President Barack Obama trails three of the four Republican candidates in head-to-head match-ups if the election were held today, according to a new Iowa Poll.

The Republican with the biggest lead: Ron Paul, who would defeat Obama by 7 percentage points, 49 percent to 42 percent. Rick Santorum, winner of the 2012 Iowa caucuses, leads Obama 48 percent to 44 percent. Mitt Romney, edged in the caucuses by Santorum, leads Obama 46 percent to 44 percent.

The president defeats only Newt Gingrich, 51 percent to 37 percent.

Iowa and new Hampshire - the 2 most vetted swing states both favor Ron Paul in the general election over the other GOP candidates. The more people know about him, the more they like him. Especially independents.

amusingly, WaPo paints this as Ron being THE ONLY ONE who would beat Obama - since the others are within the margin of error.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...ction-matchup/2012/02/18/gIQABoeUMR_blog.html
