Despite sweeping pessimism about the nation's fortunes and his own sliding approval ratings, President Obama leads potential Republican rivals Mitt Romney and Rick Perry in hypothetical general-election match-ups, according to a new TIME poll. Obama leads Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who sits atop the GOP presidential field, 46% to 43% among likely voters. The President has opened a double-digit lead over Perry, 50% to 38%, highlighting concerns percolating through the GOP that the Texas governor would face a steep uphill climb should he capture the nomination. Obama also boasts a 49% to 37% edge over businessman Herman Cain, whose strong Tea Party support has propelled him toward the top of Republican ranks in recent weeks.

a push poll to herd the animals onto the democrat plantation.
Time magazine and Yahoo news nuff said.
I wasn’t able to see the exact wording of the poll questions. that is the key. push poll sounds about right. I am simply not buying this.
If this is the best Time can do with one of their polls, Obama is worse off than I thought.
These lies only make it worse for Obama when the hammer comes down!
I’m not buying it either. I’m not buying that Americans want higher taxes, I’m not buying that Americans want 0bama that much, and I’m sure as hell not buying Time magazine.
That kills the poll credibility right there.
Election 2010, special election to replace Weiner. . .voters say no to taxes and spending.
Time magazine says, hey stupid voters, you don’t know.
"1001 adults unless where noted" and then its always less than 1001.
A reasonable person would ask why reduce the sample as often as this poll does? And what kind of adults? Adults at a Dave Matthews concert? Adults in prison?
Its utterly worthless.
It’s easy to get the results you want when you sample way more Dems then Ind or R voters.
Problem is there are not that many more Dem voters.
This is a media issues push poll, not a serious poll
It’s a lie. The ship is fine. We just hit some turbulence. The seafood bar is open.
1. Will you vote to re-elect the president, or are you a racist?
2. Should "the rich" pay their "fair share" as the Democrats want, or should they prosper at the expense of the poor, minorities, and women, as the Republicans want?
In college I had to do a lengthy research project on the New Deal. For source material I had to pull a lot of back issues of Time Magazine from that era in the library. Honest to Pete...they have not changed their stripes in almost 80 years!
Keep believing that, Time readers..
Look, folks, get real!!! If it comes from Time, Newsweek, the NY Times, MSNBC, CNN, Politico, etc., don’t waste your time!!! Obama is toast!!! And....so..is the Democrat Party!!!
It should read: “ The half of the population who don’t pay taxes, and sponges off of the government” side with obama.
It’s garbage like this that will make the landslide bigger....
I feel like I am speaking for the entire country when I say, “TIME, Would you please just SHUT THE HELL UP!”
This isn’t 1975 anymore, you idiots. Nobody is buying into your socialist bullsh*t anymore. Just do us all a favor and die already. Your TIME has long past.
I am sure BOTH their readers believe this
