only 90% impure where Obama is 100%. Romney will crush him without pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-limited government conservatives selling their souls and ditching their principles. So why are the bots crying?
Karl Rove is the genius who engineered this fiasco. The GOP elephant deserves to be on that logo.
I hope RINO Romney beats socialist Obama.
But to me, it’s really a decision between a turd sandwich and a giant douche, just like that South Park episode.
That socialized-medicine Reagan-hating leftist RINO is going to have to win it without my support. I refuse to waste my vote on that turd sandwich. Or as I told my family, that liberal RINO is not worth jury duty.
You are 100% correct. I mean, Romney has only been the GOP POTUS nominee for a few days since Rick Santorum backed out of the running, and.....he has already grabbed the lead over Obama in two polls. The Santorum speech tonight to the NRA was powerful, on target, and strongly supportive of the GOP ticket from top to bottom. Actually, if Romney is smart, he will consider Santorum as his VP choice!!!
Some of the over-the-top rambling by Freepers posting on the Romney candidacy is neither dignified, nor factual and acceptable for supposed conservatives. Where is their decency??? Some of the gutter verbage used is uncalled for coming from so-called American Patriots!!! Just like in the book “Animal Farm”, at the end of the story, no one could tell the difference between the “Pigs” & the “Humans”!!! They had both morphed into the same power hungry, controlling monsters, on the left and right side of the political spectrum!!! Both were equally evil to their core!!!
I sincerely do hope Mitt Romney chooses a bonafide conservative like Santorum, Rubio, Jindal, Bachmann, etc. I believe such a team would win big time come November, 2012!!!
Wow. It’s just like in 2008. McCain was few points above Obama and it dipped down, except when Palin was named VP.
Now, it’s happening again.
They will pump up the enthusiasms of the R, and then later quench it with acidic water down the rail.
Too bad for Romney and his ilks.
McCain lost it in the debates and in the crash remember? Nothing nefarious at all.
No, we're not.
Romneybot zot.
Thanks !
This good information in assessing Romney.
“Sooner or later Obama is going to realize that reality sucks.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I realized that reality sucks about the time I realized that more than half the country was stupid enough not to recognize Bill Clinton as a con man, when I realized that the same people were too dumb to see through the Kenyan I literally became physically ill.
“Those who say Romney simply cannot defeat Hussein are badly misjudging the situation by my estimation.”

You may be right if we could have a REAL election, unfortunately I don’t expect anything approaching an honest election. Is there some reason I should expect a REAL election?
There should be maybe 4 or 5 regional primaries and a short primary season but the parties and candidates don’t want that. The media doesn’t either. They string it out so long
and as usual some states like Calif. don’t even really get a choice because it’s over by then. The idea is that candidates do a long slog of a campaign all over the country, and as time goes by a few more drop out till finally you have the last two or the last one, and there are still quite a few states left. Allowing unenrolled voters in can drag the chosen candidate to the Left
though admittedly most voters are still nominal Republicans.
(Though more to the left than you’d think, on some issues.)
I come from a state—MA—where the likes of Romney, Brown, etc. are considered “far right Rethuglicans” but enough of their social agenda allows them to be elected, in a state where it seems like 98 per cent of office holders are
far LEFT Democrats. Mass Republican: USA Dem. Mass Dem:
USA Socialist/Communist. For so long I have been hungering for ANY candidate to the right of the Commies. While other
parts of the country paint the likes of Romney and Brown
as “liberal Republicans”, compared to what we normally
get (Kennedy, Kerry, Markey, Deval Patrick, Barney Frank)
they seem conservative. They’re as close as we’re gonna
get. And the Republican candidates often come off to us on the RIght as “well, don’t really like him, but consider the alternative”.
Such as Liz Warren, running against Brown, and
Joe Kennedy III, running against Republican Sean Bielat
for Barney Frank’s old seat. (Maybe Bielat will be half
decent though.) Great, Republican has a chance to win
Barney Frank’s seat when he retires, so what do they
do? They bring out a Kennedy.
As someone said not too long ago here on FR, “What’s in the water up in Massachusetts...besides Mary Jo Kopechne?”
The numbers are NOT with Mitt

Mitt Romney must win over 60% of all remaining hard delegates to secure the GOP nomination. Surprised?
19 states still need to be heard from, and of those states 869 hard delegates are available at the state and district level (discounting the 37 total delegates available between Indiana and Arkansas, which have proportionality rules only a democrat could love). State and committee GOP delegates number about 69, which I’m throwing into my calculations as a given for Romney.
Nevertheless, Romney still needs 663 delegates to reach that magic 1144 number.
Can he do it?
Of the 11,280,792 votes cast so far, Romney has accumulated 4,595,908 or only about 41%. Typically, Romney does not garner more than an average of 44% of the vote. Santorum averaged about 25% of the vote. Even if half of Santorum’s supporters vote for Mitt, this still does not give him the necessary 60+ % to secure the GOP nomination.
