Republican Mitt Romney holds a slim edge over President Obama in a head-to-head matchup, a Fox News poll released Thursday shows. In addition, the poll finds the president’s job rating has dropped to its lowest point of the year.
In a presidential matchup, Romney tops Obama by 46-44 percent if the election were today.
As with every Romney-Obama matchup in the past six months, the race is so tight that it is within the poll’s margin of sampling error. This, however, is only the second time the Fox News poll shows Romney on top. The first time was November 2011, when he was also up by 2 percentage points.

The poll was conducted Monday through Wednesday. On Tuesday, Rick Santorum suspended his presidential bid -- giving Romney a clear path to the Republican nomination.
More Republicans (42 percent) than Democrats (32 percent) or independents (34 percent) say they are “extremely” interested in the upcoming presidential election.
Even so, the strength of party support in the matchup is dead even: 85 percent of Democrats back Obama and 85 percent of Republican back Romney.
Among the highly sought after group of independents, the poll found 43 percent back Romney and 37 percent Obama. Nearly one in four independent voters (21 percent) is undecided or won’t vote for either of the major party candidates. Last month, independents split evenly between Obama and Romney at 40 percent each. In February, Romney had a 9-point advantage.

Sorry, but that’s the FR party line. Either no vote, or vote for someone else.
It appears that you are correct on this point.
Yadda-yadda.
We heard the same old song with Bob Dole and John McCain.
There is no “lesser” evil. Both Obama AND Romney are evil in my book.
If all the GOP has to offer in order to beat Obama is a flip-flopper Mass. liberal, America deserves what it gets.
I can’t stand Obama, I can’t stand Romney, I can’t stand Obamney.
Newt Gingrich is in the race to win. I stand by him and WITH him, all the way to Tampa, and so should all genuine Republicans. F@$k the RINOs.
You might be right..since the Republican Party has merged with the Democratic party and why we have the Rhinos....the Rhino ‘third party’ has hyjacked the Republican Party.
So yes, I probably will have to go Independant in time...though I’ve noted some websites are now listing “Tea Party” as a party along with the others.
No doubt this year will be a shift for me...and I would be more than proud to become a part of a party who determines it will abide by conservative issues and stances....the Republican Party has abondoned those..and obviously so.
