CNN Poll: Obama leads Romney and Santorum in November showdowns
CNN ^ | 3/28/12 | Paul Steinhauser

Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama holds a double-digit lead over GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in hypothetical general election matchups, according to a new poll.

And a CNN/ORC International survey released Wednesday also indicates that the president's approval rating has inched over the 50% mark in CNN surveys for the first time since last May, when the polls were still registering the after effects of the death of Osama bin Laden. The number of Americans who say the economy's in good shape has jumped 13 points since January, though the survey shows a majority still think it is in poor shape.

If you read the internals. Back in November 2010 when the Dems lost 63 seats in House (one of the biggest wipeouts in history) - the poll had Obama at 48% approval and Dems favored over Repubs by 5 points. LOL!

This poll is corrupt.

I can’t figure, please explain why is Drudge pro-Romney?

Who would vote for Obama after his “recorded” words to Dmitry Medvedev?

We need a poll that matches up: Obama/Biden against Romney/Santorum.

Part of me thinks this CNN poll is baloney, the other part thinks there are enough stupid people in this country that it could be true.

Obama did NOT win by a landslide the first time, and I know a lot of people who voted for him who strongly regret it now.

I'm pretty sure we all know a lot of people in the above category. But, here is the $64,000 question:

Has anyone met the person who DID NOT vote for Obama in 2008 but will vote for him now?

18-22 year olds?

they fooled us in 1992 and in 2008 but they realize they can’t get away with it anymore. This election will be as much a referendum on the media as it will be on Obama. I just hope we can make it through it without a large loss of life.

I don’t believe this for one minute. I also have to say that people on our side need to get rid of Obama this next election, no matter what.

There has never been anyone as awful and dangerous as Obama.

Several McCain voters who passed away in the last 4 years will be voting for Obama this time, particularly in the states where Holder has overturned the voter ID laws.

The poll is of REGISTERED voters. Those are meaningless.

Drudge is part of the media arm of the Republican party and Romney is their hand-picked candidate.
