On Drudge now...

Rasmussen is also skewed for Republicans, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. It should, however, plant the seed in the heads of GOP insiders that Ron Paul can outperform the others in the general.

Paul's lead is within 4% vs. 5% for Perry 7% for Bachman.

Better yet compare it to the horse manure shoveled by foxnews yesterday:

Romney does best against the president and is the only GOP candidate to keep Obama’s edge to single digits. Obama tops Romney by 6 percentage points. In addition, Romney is the only Republican in these early matchups to top Obama among independents -- by 6 points.

I respectfully disagree...they give Romney 1% behind Obama. They love Romney and other RHINO's, not Paul. But we shall see... There are also polls given a generic republican the lead.
 
Once RP starts getting name recognition and people start reading what he's been up to and writing for the last 30 years things will hit a tipping point... I believe we are witnessing a rebirth of the philosophy of liberty. Even when the Constitution was written the vast majority if citizens didn't understand or respect it. I think we will see a line in the sand being drawn between those who get freedom and those who want to be slaves.

I'm only shocked Ron Paul isn't polling higher than Obama.

Me too.

What I'm really glad about is that this is coming out as Perry's folks in Iowa are trying to convince Iowans that a win by Ron in the straw poll would make people stop paying attention to the poll. Yesterday's poll with Ron in third ahead of Perry and now this make that meme very odd.

So Ron is better than Perry in this (a recent PPP poll had Ron doing better against Obama than Perry, but that was just in Texas, I guess) and Ron does better against Obama than Bachmann.

The report...

Congressman Ron Paul may be a long shot to win the Republican presidential nomination, but he runs competitively with President Obama right now.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Paul picking up 37% of the vote, while the president earns 41%. The Texas congressman joins Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Perry as candidates within hailing distance of the president at this time.

The Paul numbers appear to be from the last week in June actually...strange they waited so long to break the story...
 
I'm getting tired of the media treatment of Paul. Imagine how well he'd be doing if he was one of their darlings.

That is odd. And I'm certain they meant to say that he polled second best against Obama after Romney and ahead of Perry, Bachmann and the rest....

But the "insider's insiders" don't care which party is elected, as long as its one of their men. I wouldn't put it past the GOP establishment to run someone certain to lose, because Obama is better, in their opinion, than an uncontrolled Ron Paul.

The variation between DIFFERENT Republicans shouldn't be triggered by that. Also, the way Rasmussen 'skews' is that it uses a 'likely voter model' not just a 'registered voter' or 'adult' model most of the time, and other pollsters only do that when they are in zone of the election.
 
the poll was also conducted June 26-27, 2011


Romney's was mid July. We've definitely gained at least a percentage point or two since then.
