At least nobody would kibble about this nominee!

Two polls released today show Barack Obama in serious trouble for re-election. Rasmussen has polled Obama head-to-head against various Republican candidates most of the year, and in today’s matchup against Mitt Romney, Obama falls behind among likely voters to the widest margin yet:
Mitt Romney has now jumped to his biggest lead ever over President Obama in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup. It’s also the biggest lead a named Republican candidate has held over the incumbent in Rasmussen Reports surveying to date.The latest national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the former Massachusetts governor, while 39% prefer the president. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
A week ago, Romney trailed Obama 44% to 41%. The week before that, he held a slight 43% to 42% edge over the president. The two candidates have been essentially tied in regular surveys since January, but Romney remains the only GOP hopeful to lead Obama in more than one survey. Despite Romney’s current six-point lead, his latest level of support is in line with the 38% to 45% he has earned in matchups with the president this year. However, Obama’s 39% is a new low: Prior to this survey, his support has ranged from 40% to 46% in matchups with Romney.
It’s Obama’s number that is more significant in these early head-to-head matchups. Republicans are still vigorously contesting a primary, which means Republicans haven’t united behind a candidate in the way Democrats are already lined up behind Obama.

But just the other day, the MSM was breathless about a poll showing Obama’s job approval rating was sharply increased. How does this square with a poll showing he would lose re-election so decisively????
Proof positive that the public sees Romney and Obama as basically the same person.
Bad or worse. Not much of a choice.
I think those numbers didn’t hold. There is a thread here today about the change.
” - - - Proof positive that the public sees Romney and Obama as basically the same person.”
Maybe, or maybe the women voters like Romney’s new, “playfull” hairstyle a little better than his previous, more “Moderate,” slicked-down hairstyle?
BTW, Romney a carefree wildman? Who knew?!!!
Christmas bounce. Happens every 3rd year of a presidents’ term. Every other president since Gallup started polling (Roosevelt) experienced a surge in support to at least 53%. Even Carter, Ford, and Bush Sr. Gallup registered Obama peaking at 48%... now has him back down to 41%.
Unless I bungled the point, Romney is able to better score over Obama because the supporters of the non-Romneys remain unable to coalesce around ONE non-Romney candidate.
Frankly, the modern primary seems to have been successfully co-opted into a divide and conquer process for us, and a straight line advantage for the RINO Establishment. They unite to project their candidate, whom they have drowned in cash, influence and well timed endorsements. We bicker between three or four other candidates, while their guy runs the creases. What a strategy.
Yes, the libs are telling us that if we run Romney he will beat Obama!
Isnt that great? We sure hope you don’t run Romney. Even though he is your bast guy, and he would certainly win.
We are so afraid of Romney- gosh please dont run Romney against us- why look he would beat us by 5 % isnt that great?
Gosh... we sure hope you dont run romney

We need to nominate a conservative. Santorum is the last one standing.
At least nobody would kibble about this nominee!
This is good news/bad news. The good news is that a Republican would beat the Kenyan. The bad news is that the Republican is a RINO.
I doubt the sampling will be same in the 2012 election. Its anybody's guess what it will be, but my guess is that more statist drones will show up than in the midterm.
i think republicans will be more motivated than democrats in 2012.
Wow. No wonder Hilary’s shills are out in force pushing her for VP. If the POTUS and the VPOTUS kill each other who becomes President?
Is Santorum on the ballots of all the states? Has he missed any deadlines?
The Speaker of the House.
