Obama Crushes Perry In New Poll
The Business Insider ^ | 10/12/11 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 10/12/2011 3:35:02 PM PDT by perfect_rovian_storm

A new Rasmussen poll is pouring salt on Texas Gov. Rick Perry's wounds.

The struggling one-time front-runner is now trailing President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup 49 percent to 35 percent. Obama was leading Perry six or fewer points in two recent Rasmussen polls — and Perry narrowly polled ahead of Obama in early September.

Perry would fare worse than businessman Herman Cain, who in a poll last week trailed Obama 42 percent to 39 percent. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney polls even with Obama — the best of the Republican presidential candidates.

He has been weighed, measured, and found the only one willing to go after Romney.

He's doing a rotten job of it.

Perplexing. And sickening.

Not hard to figure out. His performance since entering the race is historic in the depths of it's ineptitude.

I didn't know much about him before he got in the race. I figured, given his credentials, that he would be an acceptable nominee. I've now reached the conclusion that he just isn't very good at anything, and is horrible beyond description at simple debating. He is not too talented and, seemingly, not too bright. He should withdraw before embarrassing himself further.

Rasmussen is ‘obviously bogus’?

Not perplexing at all. We got smacked up side the head with “compassionate conservatism” with GW, a Texan Governor if you recall. Not a second time.

I posted this to you on another thread but Perry just told New Hampshire students that the American Revolution took place during the 16th century.

What a maroon!

Good grief! We are a year plus away from the election. The economy will only get worse, why would it get better?

I haven't read or heard a reasonable explanation why it would.

Either way, you could put an actual natural born citizen Elephant as the GOP candidate and it will win the 2012 election.

Agreed 100%. However, two things:

1) The Perrybots need a taste of their own medicine.

2) He’s tanking even worse in the state polls.

Perry has been lied about and you are among the guilty.

Do the names Gingrich and Cain ring a bell?

Your post mirrors my experience exactly. Knew nothing about him and have been watching this train wreck with horrified fascination.

Speaking of maroons, did you hear that Cain invented a totally new country last week?

But, didn’t some Perry people come on here saying that PPP was not accurate and they preferred Ras? Well, I wonder if they agree with him now.

Interesting that Ras didn’t poll Cain against O this week.

My liberal wife and I were discussing Obama last night. He's not "hated" by people in the same sense that GW Bush was, but he's certainly started looking like an incompetent buffoon, watching things spin out of control as he becomes irrelevant. He just seems to be fading into the background.

Nobody takes him seriously at all. No leadership, no "hopey-changey" anymore. Just some pathetic loser who's simply occupying space as history goes by.

“now trailing President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup 49 percent to 35 percent.”

How does that square with polls showing that only 30% of Americans will definetely vote for obuma?

The BS is strong in this one, Skywalker.

Bret Baier included that tidbit of news earlier on his show.

First I had heard about it.

Geeeez.
