2012 Presidential Matchups
Election 2012: Romney 45%, Obama 39%

Thursday, December 29, 2011

Mitt Romney has now jumped to his biggest lead ever over President Obama in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup. It’s also the biggest lead a named Republican candidate has held over the incumbent in Rasmussen Reports surveying to date.

The latest national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the former Massachusetts governor, while 39% prefer the president. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Maybe letting the Banksters off the hook wasn't such a good idea after all

2. Yes, because we all believe Rassmussen polls - especially ones that are out of sync with

all other polls.

3. Series?/?

1) It's rAssmussen.
2) It's a telephone poll.... Landlines = the "You Kids Get Off My Lawn" crowd = Conservative (bigoted) Republicans.

4. True, but

right now the President should be so far out ahead that the best (R)asmussen can do is give Mitt a 1-point lead.

I'm seriously worried about this next election; the enthusiasm gap is still there. This is going to be an uphill slog the whole way.

5. We've got dirt on every single one of them.

Let's allow one of them to get nominated, then bring out the big guns.

If we explain it veeeeerrryyyyy slowly, Romney's use of Vulture Capitalism to grow his inherited fortune might make some impact on Republican voters - those who still have jobs, those who have been laid off over the past few years and those whose pensions went up in smoke (due to vulture capitalism).

6. Didn't make so much as a dent in Bush Jr's popularity

and that was a target rich environment

8. They sooooo stole that election.

We've got to fight this time, and we've got a sitting President to help.

7. US Election Atlas has near-real-time polling; they're very on the ball
