BREAKING POLL




Election 2012: Barack Obama 42%, Ron Paul 41%
Pennsylvania Senate: Toomey 50%, Specter 40%

 

[TheState]

Wow

Perhaps tellingly, just 42% of Republican voters have a favorable view of him, including eight percent (8%) with a very favorable opinion. By comparison, 42% of unaffiliated voters regard him favorably, with 15% very favorable toward him.

Now, if Dr. Paul could phrase what he is talking about in terms that the everyday American could understand, he would RUNAWAY with the election.

 

[Epic]

For reference, CNN found that Obama leads all other Republican contenders by at least 8 points (and Palin by 13): http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/04/13/rel7d.pdf

 

[Agorism]

SRLC and CPAC results clearly matter.

Fox News would be celebrating Sarah Palin Mania right now if she had won SRLC, and we'd have to look at more Rasmussen polling Palin again instead of Ron Paul.

Now, if Dr. Paul could phrase what he is talking about in terms that the everyday American could understand, he would RUNAWAY with the election.

Actually, it appears he is doing just that, from the article:

Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.

 

[Cowlesy]

6% of Republicans have strong unfavorables of him.

So that means those loudmouths who hate and hate on the internet about him are those 6%, and the other 94% we can reach.

[Agorism]

I keep telling people that Drudge is Ron Paul friendly.

No one believes me because they think his website is supposed to be like the Dailypaul.

 

[teacherone]

wow...what a beautiful day.

+1776!

The GOP doesn't accept change very well!

Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds Obama with 42% support and Paul with 41% of the vote. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama.

But Republican voters also have decidedly mixed feelings about Paul, who has been an outspoken critic of the party establishment.

Obama earns 79% support from Democrats, but Paul gets just 66% of GOP votes. Voters not affiliated with either major party give Paul a 47% to 28% edge over the president.

Paul, a anti-big government libertarian who engenders unusually strong feelings among his supporters, was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. But he continues to have a solid following, especially in the growing Tea Party movement.

Twenty-four percent (24%) of voters now consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement, an eight-point increase from a month ago. Another 10% say they are not a part of the movement but have close friends or family members who are.

(Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.

Thirty-nine percent (39%) of all voters have a favorable opinion of Paul, while 30% view him unfavorably. This includes 10% with a very favorable opinion and 12% with a very unfavorable one. But nearly one-out-of-three voters (32%) are not sure what they think of Paul.

Perhaps tellingly, just 42% of Republican voters have a favorable view of him, including eight percent (8%) with a very favorable opinion. By comparison, 42% of unaffiliated voters regard him favorably, with 15% very favorable toward him.

Twenty-six percent (26%) of GOP voters think Paul shares the values of most Republican voters throughout the nation, but 25% disagree. Forty-nine percent (49%) are not sure.

Similarly, 27% of Republicans see Paul as a divisive force in the party, while 30% view him as a new direction for the GOP. Forty-two percent (42%) aren’t sure.
Among all voters, 19% say Paul shares the values of most Republican voters, and 27% disagree. Fifty-four percent (54%) are undecided.

Twenty-one percent (21%) of voters nationwide regard Paul as a divisive force in the GOP. Thirty-four percent (34%) say he is representative of a new direction for the party. Forty-five percent (45%) are not sure.

But it’s important to note than 75% of Republicans voters believe Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters throughout the nation over the past several years.

I am SHOCKED !!

Not at the poll but at Drudge running it

 

[Bobster]

This is excellent news, but you have to remember that they will spin this as Paul being unelectable. Expect internal polling or other questionable numbers to show all other Republican candidates leading Obama by ridiculous numbers in excess of 7-8%+.

 

[Spider-Man]

Rasmussen!

OH GLORIOUS DAY

 

[pacelli]

Is this gonna be a reputable poll (like Gallup, Rasmussen, PPP, CBS, FoxNews, ABC... or something nobody has heard of... that is the question)

CNN just had a poll come out yesterday saying that Obama is up 8-13 points vs. all the main candidates.
